Hey everybody,
We’re taking a couple of weeks off so that E2 can use the space, but we’re coming back at you on Friday, November 10th 6th. We’ll start off with a show at The Synapsis featuring Warhammer 48k, The Signals, and someone we can’t tell you about yet.
Then on November 10th it’s an Art Hang and the monthly meeting of The Placebo’s Knitting Club. Immediately following, we’re gonna have an All Local Bands show. That puppy is still being organized, so if yer in a band that’s interested in playing, contact Samantha at moohat3 at aol.com.
November 17th, the Flashy Robots are bringing in their futuristic drag punk improv glam rap variety show. Whew. It’ll be good, just-this-side-of-clean fun with a couple of bands to set the tone.
The next day, Saturday November 18th coughmybirthdaycough we have a most excellent show featuring The Pasties, The Trucks, The Professional SuperHeroes, and The Signals. Oh yeah. That night is for to dance.
Do we even need to say that all of this is All-Ages and as cheap to get in as we can make it?
And hey, why don’t you check out The Placebo Forums during the downtime? Get involved, say what you like, what you don’t. Get serious or happy. Talk amongst yerselves, eh?
It’s Your Scene Too, Take Care of It!
Back in February, HSU’s Ethnic Studies Collective and Black Student Union brought AfroPunk to Arcata. A bunch of Placebo folks saw it there and we were intensely impressed. So. We’re bringing the film to Eureka so more people can see it, talk about it, and have thinky thoughts about the scene. Also? This time, there will be hardcore.
Afro-Punk, a 66-minute documentary, explores race identity within the punk scene. More than your everyday, Behind the Music or typical “black history month” documentary this film tackles the hard questions, such as issues of loneliness, exile, inter-racial dating and black power.
We follow the lives of four people who have dedicated themselves to the punk rock lifestyle. They find themselves in conflicting situations, living the dual life of a person of color in a mostly white community.
The style of the documentary inter-cuts interviews from scores of black punk rockers from all over the nation with scenes from our four protagonists’ lives. They come from different regions, generations, genders, and sexual preferences but their stories are amazingly similar.
Afro-Punk features performances by Bad Brains, Tamar Kali, Cipher, and Ten Grand. It also contains exclusive interviews by members of Fishbone, 247- spyz, Dead Kennedys, Candiria, Orange 9mm and TV on the Radio to name a few.
