On June 13, 1978, the soon-to-be legendary rock band The Cramps went to play Napa State, a psychiatric hospital in the small town of Napa in Northern California. Opening for them was The Mutants, an eclectic septet of art school punks from nearby San Francisco. Here for the first time ever: the long lost footage, unedited, remastered from the original reel-to-reel videotape, and further contextualized by a short documentary.
