Rock ‘n’ Roll Film DOUBLE FEATURE!

Thursday March 12th @ Headhunters patio, The Austin Underground Film Society presents:

WILD IN THE STREETS

a screening of the 60s cult rock classic, followed by
live music by CROOKS and THE HOT AS SHITS

“Max Flatow is a precocious, social miscreant who has a way with home-made explosives. When he tires of these, he runs away from home only to emerge seven years later as Max Frost, the world’s most popular entertainer. When Congressman John Fergus uses Frost as a political ploy to gain the youth vote in his run for the Senate, Frost wills himself into the system, gaining new rights for the young. Eventually, Frost runs for the presidency. Winning in a landslide, he issues his first presidential edict: All oldsters are required to live in ‘retirement homes’ where they are forced to ingest LSD, taking the 60s catch phrase ‘Never trust anyone over 30′ to its most extreme consequences.”

Friday March 13th @ Beerland, The AUFS presents:

ALTAMONT NOW

The new underground hit by Joshua Brown, based on the Austin play of the same name. With live music by THE CRACK PIPES and MAN STAMPS. More info soon.

“Equal parts art house, grind house, and rock ‘n’ roll, Altamont Now takes the subject of the counterculture itself and makes it not only accessible but smart and wickedly funny.
The film concerns one Richard Havoc (the terrific Daniel Louis Rivas), a rock musician who, it practically goes without saying, has problems with authority and delusions of grandeur (he was expelled from second grade for calling his math teacher a “fucking sellout”). These soon manifest into a full-blown messianic complex, as he sees his teen idol status as a ticket to be a pied piper to wayward youths and lead them in a revolt against… well, it’d be shorter to list what he’s not rebelling against. Punk rock, he seems to be cool with. Punk rock and large-bore firearms.”
