This time around, that filmmaker is Damon Packard. He’s been making films for over twenty years, but it was his nightmarish Reflections of Evil that made us sit up and take notice. Reflections of Evil is one of the most unique indies we’ve ever seen. It’s unpredictable, inventive, hilarious, disturbing, it’s the kind of film you can’t believe you’re seeing while you’re watching it and once it’s over it’s hard to watch anything else because of the major impact it has left on you...love it or hate it. Now, Damon has recently finished his Untitled Star Wars Mockumentary and it’ll be one of the funniest things you’ll ever see, love or hate the Star Wars prequels. It's been Packard Mania over here at Film Threat HQ” FILMTHREAT <br/> <br/>“As far as all your references to Speilberg, fuck it, you're way more interesting and intense than that fuckin guy."- Henry Rollins <br/> <br/>"Yo--Watched the movie. Wow! What a trip!! I personally loved it. Laughed my ass off a couple of times. But I don't know if it's supposed to be funny? Why haven't I seen this on the Sundance Channel?? Looking forward to the next film. Maybe my music could be of service?" Sammy Hagar <br/> <br/>"…yeah, pretty cool- like an underground movie....actually pretty damn awesome, the more I think about it the more it blows me away. Obviously a lot of work went into it...” Robby Krieger (The Doors)--watched it with toothache <br/> <br/> “I saw it and I didn't like it. I considered it harassment that you sent it to my home address multiple times - these things are usually sent to agents. It creeped me out to receive this type of mail at home - I try to keep my home address as private as possible. I didn't like the movie and I didn't like your wise-ass letter. I'm a supporter of independent and cult films being in many of them myself. This marketing approach is going to hurt you in this town, not help you. I'm pissed off. Knock it off and please do not respond to this e-mail.” Jim Belushi <br/> <br/>I'm calling on behalf of Mr. William Asher who has received 3 copies of your RIDICULOUS REPULSIVE movie. Please don't send anymore DVD's, we do not want them! Thank you very much for leaving us alone!!" William Asher (Director of Bad News Bears, Private Benjamin, etc.) <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>AMPS FOR CHRIST <br/> <br/>www.ampsforchrist.com <br/> <br/>Henry Barnes - Amps for Christ <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>Barnes has been building stringed instruments, pre-amps and amplifiers of an experimental nature for many moons and used them while in the hardcore/noise band Man Is The Bastard (MITB). Barnes and Connell (drums of MITB) started a side band called Two Ambiguous Figures with Barnes playing sitar and Connell on the tablas. It evolved into AFC, after Barnes' amicable departure from MITB in 1996. Since '92, Barnes has also been working with Wood --and sometimes Nelson-- on another side band called Bastard Noise. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>Amps For Christ has strong elements of pure noise and experimental throughout. Back in 1996, Barnes met Enid Snarb who is a recording freak and preparer of Hammonds. They started recording AFC. There have been many collaborators and the line-up is ever changing... <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>Claremont, California is home base. Barnes got his first axe at The Folk Music Center in Claremont during the brief period when it was across the street from where it is now. His mom is a folklorist and traditional ballad singer and has been very influential on his traditional side from early childhood on. Barnes' dad was into John Cage and Harry Partch and had an early jazz band for which he was songwriter, washboardist and singer for many decades. Barnes Grandma (Lita) was the organist at a church and taught piano lessons at home in San Bernardino, California. So you see some of the eclectic influences, eclectic desires and reasons for the eclectic sounds of Amps For Christ. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>MIKE TAMBURO <br/> <br/>www.miketamburo.com <br/> <br/>Mike Tamburo was born in 1977 in New Kensington, PA. When he was 15 months old he was diagnosed with Otitis Media. His ears had filled with fluid and he was unable to hear correctly for several months. Ear specialists and surgery introduced Mike to the world of test tones and perceptual challenges. A musician from a very young age, Tamburo is an accomplished guitarist, performing primarily on the acoustic guitar informed by his love for visual art and extensive studies of 20th century composition. In the late 90s Mike founded the band Arco Flute Foundation with Pete Spynda, Matt McDowell, Rob Dingman, and Jeff Komara. In 1996 he also formed Meisha with Ken Camden and Pete Spynda. Both bands recorded and released a number of records and toured extensively before eventually breaking up, leaving Mike to pursue his now thriving solo career. Currently Mike tours the world obsessively in support of his impressive debut Beating of the Rewound Son, released in 2005 on the Music Fellowship label to much critical acclaim. He now performs alone and is always recording, painting, making films and videos, listening to music, studying Enthobotany, thinking or watching television. "Beating of the Rewound Son is a beautiful album that is just as comfortable exploring sun-drenched houses in the country as it is empty warehouses sitting along a polluted river, and it is the discoveries you can find here that which makes the album so rewarding." —Brainwashed "In a musical climate that seems hungry for acoustic guitarists who aren't afraid to veer from the beaten path (see continued reverence of Fahey, the emergence of Basho-Junghans into the American consciousness, and the exaltation with which Sir Richard Bishop's last disc was received), Mike Tamburo, in Beating of the Rewound Son, has made an intelligent and impressive debut." — Fake Jazz <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>THE MASTER MUSICIANS OF HOP-FROG <br/> <br/>www.hop-frog.com <br/> <br/>The Master Musician's of hop-frog is a joint project of members of the hop-frog kollectiv, a Los Angeles based collective formed in 1999 focused on experimental arts, poltical dissent and fever dream realization and are the creators of the Dung Mummy, experimental arts gatherings started in 2003....with MMoHF you'll find psychedlic arabic guitars, saz, toy acordians, toy keyboards, indian melodies, experimental electronics, snake charmer flutes, etc. mixed with broken beats and deranged senses. <br/> <br/>hop-frog has released 3 albums, 2 in France and has toured Europe on two occasions. They’ve also played with such luminaries, as Rose McDowell (Coil, Current 93, Strawberry Switchblade, Spell, etc.), Joe Budenholzer (Foetus, Current 93, Backworld), Steve Mackay (The Stooges, Violent Femmes), Dalek, Faun Fables, David J (Bauhaus, Love &amp; Rockets, etc.), Cheb I Sabbah, Not Breathing and many more. <br/> <br/>PHAUL <br/> <br/>http://www.hop-frog.com/phaul.htm <br/> <br/>A member of the hop-frog kollectiv "Phaul is a new sonick seasoning in the world of noise music.

<div>Dear Ladies and Grunts, <br/> <br/>The hop-frog kollectiv presents: <br/> <br/>THEE DUNG MUMMY RETURNS @ IL CORRAL, SATURDAY, JULY 2nd. <br/> <br/>DUNG MUMMY’S 1ST COSTUME PARTY – COME DRESSED AS YOUR FAVORITE GURU, POLITICIAN, ASSASSIN OR JUST YOUR WACKY SELF <br/> <br/>w/ CABINET OF CURIOSITIES, DEMOCRI$Y, PHAUL &amp; HOP-FROG’S DRUM JESTER DEVOTIONAL <br/> <br/>+ YOUR FAVORITE AVANTE GARDE&amp;lt;POST-PUNK&amp;lt;EXPERIMENTAL&amp;lt;INDUSTRIAL TUNES SPUN BY MONKEYWRENCH <br/> <br/>+ the art of Randy Focazio <br/> <br/>DUNG MUMMY @ il corral <br/> <br/>July 2, 2005 @ 8PM - $6 – suggested donation <br/>664 no. heliotrope dr (just south of melrose) <br/>los angeles, ca 90004 <br/>323-663-0137 <br/>find it on mapquest <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>CABINET OF CURIOSITIES <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>Oddly familiar yet completely original, CABINET OF CURIOSITIES strikes a sentimental note even in the most hardened listener. Trey Brinkley’s classical yet innovative piano creates a magical background for Evelyne Bennu’s sultry and sexy vocals. The mood is Cabaret, in its purest and most lyrical form. Dressed in doll-like garb and exuding a feeling from a place which could have been in the past yet definitely belongs to the now, this duo weaves a strange and comfortable atmosphere for the ear as well as the eye. Galatea, the double bass, takes a life of its own in the hands of Bennu as she resonates deep tones to punctuate Waltzes, Tangos, Bossa-novas, Blues and other, not so definable yet wondrous pieces that will leave an indelible impression of a new yet colorful landscape where people who look like antique dolls sing and play songs about the world and its troubles, of love and of the human condition. <br/> <br/>MP3s: http://www.myspace.com/cabinetofcuriosities <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>DEMOCRI$Y <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>DEMOCRI$Y isn't just a political commentary, it's also a 4-man improvised, experimental music/noise ensemble. <br/> <br/>We don't write songs, we just manipulate sound sources. We combine experimental vocals with digital and analog instruments and tools to create dark, heavy sound montages ranging from exploding, brutal noise to progressive IDM breaks to minimalist ambience and drones and anywhere else we wander. Our sound is influenced by experimental, grindcore, noise, avant-garde, ambient, progressive electronic music and beyond. When we play it's not unusual to hear a live drummer battling it out with a drum machine or a chorus of non-melodic vocals. <br/> <br/>We are also politically progressive and our imagery is often critical of overextended power. We don't preach, we just have fun while raising consciousness. Interpret to your own benefit. <br/> <br/>We are interested in networking with other bands (or specialty acts) to book joint gigs and strategize for world domination. If you would like to book us to play your event or venue we'll be happy to oblige your sick fantasy. Just e-mail us. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>SOUNDS LIKE: Avant, post-grind vocals over noxious, experimental, improvised, dark, brooding and often harsh, aggressive soundscapes based from digital and analag electronics, acoustic instruments, contact and traditional mics, possible tape loops or toys or any other soundmaking devices which we can manipulate creatively to produce original results. Mp3s: www.democrisy.net <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>HOP-FROG’S DRUM JESTER DEVOTIONAL <br/> <br/>Hop-frog’s drum jester devotional is the brainchild of one of the founding members of the hop-frog kollectiv, e.loi, aka Jeremy Morelock and features core members of the hop-frog kollectiv. Fresh off their European Tour DJD is sure to send you into a trance w/ their midi-eastern, oriental broken beats mixed with post punk and dub. Don’t know what I mean? Just Listen http://www.myspace.com/hopfrogsdrumjesterdevotional <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>The hop-frog kollectiv have performed with Not Breathing, DJ Cheb I Sabbah, David J (Bauhaus, Love &amp; Rockets, etc.), Steve Mackay and The Radon Ensemble (The Stooges, Violent Femmes), Dalek &amp; Dame Darcy (Meatcake). <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>hop-frog have not only toured with Backworld (feat. Joe Budenholzer of Current 93, Foetus, etc.) and Sorrow (featuring Rose McDowall of Strawberry Switchblade, Spell, Current 93, Death In June and Coil) on two separate occasions but members of hop-frog have played in both of these projects for the duration of the tours. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>The live performances are especially intriguing featuring heavily effected traditional western instruments such as clarinet, violin, guitar, drums, analog and bass fused with eastern, tribal, toy and non-traditional instruments such as the saz, toy &amp; real accordions, circuit bent keyboards, snake charmer flutes, christmas tree bells, the Dhol, broken cymbals and even a kitchen sink. hop-frog have performed on several occasions in Paris, France, all over Europe and all over the western U.S.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://hopfrog.tribe.net">hop-frog kollectiv</a> - 0 replies </div>

We, The 999 Eyes Ov Endless Dream travelling cirkus and freakshow, have applied for a grant from the BORG2 organization, funding independent art at burning man this year - the grant money is being handed out on an electoral basis, making this a VERY IMPORTANT popularity contest for us. <br/> <br/>It costs nothing to vote for us, but it means a nice chunk o change to us if we win, or even get close. All you have to do to sign up is go to the following website and sign up for the borg2 "BUllhorn" emailing list. Then you get your password, and keep up on the voting process which will take place before the end of the month! <br/> <br/>It's kind of complicated - don't hesitate to ask for my guidance if you get confused. <br/> <br/>Time is running out and we need your help on this one... to bring back the carnival sideshow and freakshow to life!!! <br/> <br/>www.borg2.org <br/> <br/>999eyes.tribe.net/ <br/> <br/>Thanks so much!

<div>October 6, 2003 - I don't even know what day it is I had to search my digital calendar...it's all the same desperation, depression, devotion, war, famine, republicans, where's our revolution? 7376 where's there revolution? 9178... 7376 ..where's there revolution? 9178 ........7376 where's there revolution? 9178........ 7376 where's there revolution? 9178..... 7376 where's there revolution? 9178 ......7376 where's there revolution? 9178 .......7376 min.-max. 9178 civilians dead in Iraq. more civilians than soldiers ...now times that by 100s..we march in the streets and everyone laughs..our own frends don't even take us seriously....our own lovers....what once was my shattered cry to be an activist and to help has become a grumbled muttering of madness as all look at me with three eyes....three eyes... i see people being tortured, mothers losing children. calfs being strung up in front of their mamas, birds spending there lives in cages, a boy having his arms and legs blown off by a dormant cluster bomb bought with money extracted from the paycheck of my shady job...i see people hopped up in their own issues their personal head traumas, their ego trips, i can't fucking fucking stand egos...they tell me we all have them...i don't think so..it's just another ploy..an excuse for your upside down issues. so fucking caught up in their own egos that all they can think about is thireselves and their superficial lives ... they make excuses for not giving enough time to care about anything but theirselves and their miserable lives their misearable american middle class lives ..by considering the activist community a focus group..they talk a pretty talk and in reality join the masses as being lifeless sick bodies of human waste sitting there doing nothing being nobody accomplishing nothing but CHAOS ......besides making theirselves a happy legend and nothing else... spending their whole lives worrying about theirselves and never sharing that worry with an unknown boy or girl in syria who's just lost their whole family after being carpet bombed in an air raid from Isreal. I just don't unDERSTANd why we americans are so superficial and try to say we aren't.... i just don't understand ............so i'm sure by the time i'm forty ......instead of finding me here you'll find me in a mental institution.....i ....love........... you! <br/> <br/>DiCK JEnKins 2003</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://hopfrog.tribe.net">hop-frog kollectiv</a> - 1 reply </div>
