DocHouse: Pussy Riot - A Punk Prayer + Q&A
Thursday, 27th June 2013
Rich Mix, 35-47 Bethnal Green Rd, Shoreditch,E1 6LA
PUSSY RIOT - A PUNK PRAYER + Q&A with co-director Mike Lerner

Dirs. Mike Lerner & Maxim PozdorovkinRussia / 2012 / 86 mins

On February 21st, 2012, following the controversial re-election of Vladimir Putin, Russian feminist punk group Pussy Riot committed a very public act of defiance on the altar of Moscow's most venerated cathedral

Their 40 second ‘punk prayer', performed in their now iconic multi-coloured balaclavas, openly challenged Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church, and set in motion one of the greatest ‘show trials' of recent times

Pussy Riot were immediately arrested on charges of religious hatred and when three members of the group were sentenced to three years in a penal colony the severity of the punishment galvanised international support and protests across the world

With unparalleled access, PUSSY RIOT - A PUNK PRAYER puts a personal face on an act of rebellion, going beyond the media furore and following three women prepared to defend their actions whatever it may cost them

Please Note: The film itself will start at 8pm with no adverts or trailers, so please arrive in good time.

Since their inception, the band has brought their genre-defying blend of country-tinged, psycho punk rock n' roll to over 25 countries worldwide with plans to conquer many more as soon as possible

Fronted by the vivacious Kenda (guitar/vox) and backed by the swarthy Sean "Sick Boy" McNab (stand-up bass/vox), The Reverend McGinty (sermons/organ/vox) and the righteous Sandro (skins), The Creepshow is an explosion of live energy that is a tasty treat for the ears and eyes alike… Whatever you do though, don't write The Creepshow off as just another psychobilly band

While their lyrics draw inspiration from b-movies and early horror films, they're also full of personal insight and personal stories dealing with everything from addiction to mental health to tales of love gone horribly wrong.

The Reverend Horton Heat with Special Guests Doubleblack and King of the North
Thursday, 30th May 2013
Governor Hindmarsh (The Gov), 59 Port Rd, Hindmarsh

Principal Entertainments present the return of Texas psychobilly legends The Reverend Horton Heat, live in Australia in 2013.The Reverend returns with his white hot band to deliver the good word from the bible of high-octane rock 'n' roll for his Australian disciples this May.

Long held as the last true masters of country punk laden rockabilly, The Reverend Horton Heat have built a reputation as one of the most inspiring live bands of their generation, a fact not lost on Australian music lovers who've witnessed The Reverend tear up venues across the country making the man and his band a must see on each and every visit.

Breaking outta Dallas Texas in 1985 Jim Heath aka The Reverend Horton Heat distilled a potent brand of musical moonshine blending the finest elements of punk, country, blues and good time hill billy rock 'n' roll to come up with a brew that across the span of 9 studio albums remains as fresh and intoxicating as they day it was bottled.  Building a strong cult following during the '90s through constant touring, manic showmanship, and a wicked sense of black humour, The Reverend Horton Heat shared with his contemporaries The Cramps, the role of championing this conglomeration of arcane music styles re-imagined to a point where they became vital and fresh.

A born hell-raiser of the non-manufactured kind The Reverend brings a real sense of danger back to rock 'n' roll, stories of sex, drugs, booze, and cars all set to a breakneck soundtrack of trailer trash guitars, street-level boogie grind and hell bent rhythm and booze. Rounded out by Jimbo Wallace on the upright bass and recently returned tub thumper Scott Churilla, The Reverend Horton Heat deliver verses from the gospel of rock with a fervour unmatched and an intensity that can only be described as religious.
