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!)

lucrate milk

Lucrate Milk - La Rage Qui Vit

Lucrate Milk are new to me but it reminds me of some no wave stuff like Y Pants and Mika Miko and also the more punk less slick Essential Logic. I couldn't find much info but I think this is a collection of their output from 1979-1983.

Lucrate Milk - No Kods
Lucrate Milk - Lustiges Tierquartett
