Pioneers of Punk Show

Don't miss this great show! July 26th at the Fillmore, SF. Flipper! The Avengers! The Mutants! Negative Trend! and us, Target Video! I am not sure what the Mutants have in store, but if their show is anything like the Fab Mab Reunion it will be an extravaganza. MC for the evening is Neil Hamburger. Target tapes open the show so get there early. Click on the show title above for tickets.

Target Video at PFA/Berkeley Art Museum

Sorry to all of you who were turned away from the PFA show last Saturday. It's exciting to have a sold out show, but a drag for those who missed it. Try again at the "Pioneers of Punk" show at the Fillmore on July 26th. Tix in advance from the Fillmore. Target Video is up first, so get there early!

We were glad to see many old friends including Sam Edwards (Target,) John Gullack (The Mutants,) V.Vale (Search and Destroy,) legendary photographer Ruby Ray and former Damage Magazine writer Shoshana Wechsler.

See you at the Fillmore!

Target Video Rocks the MOCA Crowd

Thanks to everyone who came down to Geffen/MOCA on Saturday night! It was a great show that kicked off with 2 hours of great classics from back-in-the-day provided by Henry Rollins. It was cool to hear such clean versions of the music.

The crowd of 1200 was totally enthusiastic about the cavalcade of videos from Target that flowed for the next 2 hours. We'd love to hear from you which your favorites were. Well, we have an idea, but tell us anyway!

Don't know if anyone knew the shirts were for sale in the store. You can still pick one up.

Next show is at the Pacific Film Archive at the Berkeley Art Museum in Berkeley on Thursday, June 19. Be there!
