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

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

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.

THURSDAY AUGUST 12th

POMEGRANATES "Like A Phoenix From The Ashes"

Join us as we celebrate the release of "Pomegranates", a compilation of Persian folk, funk, and psychedelia on the Finders Keepers record label --- with a companion film collage! Following a successful sold-out premier in Los Angeles, we are proud to bring this multi-media pop-tastic collection of audio-visual rarities to New York!

This special night boasts a psychedelic visual feast of ultra-rare and never-before-screened-'till-now vintage film from '60s/'70s Iran, culled and curated from hundreds of hours and endless stacks of VHS and film of flicks from the

pre-revolution glory years. Curated by Mahssa Taghinia and Tom Fitzgerald (programmer at avant-art house Cinefamily, in Los Angeles, and director of Edan's Echo Party). Edited and "collaged" by Tom Fitzgerald, and soundtracked with an exclusive Persian mash-up mix done by Finders Keepers founder Andy Votel.

Andy will be appearing and DJing the soundtrack LIVE to the Pomegranates film exclusively at this New York screening! The night will also feature bonus visuals to accompany the feature film collage: un-earthed music video pastiche of songs from the compilation, along with vintage commercial reels and a montage of choice selected scenes with subtitled(!) dialogue.

A fun celebration of drinks, catered Persian dinner and pastries, artwork. Special guest appearances by the curators of Pomegranates will be DJing after the screening!

Amidst the protests, violence, and politically charged situation within Iran, currently, we are excited to present a positive celebration that is socially and culturally relevant and informative, within New York

FRIDAY AUGUST 13th

STONE

Finders Keepers/B-Music U.S. and Film Comment Summer Meltdown team up here to present a rare screening of the full-throttle, genre defining granddaddy of Ozploitation cinema for one night only. Sandy Harbutt's 1974 Australian Biker-Psych auteur cult classic takes key ingredients from across the exploitation cinema palette and concocts a heady brew of Bikesploitation, Drugsploitation and Satanic Cultism for this celluloid milestone, which proceeded the likes Mad Max (while donating half of its cast) by half a decade.

Revered amongst psych-cinema-buffs, b-movie aficionados and fans of experimental rock music, Stone counts champions such as Quentin Tarantino amongst its disciples who owns one of the few remaining prints in his collection. Comprising an infectious soundtrack by the seldom-traveled cognoscenti of Aussie funk rock (recently re-issued by celebrated lost-pop librarians B-Music / Finders Keepers), Stone provides perhaps the only record of any genre that mixes Power-Moogs with didgeridoo.

The evening will be bookended with the U.S. debut of Finders Keeper's Andy Votel's Cock Diesel biker-psych DJ/VJ club night which blends vintage global motorcycle-music (Global Cock Rock / Bikers OSTS / Full Throttle Fuzz / Power-Bike-Psych) with custom built footage from a life-long library of international biker b-movies. For this one-off event Andy will be joined by WFMU’s Brian Turner and Mahssa Taghinia (B-Music U.S). Take The Trip.
