Loren Cass, a punk rock-influenced film first reported on in 2003 has picked up distribution and is being screened in New York City this week with further screenings in Los Angeles, Chicago and Tampa planned in the coming weeks. The movie is described as “a gritty tale of growing up and fading out. The film follows Cale, Nicole, and Jason through a few weeks of alcohol abuse and loneliness as they struggle to find what’s missing.” The movie features a live show by Leftover Crack and contributions from Keith Morris and Blag Dahlia
The New York Times had this to say about the film:
Overtly, ingeniously experimental in form, “Loren Cass” cuts among these three and an assortment of local wasted youth in an elliptical, intuitive manner, alternating listless scenes of opaque introspection and booze-fueled bumming around with sharp bursts of violence. The movie is a tour de force of mood and milieu, marshalling a hundred vivid details of landscape: parking lots, packing crates, shopping carts, peeling wallpaper, broken bottles, cheap salads, over-lighted diners, oily garages.
Psychedelic rockers Dr. Dog have inked with Anti- Records. The Philadelphia band is currently prepping its label debut, slated for an early 2010 release.
Some dates have begun trickling out for Brand New‘s forthcoming fall tour. While support acts have not yet been fully revealed, it appears Thrice, Glassjaw and Manchester Orchestra will appear on scattered dates.
Endwell will be heading out on The Raising Hell Tour alongside Thick as Blood, Lionheart and Venia. They will, however, be absent for approximately the last week of the tour, so for them, perhaps it does not…end well.
The band will be performing the album in its entirety, as well as its related B-sides: “Weird at My School,” “Dancing the Manta Ray,” and “Bailey’s Walk” among them. SourceContinue reading The Pixies→
