a big week for b-music/finders keepers/chouette


B-MUSIC at The Film Society of Lincoln Center

THURSDAY AUGUST 12th; 9PM
POMEGRANATES: LIKE A FIRE FROM THE ASHES
TRT: 100m Approx.
Co-presented with Pomegranates and Finders Keepers
The Film Society of Lincoln Center
Walter Reade Theater 165 W 65th St New York NY
* Tickets Available at Other Music and The Film Society of Lincoln Center

Join us as we celebrate the release of Pomegranates, a compilation of Persian folk, funk, and psychedelia on the Finders Keepers record label. This special night features a feast of ultra-rare vintage film from Sixties and Seventies Iran, culled from hundreds of hours of material from the pre-revolution years. Curated by Mahssa Taghinia and Tom Fitzgerald (programmer at Los Angeles avant-art house Cinefamily, and director of Edan’s Echo Party), “collaged” by Tom Fitzgerald, and soundtracked with a live onstage Persian mash-up by Finders Keepers founder Andy Votel. The night will also feature an unearthed music video pastiche of songs from the compilation, along with vintage commercial reels, and a montage of selected scenes. The curators of Pomegranates will DJ the afterparty.

FRIDAY AUG 13; 8:45
STONE
Dir. Sandy Harbutt, 1974, Australia; 103m
Featuring a pre-show onstage turntable warmup by Andy Votel!
Co-presented with B-music, Finders Keepers and WFMU

Walter Reade Theater
165 W 65th St New York NY

The soundtrack, recently made available by our buddies at Finders Keepers, destroys brain cells with such efficiency we (almost) forgot it was attached to the Second Greatest Australian Biker Flick of All Time. Satan-worshipping, leather-clad, Oz-bred road hogs consume mass quantities and cause much commotion for—what better reason—the thrill of it all. The story, triggered by some sort of political assassination, is skeletal, but who needs plot when you’ve got pure motorcycle speed, bad psychoactive chemicals, and pounding electric guitars? (Cinephile trivia: Tarantino keeps a print in his vault.) After the smoke clears, Finders Keepers and WFMU’s Brian Turner will spin discs and pump beverages in our gallery.
