Weekend Transgression
Apr 9, 2009
Atlanta
Whet your appetite for Transgression and the No Wave scene that inspired filmmakers, artists, and musicians in Downtown New York during the 80s when you view the third in the series of films shown at Whitespace. “The Cinema of Transgression” will feature excerpts from short films by the convulsive, controversial and strictly over-the-top Richard Kern, and punk filmmaker Nick Zedd, who is famous for his blood, shame, pain and ecstasy. Not for the faint of heart nor weak of stomach, this film is for connoisseurs of the dank and the dangerous. “Scornful and flippant, their films and music violently attack conformity they see all around them, highlighting an erotically-charged and sardonic movement.” Fo’ Free.
Friday, 9 PM
Swing by the Pretty Things Peepshow at Smith’s Olde Bar, to celebrate The Hots Rods‘ CD release with The Creeping Cruds and The Downtown Executives. Pretty Things Peepshow is “a vintage burlesque road show with funny-man host Mr. Vincent Drambuie. The cast consists of Suicide Girl, burlesque dancer and pin up queen Bettina May, gypsy burlesque starlet go-go Amy and the fire-eating, sword swallowing, whip-cracking Miss Angelica Insectavora. Full-costume, short-skit, in-good-fun stripping by real-bodied women skilled in the art of tease.”
