  • 8:30 PMOnline! The ElectricLatte BoogieBand Stretches the Space-time Continuum
    • 8:30 PM - 10:00 PM The ElectricLatte BoogieBand Stretches the Space-time ContinuumThe crack is not in the wall, the crack is in the space-time continuum. If you tore down the wall, the crack would still exist. That could get messy. Instead, if you plug your headphones into the crack, THIS is what you would hear. And see. In fact, these sounds are so vivid they may bleed into your eyeballs!The Drummer returns with his favorite friends: Jessica Joy Myers on violin, El Danix on guitar, James Cooper on bass, and Philly jazz legend Elliott Levin on sax, flute, and beat poetry. Special guest Bryce Mattoe provides a unique custom video backdrop, triggered by various bus mixes of each instrument and filtered through an analog synth module which distorts the video in reaction to the music. Don't ask how it works. That's an S.E.P.*Buckle your belly button, things are about to get bumpy-wumpy. Grab some shades if you're triggered by bright flashy stuff, or shut off your monitor and just listen to the winds of time as they wash over you. This entire show is improvised, 'cause like Elliott says:"Free Jazz is beautiful, man..."*someone else's problemTune in at 8:30pm Eastern to: https://youtube.com/live/0KLfq3-CyN4?feature=share

  • 7:00 PM In-person! Bright Bulb Screening Series: Serkis IS Dury in SEX & DRUGS & ROCK & ROLL and the animated S/HE
    • 7:00 PM - 11:00 PM Rescheduled from June 8BRIGHT BULB SCREENINGS, Free Double Features Every Second Thursday of the MonthFollow Bright Bulb Screenings on Facebook, InstagramCelebration of Outsiders Double Feature!SEX & DRUGS & ROCK & ROLL (2010, directed by Mat Whitecross, 113 minutes, U.K.)S/HE (2018, directed by Shengwei Zhou, 95 min., China)- - - -With SEX & DRUGS & ROCK & ROLL Andy Serkis, legendary for his motion capture performances as Gollum in LORD OF THE RINGS and Caesar in PLANET OF THE APES, breathes life into the biopic genre with a very very human performance as the iconoclastic English rocker Ian Dury. Stricken with polio and sent to a ghoulish institution as a child, Dury would remake himself as a take-no-prisoners new wave rocker in a music career that would make him a star and an international hitmaker.Director Whitecross (co-director of scathing documentary THE ROAD TO GUANTANAMO) doesn't neglect Dury's chaotic life and durable catalog of tunes, showing the demonic carnival barker & the band giving birth to songs like “Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick” “Reasons To Be Cheerful Pt. 3” and the timeless title cut. Even when it dips into melodrama, it is with a top-rank cast including Olivia Williams (RUSHMORE), Ray Winstone (SEXY BEAST), Naomie Harris (“Moneypenny” from the James Bond series), and a villainous Toby Jones. With Dury's son Baxter forging his own impressive musical career in Europe, their father/son relationship takes on an added resonance."Tackling the rise and fall of bolshy proto-punk gobshite Ian Dury, Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll is a riot of clattering noise and kaleidoscopic colour, off-kilter imagery and foul language, all the good things the title promises and much more,"- Tom Huddleston, TIME OUT“The film is a full-throttle rifle through the life of a fiercely chaotic figure, a man whose disability was clearly not nearly so terrifying to him as the prospect of an ordinary existence.”- Ben Child, GUARDIANtrailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tUR7EisSl4- - - - - -Shengwei Zhou's 2018 animated feature S/he (alternately listed as “S He”) evokes the work of offbeat animators Jan Svankmajer and The Brothers Quay although with his own visual aesthetic as his spins his dark, dark fable of a red high heel forced to disguise herself as a tough leather boot to raise to daughter in this dystopic, clothing-centric world of work and toil.Spending six years in production, Zhou's visual imagination never flags as we learn all the ghastly details of commerce in this fantastical world, that somehow resembles our own. To list the details would be to suggest I'd lost my senses, it's best to come and witness this one-of-a-kind triumph of wordless storytelling for yourself.“If the midnight movie circuit still existed, this would be a natural addition to its repertory. As is, 'SHe' will have to find champions among adventuresome viewers of adult animation — within which subgenre, this accomplished curiosity constitutes a major event.”- Dennis Harvey, VARIETY“‘S He’ is a blistering commentary on systemic sexism. You will never look at cherries the same way again. Please watch this movie.”- George Kapaklis, Rough Cut Film-dot-comtrailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RjdB8tWMgYAdmission is FREEFollow brightbulbscreenings on Instagram, Facebook

  • 8:00 PMIn-person! Cheer-Accident, Kyle Press, and George Korein and the Spleen
    • 8:00 PM - 10:30 PM Cheer-AccidentKyle PressGeorge Korein and the SpleenCHEER-ACCIDENTHailing from the singularly vibrant musical hotbed known as Chicago, CHEER-ACCIDENT has been a creative, vital force in rock music for over 30 years. They constantly strive to surprise their audiences and themselves through relentless reinvention. From dreamy pop to angular art-rock, CHEER-ACCIDENT strikes a powerful balance between personalized and unique studio wizardry and the visceral excitement of a well-honed, explosive live rock band. The band is currently a octet, comprising of various members who have come and gone throughout the past two decades. Their body of work is unparalleled in its ambition and originality.Current lineup:Jeff Libersher- guitar, trumpet, vocalsAlex Perkolup- bassMike Hagedorn- trombone, slide trumpet, tubaThymme Jones- drums, vocals, trumpetLaura Boton- vocalsCory Bengtsen- woodwinds, synth, drumsDroneLayer- keyboards, vocalsRoss Feller – woodwindshttps://www.cheer-accident.comKYLE PRESSAlways the strangest member of the various groups in which he performs, Kyle has one foot in funk and psych bands, one foot in free jazz/improvised music and another more recent foot in his abstract electronic music. His (2019) solo tape on No Rent Records is chock full of the unbridled weirdness that he usually uses more sparingly in his more conventional band projects, like wrong-note saxophone solos, super loud throat singing when you least expect it, electronic squeals and guttural noises. https://kylepress.bandcamp.com/.../overtones-drones-and...GEORGE KOREIN AND THE SPLEENGeorge Korein was born in a Wawa in Philadelphia and still lives in Philadelphia in a Wawa. He makes songs that mostly have singing and “and the Spleen” rhymes with Korein. A lot of the music is made almost alone but some is made with awesome musicians he won’t list here because that would be name dropping. People ask “What kind of music do you make?” and he still hasn’t worked up the pomp to say “Art Pop”. https://georgekorein.bandcamp.comAdmission: $5-10 suggested donation
