Go West of Zanzibar with Fucked Up
By jonny ~ Posted Friday, April 8th 2011The anticipation is building for tomorrow night's World Premiere of Fucked Up performing their original live score to the classic 1928 Tod Browning silent film, West of Zanzibar. This historic occasion will mark Wavelength's sixth annual co-presentation with the Images Festival, as well as their Closing Night Gala. Eye Weekly went behind the scenes and visited the Polaris Prize-winning punk rockers at their practice space to take a sneak peek at their creative process.
This very special screening / performance will be taking place at Toronto Underground Cinema (on Spadina between Dundas and Queen) and the evening will kick off promptly at 8pm with a big-screen showing of Luminations, the debut DVD by Wavelength's own in-house projection artists, General Chaos Visuals. After 11 years of providing his inimitable psychedelic visuals for thousands of performances at Wavelength, The Ambient Ping, Optical Sounds and numerous other live shows, GCV's Stephen Lindsey is finally getting the attention he deserves. NOW magazine recently interviewed him about Luminations and his unique place in Toronto music history.
Tickets for Saturday night are going fast, so pick yours up at Rotate This, Soundscapes, Queen Video (on Queen) and the Images Festival box office.
