“Rock 'N Roll Anthropologist” Penelope Spheeris to Receive PRESS-RELEASE “Rock ‘n Roll Anthropologist” Penelope Spheeris to Receive 2017 LIFF Lifetime Achievement Award Laughlin NV, September 23, 2017 --- Film Director, Producer and Screenwriter Penelope Spheeris, often referred to as the “Rock ‘n Roll Anthropologist” for her acclaimed documentary films depicting the music scene in Los Angeles over the past 40 years, is set to receive the 2017 Laughlin International Film Festival (LIFF) Lifetime Achievement Award on Saturday, October 14th at LIFF’s 6th annual Awards Ceremony to be held at the Tropicana Casino, Pavilion Theater. Spheeris, who holds a UCLA Master of Fine Arts degree in Theater Arts, will be honored for her long list of achievements as a break-through filmmaker who covered the LA music scene in depth, telling the story in a way never before explored by a filmmaker. Spheeris is best known as the Director of “Wayne’s World” (1992). The film, which was Mike Myer’s feature film debut, was both a critical and commercial success and the 8th highest grossing box office success that year. Her music video of “Bohemian Rhapsody” (Queen) which was featured in the film won her a Grammy nomination. In her early career, Spheeris produced short subjects for comedian Albert Brooks, many of which were highlighted in the first season of “Saturday Night Live”. In 1974 she formed the first Los Angeles music video production company, “Rock ‘n Reel”. She went on to make her first feature film “The Decline of Western Civilization” (1981), a punk rock documentary which she produced as well as directed. Later, in 1988, she followed up with “The Decline of Western Civilization, Part II: The Metal Years”, a film which included footage and interviews of legendary bands such as Kiss, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, Megadeth and Motörhead. In 1998 she followed with “The Decline of Western Civilization, Part III”, another in depth look at the punk rock scene on the streets of Los Angeles at that time. The “Decline of Civilization” film trilogy was defined as “A bracing, stimulating and technically superb close-up look at the L.A. punk scene” by Variety magazine. The films were made available on both DVD and Blu-ray in 2015 by her distributor Shout Factory. A very special addition to the upcoming LIFF event will be a screening of the film “Dudes”, which Spheeris produced and directed in 1987. “Dudes” is a story about alienated punk kids who discover a sense of values while setting straight the death of a friend. The film stars musicians Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Lee Ving (Fear), along with actors John Cryer (“Two and a Half Men”), Daniel Roebuck (“Mob City”) and Catherine Mary Stewart (“Weekend at Bernie’s”). The “Dudes” soundtrack features The Vandals, The Little Kings, Keel, Jane’s Addiction and Steve Vai. The film is “An almost unclassifiable oddity – a punk-road movie-Western-ghost story” (Moria Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Film Review). LIFF will be screening “Dudes” on Saturday, October 14 at 5:15 PM at the Laughlin Stadium 9 theaters in the Laughlin Outlet Center, with Penelope Spheeris in attendance for an audience “Q & A” session after the film. Pre-sale tickets are available on-line at www.laughlinfilmfestival.com or will be available at the LIFF Sales table in front of the theaters beginning on Thursday October 12th. Tickets are $10.00 ($8.00 students / seniors). The full schedule for all films being shown as part of the Laughlin International Film Festival is posted on the LIFF website: www.laughlinfilmfestival.com. LIFF “VIP All access” passes and “All Day film screening passes” are also available on the website for pre-purchase or may also be purchased at the LIFF Sales table during the festival.

    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • It's Jerry's Birthday Chatham County Line
    K k JULY 2014 VOL. 26 #7 H WOWHALL.ORG KWOW HALL NOTESK g k IT’S JERRY’S BIRTHDAY On Friday, August 1, KLCC and Dead Air present an evening to celebrate Jerry Garcia featuring two full sets by the Garcia Birthday Band. Jerry Garcia, famed lead guitarist, songwriter and singer for The Grateful Dead and the Jerry Garcia Band, among others, was born on August 1, 1941 in San Francisco, CA. Dead.net has this to say: “As lead guitarist in a rock environment, Jerry Garcia naturally got a lot of attention. But it was his warm, charismatic personality that earned him the affection of millions of Dead Heads. He picked up the guitar at the age of 15, played a little ‘50s rock and roll, then moved into the folk acoustic guitar era before becoming a bluegrass banjo player. Impressed by The Beatles and Stones, he and his friends formed a rock band called the Warlocks in late 1964 and debuted in 1965. As the band evolved from being blues-oriented to psychedelic/experi- mental to adding country and folk influences, his guitar stayed out front. His songwriting partnership with Robert Hunter led to many of the band’s most memorable songs, including “Dark Star”, “Uncle John’s Band” and the group’s only Top 10 hit, “Touch of Grey”. Over the years he was married three times and fathered four daughters. He died of a heart attack CHATHAM COUNTY LINE in 1995.” On Sunday, July 27, the Community Tightrope also marks a return to Sound Fans have kept the spirit of Jerry Garcia alive in their hearts, and have spread the spirit Center for the Performing Arts proudly wel- Pure Studios in Durham, NC, where the and the music to new generations.

  • Trans-Femme Portraits at the Dawn of the Sexual Revolution Program Curated by Dirty Looks’ Bradford Nordeen

Skirball Series $10 [members $8] For tickets, please visit: The Girl Can’t Help It The Girl Can’t Help It: Trans-Femme Portraits at the Dawn of the Sexual Revolution Program curated by Dirty Looks’ Bradford Nordeen A platform for queer film, video, and performance founded in 2011 by CalArts alum, writer/curator Bradford Nordeen, Dirty Looks has dug deep into documents of trans history to assemble a program of archival drag and trans portrait films that spool from experimental cinema of the 1970s, activist video, and nightclub documents. Spanning decades of production, illuminating (lost?) queer histories and liminal spaces across America, The Girl Can’t Help It screens poignant testimonials and early rhetorics of trans- femme ideation. The centerpiece of the program, Joseph Horning’s short film Valerie, has not been screened publicly since its inclusion in the 24th Ann Arbor Film Festival in 1975. This program is not geoblocked. Ticket holders will have 72 hours to view the program once the screening has started. Program contains discussions of early gender reassignment surgeries, details of police persecution and some brief nudity. In person via Zoom: filmmaker Susan Milano; other filmmakers TBC; curator Bradford Nordeen “…a reminder of just how radical queer love, lust, and visibility can be.” - Hyperallergic “In our gay-marriage era, it’s reassuring to know spaces like those fostered by Dirty Looks can be a forum for queerer politics to make a comeback.” – Artforum The Program Joseph Horning Valerie, 16 min., 1975 This stunning, verité portrait of a Black transgender sex-worker living as a housewife in Ohio is a remarkable time capsule and a testament to a life of perseverance.

  • Bamcinématek Presents Indie 80S, a Comprehensive, 60+ Film Series Highlighting the Decade Between 70S New Hollywood and the 90S Indie Boom, Jul 17—Aug 27
    BAMcinématek presents Indie 80s, a comprehensive, 60+ film series highlighting the decade between 70s New Hollywood and the 90s indie boom, Jul 17—Aug 27 Co-presented by Cinema Conservancy The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor of BAM Rose Cinemas and BAMcinématek. Brooklyn, NY/June 11, 2015—From Friday, July 17 through Thursday, August 27, BAMcinématek and Cinema Conservancy present Indie 80s, a sweeping survey of nearly 70 films from the rough-and-tumble early days of modern American independent cinema. An aesthetic and political rebuke to the greed-is-good culture of bloated blockbusters and the trumped-up monoculture of Reagan-era America, Indie 80s showcases acclaimed works like Jim Jarmusch’s Stranger Than Paradise (1984—Jul 18), David Lynch’s Blue Velvet (1986—Aug 8), and Steven Soderbergh’s sex, lies, and videotape (1989—Aug 14) alongside many lesser- known but equally accomplished works that struggled to find proper distribution in the era before studio classics divisions. Filmmakers including Ross McElwee, William Lustig, Rob Nilsson, and more will appear in person to discuss their work. Like the returning expatriate’s odyssey in Robert Kramer’s four-hour road movie Route One/USA (1989—Aug 16), a sampling of 80s indie cinema comprises an expansive journey through the less-traveled byways of America. From the wintry Twin Cities of the improvised, hilariously profane road trip Patti Rocks (1988—Aug 25) to the psychopath’s stark Chicago hunting grounds in John McNaughton’s Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986—Jul 29) to the muggy Keys of Florida in filmmaker Victor Nuñez’s eco-thriller A Flash of Green (1984—Aug 12), regional filmmakers’ cameras canvassed an America largely invisible to Hollywood.

THE GENRE FORMERLY KNOWN AS “PUNK”: A QPOC’S PERSPECTIVE ON THE SCENE Shane Zackery Scripps College Claremont CA, 91711 1 THE GENRE FORMERLY KNOWN AS “PUNK”: A QPOC’S PERSPECTIVE ON THE SCENE Abstract This video is a visual representation of the frustrations that I suffered from when I, a queer, gender non-conforming, person of color, went to “pasty normals” (a term defined by Jose Esteban Munoz to describe normative, non-exotic individuals) to get a definition of what Punk meant and where I fit into it. In this video, I personify the Punk music movement. Through my actions, I depart from the grainy, low-quality, amateur aesthetics of the Punk film and music genres and create a new world where the Queer Person of Color defines Punk. In the piece, Punk definitively says, “Don’t try to define me. Shut up and leave me to rest.” 2 1 Conceptualization My project will be an experimental performance video that incorporates monologues, performances, visual sound elements, and still and moving images.
