LOS ANGELES, CA – Shout! Factory announces the DVD debut of The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder: Punk & New Wave, a two-disc collection of episodes from the ground-breaking late-night television show. This double-DVD set includes hours of fascinating interviews and historical performances with some of the key musicians of the punk and new wave era of the late '70s and early '80s. Punk & New Wave includes the 1977 round-table discussion about the emergence of punk rock in the U.S. and rare televised multiple-song sets from the Ramones, the Plasmatics, Iggy Pop, The Jam and Elvis Costello & The Attractions. In addition, the DVD set would not be complete without the infamous on-air outburst from punk's bad boy, John "Johnny Rotten" Lydon. The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder: Punk & New Wave two-DVD set will be available in stores on January 24th for $29.98 (suggested retail price).
"The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder" began in October 1973 in the late-night time slot following Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show" and continued in one form or another until January 1982. As punk and new wave music emerged, "The Tomorrow Show" welcomed many of the genres' earliest figures for interviews as well as live performances. In 1977, Snyder hosted a roundtable forum with musicians JOAN JETT, Paul Weller, scene-ster Kim Fowley, concert promoter Bill Graham, and music journalist Robert Hilburn. Snyder went on to interview punk rock poet Patti Smith and outspoken Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon, the latter of which evolved into a now-legendary shouting match between the guest and host. In 1981, "The Tomorrow Show" began airing with live musical performances, including standouts "Watch Your Step" by Elvis Costello & The Attractions, "I Wanna Be Sedated" by the Ramones, "Funeral Pyre" by The Jam, and more.
