SATURDAY, AUGUST 13 – 7:30 PM
A double screening of both films followed by a Q&A with Joe Escalante of The Vandals (This event is $10)
This film series presents works from Kung Fu Films and Records, the record label and production company of Joe Escalante, lead member of the seminal punk band: The Vandals.
Since the early 1980s, the Vandals have cultivated a legacy through their melodic/skate punk albums such as Peace Thru Vandalism and When in Rome Do As The Vandals. Hailing from Southern California, The Vandals emerged alongside other influential acts such as T.S.O.L, the Adolescents, and Black Flag.
ANARCHY BURGER is a selection of movies related to the Vandals. The programming features a chaotic and hilarious remastered 2002 version of “Sweatin’ to the Oldies,” a live punk show with behind-the-scenes footage, never before seen clips, and interviews of the band members from the early 90s that proves their music needs to be seen and heard; and “Cake Boy,” a full-length comedy about a depressed cake maker who falls in love, joins a band on tour, and goes on to fulfill his dream of winning a cake making competition against a very formidable opponent in the bakery world.
