During the Serb-Croatian war a young soldier and devout Catholic (JAKOB BOKULICH) unwittingly drinks tea made from the hallucinogenic datura flower and experiences what he believes to be a visitation from the Virgin Mary. In this religious vision, he receives a dangerous mission which he takes to heart and travels to post-9/11 America — Oakland, California — to fulfill. While preparing for his apotheosis, two Persian sisters (ANASTASIA VEGA and ATOSA BABAOFF) who live next door surreptitiously involve themselves with him towards potentially disastrous results.

Fever Night (or Static Age aka Band of Satanic Outsiders) is an acid-trip, psychotomimetic horror film about three Satanists who are faced with serious repercussions after going into the woods one night and worshipping the Devil. The trouble starts when Terry (Melanie Rose Wilson) is accidentally run over as the three try to get their car out of some mud. This leaves Elliot (Peter Tullio) and Warren (Philip Nolan Marlatt) to traipse through the dark woods towards a bright light hoping to find help…

As their desperation to get out of the forest increases, they come across foreboding signs like dead birds, animal skulls, anthropomorphic foliage…and Satan himself. Will they be able to survive their descent into Hell or are their fates already sealed?

Description: In Celebration of their first full length album, The Yellow Dress and ATA present an evening of music, videos, literature, and unending joy

The Yellow Dress: The official house band of www.therumpus.net, The Yellow Dress sprung to life in late 2007 with a series of songs about(respectively) the tragic death of Tatiana the tiger, a dogfish shark named Gus, and an invasive owl. While their songs have grown less animal themed in nature, their sense of whimsy is fully intact. The group consists of guitar, bass, drums, glockenspiel, and male/female vocals, and have been known to also include ukulele, stand up bass, pedal steel guitar, accordian, trumpet noises, banjos, and whistles. www.myspace.com/theyellowdress

Foxtails Brigade:“Porcelain’ is how their friend Uni, the one with the ukulele, dubs their unmatched sound. She’s right: the pretty melodies and flower-strewn stories conjure memories of playing dress-up in vintage finery. Yet a sharp, almost violent edge is ever present, saving the music from sugary sweet, indie-folk doldrums.” – SF Bay Guardian
