Read the City Pages
profile of local-music filmmaker Rick Fuller (his
website) and then head down to the
Riverview Theater tonight, if you're near Minneapolis, to see his
7 Nights in the Entry, a must-watch 1981 punk/new wave documentary featuring early performances by Husker Du, the
Replacements (click for a video sample), Fine Art, the Dads, Things That Fall Down, Hypstrz, the Neglectors, Rusty Jones & the Generals, the Situation, Wilma & The Wilburs, Stagger Lee, and Peer Group. It's screening as part of this week's
Sound Unseen festival (City Pages reviews
here, more
here), which mostly takes place at
the Ritz in Northeast Minneapolis.
Girls Rock!, which screens Saturday afternoon at 3:00 p.m., also looks pretty awesome. Afterparty tonight in the
7th St. Entry honoring "Artists of Distinction" Tony Paul (of KFAI), Dessa (of Doomtree) and Conrad (from First Avenue). See you at the
Sound Unseen Dance Party Saturday! (See also
this post at Complicated Fun, and the MNSpeak
thread.)
