Strong on Plow.18+, ID Required. Winnipeg Psychedelic Productions and Red Star/Blue Star presents an evening of psy and techno featuring not one but TWO out of town headliners!!!
Featuring:CHAKRA KAHN (Techno - Saskatoon)This past 15 years, musically, has been a journey to find the inner of Chakra Khan, family roots, heritage, and culture merging into a finished product of Canadian work. DJing Techno for almost a decade (as DJ Chakra Khan) set the base and starting point to use electronic music combined with everything else (including real time instruments, vocals, collaborations, etc) to lead the way to a new persona as Quadrant Khan. Playing guitar since 12 and working in various projects and bands he moved from that to Electronic music when introduced to the PPM Club/Movement in '95. It was this that introduced him to a whole new world of sound, feeling, and expression. WAV OCCUPATION (Psy - Edmonton)Jordan Smoliak and Ryan MacDonald have been DJing Psychedelic Trance since 2001 and are two of the pioneering members of the Techno Hippy Crew. A Motion Notion and Astral Harvest headliner, these two have also opened for acts such as Shadow FX, Sensient, Infected Mushroom, Nystagmus, Nokturnal and Chris Organix. Jordan and Ryan play a variety of psychedelic beats which range from rare and dark progressive to funky full-on. WAV Occupation's dynamic and provocative psychedelic sounds should continue to promote spiritual dendrite growth into the next wave of human avevolution. Alongside locals:Rayne (Techno)Lo Progression vs A-Ok (Psy)Dubbz (Psy)FreqKing (Psy)LSDave (Techno)Nathan Zahn (Old Skool Techno) Live psychedelic visuals featuring Wpg Psy's resident VJs the Psychedelic Monks 2 full rooms of musicUV decor and lightingHot cage dancersTickets are available at Kustom Kulture and Shopgirl for $10.

Cinematheque - 100 Arthur St. The Winnipeg Film Group presents BLOODY TALES FROM THE FILM GROUP BASEMENT
Starting at 9pm, it includes the short films:
PURGATORY by Éric Falardeau - an atmospheric picture about self-hating, through graphic automutilations, of a man facing his own purgatory.
MASTER OF THE DARK By Nelson Santos - When Gasket discovers an old book of evil in the glove box of a 1940's Oldsmobile it awakens the spirit of an evil soul that kills anyone for disturbing his slumber.
RED MEN RISING By Cindy Murdoch - After toxic wastes is carelessly dumped into the river, it flows down stream and finds its way into the ground of "Northern Pines Communist Graveyard", disturbing the dead and causing them to re-animate and rip free of their graves.
PARASITE by David Zellis - Jock Van Rysell’s sanity is literally flushed down the toilet when he is stalked by a male patient of his.
INSANOPHENIA by Steven Kostanski - Two dim-witted exterminators are about to find there are more disturbing things than the sexual advances of their maniacal supervisor as they descend into a nightmarish world of indescribable terror.

Friday, April 11 & Saturday, April 12, 2008 - 11:30pm at Cinematheque:

NIGHT OF THE COMETDir. Thom Eberhardt USA 1984 - Horror/Sci-Fi DAWN OF THE DEAD meets VALLEY GIRL in the ultimate '80s teenage APOCALYPSE! The people of all nations gather to witness the passing of a majestic comet through the night sky. One hour later, humanity has been reduced to red calcium dust...with the exception of Hollywood High School sisters Reggie and Samantha. The few other survivors are flesh-eating wasteoids or merciless subterranean researchers scrambling for live test subjects. This leaves our heroines with an important question: can they machine-gun enough rotting cannibals and government goons to make it to the mall? Because when the world has ended, the latest fashions are free! Zombies, disorder and violence served up frantic, savage and TOTALLY rad.

Friday, April 25 & Saturday, April 26, 2008 - 11:30pm at Cinematheque:

DEVIL FETUS Dir. Hung Chuen Lau - Horror Sometimes two simple words, like "true" and "love", can combine to create a spellbinding, lyrical beauty that transcends mere language and touches the human heart. Such is the case with DEVIL FETUS!! A blazing bedlamathon that had no right to ever be made, this cinematic felony is fortified with enough unrepentant wildness to challenge the fortitude of even the most stalwart exploitationeer. Incestuous transvestitism, multiple beheadings, featherweight bestiality, white-knuckle black magic showdowns and hardline electrofunk-powered rumpshaking are among the delights unearthed when a woman has consensual relations with the swamp beast that lives in a vase she bought at the swap meet. Gird your loins for an epic whirlwind of lust, gore and animal cruelty in this 200-ton barrel of lowbrow DYNAMITE! Could this be the most offensive Hong Kong movie of the 80s? YES!

Saturday, February 9, 2008

The Fritz Lang Classic, METROPOLIS, will be playing at the Cinematheque (304-100 Arthur Street) with a Live Score by Random Interference. The ghost of Fritz Lang has beckoned Random Interference to musically interpret LIVE his immortal work "Metropolis" using all manner of analog and digital at it's disposal. The evening will open with a Random Interference and Difficult Viewing production Cartoon short from "Tormented Toons". Random Interference is currently comprised of four individuals and works with the following instruments:
1. Jay Taylor - Long time professional musician working with a plethora of acoustic instruments (notably bass guitar)and co-founder of the notorious 1990's psychedelic rock band "Disappearing floor". Taylor orchestrates and weaves a tapestry of mixed live instrumentation.
2. Murray Toews - Deluxe-media artist, animator and audio-artistToews has been lured by the seductive imagery of Lang. Using random voice alteration and carefully constructed audio loops derived from massive city interiors- the dimension of METROPOLIS can then be realized.
3. Zlatan Banicevic - A.K.A. "DJ EVIL BASTARD" and an authority (more or less I suppose) on all things Goth and cyberpunk - Banicevic brings a stark, cold metallic sound that acts as audio support girders using state-of-the-art keyboards forged from his former iron curtain homeland ('yeah whatever').
Doors open at 7pm, tickets are $12 General admission and $10 for Students and Seniors.
RE has been rehearsing its ass off to a VHS copy, and, Murray, it's gonna either kill us or make us gods.

She Wants Revenge performs also at The Pyramid Cabaret. From what I've heard, they're pretty good. Haven't listened to any of their music yet. According to the info on ticketmaster (tix not yet available as I enter this) "She Wants Revenge is comprised of Justin Warfield and Adam 12, two Los Angeles DJs with the stated musical goal to "make girls dance and cry." Their dark yet dance-able sound harkens back to '80s Manchester, and their 2006 self-titled debut album released on Geffen Records is rife with hooky melodies and melancholy wit".
