Take an alchemical journey with Ira Cohen’s Invasion of the Thunderbolt Pagoda, a mythosphere-filtered-through-Mylar worthy of Kenneth Anger’s most lysergic moments, with ritual music provided by ex-Velvet Undergrounder Angus Maclise. Also on the program is Marty Topp’s Paradise Now: The Living Theatre in Amerika. “Life, revolution and theater are three words for the same thing: an unconditional NO to the present society” – Julian Beck.
A striking document of the 90’s reunion of legendary Krautrock band Faust, captured live in all their post-industrial glory at the legendary 1996 Faust Garage concert. Program will also feature rare performance footage & interviews from the giants of Krautrock: Kraftwerk, Neu, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, & many more.
From Coalinga To Osaka — Faxed Head: Live in Japan 1995 Beautifully shot on three cameras during Faxed Head’s improbable 1995 tour of Japan, From Coalinga To Osaka documents the pride of Coalinga, CA in all their self-handicapped, brain-damaged glory. Live footage of the self-proclaimed “desk metal” quartet is interspersed with baffling but authentic footage of a Japanese junior high school class in which the students are being instructed on the subject of… Faxed Head! This strange and wonderful document is a surefire hit to fans of Mr. Bungle, Neil Hamburger, and Caroliner all acts that Faxed Head has long been associated with, for reasons that are not clear.
