The surreal, off the cuff southern strangeness of Howe Gelb (of Giant Sand) will collide with mighty motherfucking Brendan Canty (Fugazi) and Brent Green to perform live narrations and improvised soundtracks to all of Brent’s films at the UVA Film Festival in Charlottesville, VA on Friday, Nov. 2nd. It’s at the Gravity Lounge (103 S. 1st St., Charlottesville, VA) and it will be amazing. We swear. An entire hour spent on the verge of collapse. Please come by.

Brent’s going to be screening a pile of newer films with live narrations and soundtracks by the Quavers on the roof of 350 Grand St. on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. It’s part of the Rooftop Films show Dark Toons- so sad and scary little films (a new Bill Plympton film… all kinds of stuff) followed by Brent and the Quavers- starts at 8:30- it’s going to be beautiful. We hope to see you there!

ADDRESS: 350 Grand Street between Essex and Ludlow
INFO: The Open Road Rooftop Project is atop what used to be Seward Park High School (the building now houses several different schools). You should enter at 350 Grand Street.

by TRAIN
Take the F, J, M, or Z to Essex / Delancey and walk south on Essex two blocks, make a right on Grand Street and enter at 350 Grand. .

Brent will be screening all of his films with live soundtracks by The Quavers at the Whitehot Magazine launch party- Thursday, Sept. 6th at 9PM on the corner of Eldridge and Stanton. Brent’s set will follow a set of songs by the Quavers.
The whole thing is going to be beautiful… It’s on the street- the films projected in a truck behind the band. People will be dancing, the music sounds like old Motown records, Brent will be yelling the narrations like the carnie he’s destined to become when his art career finally fails next year.

So: Whitehot Magazine. Launch Festival Concert Truck, corner of
Eldridge and Stanton, Lower East Side, Manhattan.

All you need is love. We can give that to you. Stop by.
