Venice, FREE, Chicano Rock 'n' Roll Film Night, Wednesday, Sept. 20, 7 p.m.
Here's a good reason to get out to Venice Beach in time to watch the sun set
on summer; we're throwing a Chicano Rock 'n' Roll Film Night at Sponto
Gallery, beginning at 7 p.m. We'll show super-rare clips of Thee Midniters, Cannibal
& the Headhunters and Ritchie Valens, screen 20 minutes of a work-in-progress
documentary on the East L.A. groups by Jon Wilkman, have a Q&A with Little
Wille G. and Jimmy Espinoza of Thee Midniters (Norton Records has just released
a Garage compilation on the group called IN THEE MIDNITE HOUR!!!). To end the
night, there will be a very cool movie shot in Bunker Hill, 1952, called THE
RING. The film is rare for that period in that it features a mostly Chicano
cast (Rita Moreno stars). Ruben Guevara (Ruben & the Jets) will start the night
off with a poem.
Sponto Gallery is at 7 Dudley Street in Venice, California. Come between 6
and 7, it'll be a lively, action-packed evening. For more information call
Sponto @ (310) 306-7330
