The video can be found on the link below.

The "architect" of Nuyorican Poetry Slam was Keith Roach, who took over after Holman left the Cafe in 1996.I used footage taken from a series of Grand Slam Finales at the Cafe and distilled them into a 3 minute homage to what Keith did best – create community. Unlike Bob, Keith was not a "performer" so I focused on his cool ability to make the poets the center of the event. Link to this video on the website link below.

18 "Bloody Band Aidz"
Description:
The Bloody Band Aidz are a group of blood-soaked band aidz that are members of the craziest rock band of all time. Having never held real jobs or finished high school, the only way they know to exist is by traveling the globe wreaking havoc with their outrageous brand of rock. For 30 years, they’ve made a living rocking on tour. Banned in Croatia. Wanted in Sweden. After two long, hard, decades of rocking on stages all over the world they are forced to stop touring because of an incident. During an especially wild show, a band member bites the head off an endangered species of goose—as a resulting punishment, a hard-nosed judge puts them on “town arrest” in their hometown of Nardsworth, New Jersey. The Band Aidz set up their offices in one of the area’s shadiest taverns a dingy dive called Dong’s Place. At Dong’s, they are surrounded by a local crowd of derelicts, groupies, high school janitors, aging kung-fu instructors, and headbangers. They’ve signed-on to be the house band at Dong’s, playing a song each night at last call, in return for a bottomless bar tab and all you can eat chicken wings. Can the state of New Jersey contain these bad, bad, Band Aidz? Can their town ride-out this much rocking? The BBA'z is being developed as a TV series.
