Description

This Film Should Be Played Loud: See new, classic and rare concert films on the big screen. We kick off the party with a DJ set and drinks specials.

Ron Hawkins (Lowest of The Low) goes not for a solo act with backup, but a real band so good he ends up recording a double album with them. Was this a risky move in today’s music climate of iTunes and singles? Luck’s Hard is an intimate look at the formation of a band and the recording of an album. A band member’s near fatal illness doesn’t stop them and playing sold out shows keeps them moving. Success is desired, but creating and playing music keeps them going. NXNE

Directors David Brown and Dan Williams and Ron Hawkins and the Do Good Assassins will participate in a Q&A.
