Low Life Video Mixtape

Fri. June 8- One night only! Caterwaul presents the Low Life Mixtape, gleaning clips and shorts from teetering piles of VHS tapes & DVDs of underground, experimental & obscuro video, most less than 5 minutes in length. The Low Life Mixtape is inspired by many video mixtape pioneers such as WFMU’s That’s Irritainment!, Forbidden Transmission, 5 Minutes to Live, Everything is Terrible!, Viva VHS & others. It’s a thick visual braid woven from strands of source material both scary & sublime, stupefying & surreal, mystifying & mindblowing, ridiculous & ROCKIN’ - a cinematic feast for the mind & body. Expect head-scratching oddities, brain-warping experiments, eye-popping animation, jaw-dropping verite’, gut-wrenching tastelessness, footstompin’ music, and oh yes, MUCH MORE. Gentlemen rockers FANDO will also provide the live soundtrack to a longer piece about halfway through this two-plus hours cinematic feast. But don’t worry, feel free to drop in or out at any point! @ The Guild Cinema (3405 Central NW) show starts at 7pm w/ live musical intermission 8-8:20pm, $7/$5 after intermission.
