The event will feature a screening of the film, and a presentation by The Professors Of Urgh!, Chaki and Chris Slusarenko, who have amassed over 55 episodes about the wheres, whys, and hows of the epic 80s concert film, URGH! A MUSIC WAR, coming to light. Speaking with guests who appear in the film, they have gotten the history of this film and its artists firsthand. Plus, they will unlock the jaw-dropping secrets of the incredible incognito, head-scratching band, Invisible Sex (HEAR INVISIBLE SEX SPEAK TO YOU!!!!).
About URGH! A MUSIC WAR:
Considered one of the most ground zero documents of the late 70s/early 80s New Music Scene, URGH! A MUSIC WAR has rarely been seen on the big screen. Featuring 34 bands ranging from the well-known (The Police, Devo, X, Joan Jett, XTC, The Go-Gos & Gary Numan) to the true underground (Dead Kennedys, Magazine, The Cramps, Pere Ubu, Au Pairs, Klaus Nomi), the film is beautifully shot and recorded, allowing each band to sound and perform completely authentically.
About THE PROFESSORS OF URGH!:
Chaki is a Los Angeles-based electro-funk artist, performer, and underground culture instigator blending heavy bass, synth-driven grooves, and a surreal, offbeat stage presence. He has toured with El Vez and Fishbone and opened for Parliament Funkadelic, as well as opening multiple dates on tour for Jerry Harrison and Adrian Belew’s Remain in Light touring band. His latest release, From L.A. to the Bay on High Occulture Records, is a career-spanning 12" featuring classic bangers and three new cuts. Beyond music, Chaki is the creator of the Punk Rock Graveyard Tour at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, a cult-favorite experience exploring the resting places and stories of punk and underground icons. He is also a recurring guest on The Best Show with Tom Scharpling, hosted by Tom Scharpling.
Chris Slusarenko is the host of the top ten Apple Music Interview podcast, Revolutions Per Movie— a guest-driven podcast about music films with guests such as Peter Buck of R.E.M., icon Paul Williams, Spiral Stairs of Pavement, Ann Magnuson & Kevin McDonald of Kids In The Hall. A lifelong musician with albums on Sub Pop & Rough Trade, he has been a member of Guided By Voices and Eyelids, and has also been an independent video store owner for over 20 years.
