Description

This Film Should Be Played Loud: See new, classic and rare concert films on the big screen.

Revenge of the Mekons chronicles the unlikely career of a genre-defying collective of socialist art students, born out of the 1977 British punk scene. Reigning contrarians, the Mekons continue to make bold, unpredictable music while staying true to the punk ethos. This rich and illuminating account of an under-recognized band is a lively and entertaining film—with killer music—which we promise to play LOUD!

Arrive early as we kick off the party with DJ Moe Berg and drink specials. Don't miss the post-screening Skype Q&A with special guests.
