Ted Leo/Pharmacists - Dirty Old Town

Starring: Ted Leo

Directed by: Justin Mitchell

RS: 3of 4 Stars

In the first installment of Plexifilm's concert-film series, Leo takes his raw, politically charged pop punk to New York's Coney Island, where he played last summer's Siren Music Festival. Leo and Company churn out their anti-corporate crowd pleasers with conviction and wit, as the lanky singer hops around like he's standing on hot sand. Political unrest hasn't been this potent or sexy in years.
