The Return of Egg City Radio's Post Punk Film Fest....

Anyone in LA in to what happens here would also be way in to Egg City Radio's Post Punk Film Fest 2 at the Cinefamily. It started off with what I hear was a truly epic tribute to New Wave Theater that featured a shit ton of unseen and rare footage from that local and legendary show. The other nights are sure to hold unimaginable bounties as well.

Thursday, Feb. 4th - Night Flight presents A Tribute To New Wave Theatre
Thursday, Feb. 11th - Post-Punk Junk Mix Night (feat. Car Cemetery)
Thursday, Feb. 18th - Athens, GA: Inside Out (w/ filmmakers in person!)
Thursday, Feb. 25th - Liquid Sky (w/ director Slava Tsukerman in person!)

Way of the West

I don't know much about this Boston band Way of the West, and Google didn't help, but it's pretty good shit. I tracked this down after hearing "White Boys" sandwiched in between The Hawaiian Pups and Cluster by one of the DJs at The Echo. I think it was at an Ariel Pink show.  If you know anything about these dudes, do tell.

Here's a folder with all their singles and a few extras:

Don't Say That's Just For White Boys (1980)
Drum (1981)
See You Shake (1981)
City for Lovers (1984)
Feel the Steel (1984)
