PUB: THE MOVIE Returns To Melbourne With Accompanying Epic Live Gig
Filmmaker Andrew Leavold‘s PUB: THE MOVIE is returning to Melbourne this Saturday (March 9) accompanied by an epic live gig at the St Kilda Sports Club, kicking off from 6pm.
You’ll get Fred performing a ‘Best Of’ set with help from John Lawrance and friends, the triumphant return of THE CLIP CLOP CLUB, 90BPM (featuring fellow PEPTIDES Angela Howard and Rob Wellington), CLAY DIRT, THE UNBELIEVABLE TRUTH (ex-TISM, Peptides), raffles, auctions, live drawing and a screening of PUB: THE MOVIE.
Tickets are only $20 and available at the door with all proceeds going to Fred, Andrew & Dick Dale for a mammoth PUB: THE MOVIE & RIBSPREADER European Tour.
PUB THE MOVIE finds director Leavold working off a wealth of archival material – photos, recordings, live performances – to explore the life and times of “the unofficial mayor of St Kilda”, Fred Negro who for decades chronicled the Melbourne rock scene in his weekly Pub comic strip.
Featuring a line-up of local music legends including Tim Rogers (You Am I), Greg Macainsh (Skyhooks), Paul Stewart (Painters and Dockers), PUB: THE MOVIE is a film as loud and delightfully irreverent as its subject.
PUB: THE MOVIE also features interviews with Bec Anthony (Kooky Karaoke co-compere, Little Freddie And The Pops), Lush Aston (The Twits, cartoonist), Joey Bedlam (Doll Squad), Mark Carson (I Spit On Your Gravy), Sam Crassweller (I Spit On Your Gravy), John Durr (The Editions), Paul Elliott (Gong Show, Gravies manager), Paul Fraser (artist, PUB collaborator), Vivienne Gay (The Hanks), Graham Hood (The Johnnys), Kaos (The Fuck Fucks), Ross Knight (Cosmic Psychos), Fiona Leonard (The Gong Show), Steve Lucas (X), Fiona Lee Maynard (Have A Nice Day, Dalicados), Phil “Pog” Miles (I Spit On Your Gravy, The Gravybilllys, The Band Who Shot Liberty Valance), Dave Moll (Shonkytonk, The Fuck Fucks, Black Molls), Dez Negro (Fred’s brother), Millie Negro (Fred’s daughter), Ross Negro (Fred’s brother), Elizabeth Reale (The Peptides, Piranhas In Love co-author), Matt Ryan (Munster Times, The Fierce Urgency Of Now), Sindy Virtue Van Eede (I Spit On Your Gravy), Melynda Von Wayward curator, punk historian), Clinton Walker (rock journalist and historian) and more.
