7 Inch Cinema 5th birthday party
Gigs // Steve // 2nd July 2008
Juneau Projects, banging on about squirrels
To the Rainbow in Digbeth for 7 Inch Cinema’s five year birthday bash, animation and film shorts and music and cake, and got there just as Telly Savalas Looks At Birmingham finished up - luckily I can watch the rest over at Birmingham’s Not Shit.
VJ Hooker/FilmFicciones was really good fun as ever, pulling out some daft shorts including Jim Henson’s ace “Time Piece”, unfortunately stripped off YouTube by boring bastards, but this is kind-of related:
Mike in Mono popped up, unfortunately no playing live this time round, so we couldn’t go nuts to his version of “Male Stripper” like we wanted, but instead he battered everyone’s eardrums with some of his ZX Spectrum generated videos: here’s “Red Square”, utterly brutal when played through a massive PA:
Mike had also done a new soundtrack for Norman Mclaren's "Neighbours" animation short from 1952- here's the original on YouTube, stick with it kids, it really is extremely violent.
And we finished up with Juneau Projects, two men wielding strap-on woodland creatures fashioned into guitar triggers for their indie-ish electronics. Not my thing, but their art stuff looks more entertaining.
Oh and happy birthday 7 inch...
