Joe Losurdo that used to play with Life Sentence, plays with Goblins, Regress, etc... has been working on You Weren't There for the last...six years (or so). Final product's near completion and we're working on booking a show to go with the screening towards end of November. More information will be posted this week...

The info is out, and check out the afterparty, holy shit!


=============================
"You Weren't There" Movie
Premiere Saturday, November 24th
=============================

The movie is premiering at the Portage Theatre, 4050 N. Milwaukee Ave., Chicago.

There will also be an after-film show at a location to be announced. So far they have confirmation from the Mentally Ill (the Gacy's Place lineup that have never played live EVER) and Negative Element who have not played since 1983. The Subverts and Rights of the Accused are considered possibilities too.

===========================================
Documentary about Chicago Punk circa 1977 - 1984.
===========================================

Although Chicago has been overlooked in the annals of rock history, Chicago served as an important early supporter of the Punk movement in America.

From what is now considered the first Punk Rock dance club in the United States (La Mere Vipere), to the proto-hardcore clubs (OZ, O'Banion's), to the All Ages DIY Centro American Social Club, Chicago embraced Punk. Chicagoans made sure that there were outlets for the genre that was often blacklisted by the more mainstream local live music clubs.

"You Weren't There" talks to the DJ's, musicians, promoters, artists and fans who were pivotal in creating the Chicago Punk scene. It also showcases classic archival footage of great Chicago bands such as the Effigies, Naked Raygun, Strike Under, Articles of Faith, as well as lesser known greats like Silver Abuse, The Subverts, Savage Beliefs, DV8, Negative Element, Rights of the Accused and many, many more.

I can't make the show tonight, but really want to see it. Are any other showings scheduled?
