A Band Called DEATH
Fredag den 15 november bjuder vi i Filmklubben Topper, Bio Rio och Debaser Hornstulls Strand in till en helkväll på tema Motown & Punkrock. På Bio Rio visas den rosade dokumentären ”A Band Called Death”, om de tre bröderna som på tidigt 70-tal i Detroit tog de första muskaliska stegen till det som många år senare skulle resultera i punkrockens födelse. Innan filmen blir det DJ:s, bar och quiz i Rios salong och efter filmen fortsätter kvällen på Debasers Brooklyn Bar.
Bakom skivspelarna på Brooklyn hittar vi Topper & Bio Rio själva.
Kvällens gäst-DJ är Nadja från Socker från min Honung. Biljetterna köper ni här.
DOKUMENTÄR Before Bad Brains, the Sex Pistols or even the Ramones, there was a band called Death. Punk before punk existed, three teenage brothers in the early ’70s formed a band in their spare bedroom, began playing a few local gigs and even pressed a single in the hopes of getting signed.But this was the era of Motown and emerging disco.
Record companies found Death’s music—and band name—too intimidating, and the group were never given a fair shot, disbanding before they even completed one album.
Equal parts electrifying rockumentary and epic family love story, A Band Called Death chronicles the incredible fairy-tale journey of what happened almost three decades later, when a dusty 1974 demo tape made its way out of the attic and found an audience several generations younger.
