Description
ONE NIGHT ONLY: Special Guest band "QUIET" will play psychedelic covers before the screening at 6:30pm, screening starts at 7pm! The film's director Neil Norman will be in attendance! BRING YOUR SHARPIES for autographs from The Seeds merchandise table! Using vintage footage, rare photos, memorabilia and audio, and fresh interviews with band members and associates as well as notable fans and observers, Pushin’ Too Hard relates the bizarre rage-to-riches-to-rags tale of the rock quartet who took Los Angeles by storm in the mid-60s. From Hollywood to Brooklyn, Toronto to Albuquerque, Pushin’ Too Hard, the acclaimed rock-doc tracing the incredible rags-to-riches-to rags trajectory of 60s garage avatars The Seeds, has been enlightening and entertaining audiences at screenings across the nation. The saga of Sky Saxon and the Seeds is one of the more bizarre entries in the lexicon of rock; this movie traces a path from cutting-edge underground quartet to psychedelic emissaries who became the victims of their own flower-powered success. Using rare vintage footage, stills and ephemera to spin the tale, luminaries such as Iggy Pop, Beach Boy Bruce Johnston, the Bangles and members of the original Seeds themselves weigh in with pungent observations upon the hugely influential quartet with the minimalist style that continues to strike a resonant chord. Pushin’ Too Hard gives you the who, what, why and wherefore of the Seeds in a jam-packed 100 minutes that the New Times labeled a “must see.” Don't miss this one night only event with award winning Director Neil Norman from Hollywood! Neil will provide an entertaining and informative Hollywood style Q&A after the screening.
