Since this season of True Detective is obviously the greatest thing to ever air on cable television, we are having a big ol' she-bang for the season finale!
First up is Yours Truly, Michele which features former member of Sympathy for the Record Industry band The Kirby Grips, Michele Kappel-Stone doing an intimate solo set. Be sure to get there early and give Michele some love! http://michelekappelstone.com/
After Michele is the season two finale of True Detective. Well, last week was a little bit better since at least SOMETHING happened. I guess no matter what, after Sunday this season will be over. Bye forever!
Next up, Fond Object is very proud to present our dear friend Julie Christensen and her band Stone Cupid! We are very excited to have Julie and her band play a few songs for you in between True Detective and our main feature of the night, BORDER RADIO!
Julie Christensen is an American singer, born in Iowa and currently resides right here in East Nashville!. She has worked with musicians including Leonard Cohen, Todd Rundgren, Robben Ford, Iggy Pop, Public Image Limited, Van Dyke Parks, John Doe, Exene Cervenka, Steve Wynn and k.d. lang.
From 1983 to 1987 Christensen was a member of The Divine Horsemen with her former husband Chris D who is also the star of tonight's feature, BORDER RADIO! http://www.stonecupid.com/
Finally, after Julie C and Stone Cupid leave the stage, we will be showing Allison Anders, Dean Lent and Kurt Voss' indie classic, BORDER RADIO!
Before carving out a niche as one of nineties’ American cinema’s most distinct voices, Allison Anders made her debut, alongside co-directors and fellow UCLA film-school students, Kurt Voss and Dean Lent, with 1987’s Border Radio. A low-key, semi-improvised post-punk diary that took four years to complete, Border Radio features legendary rocker Chris D., of the Flesh Eaters and The Divine Horsemen, as a singer/songwriter who has stolen loot from a club and gone missing, leaving his wife (Luanna Anders), a no-nonsense rock journalist, to track him down with the help of his friends (John Doe of the band X; Chris Shearer).
Dave Alvin created an eclectic and memorable score for the film (now out of print, sadly), with players culled from friends and colleagues from X, Los Lobos, The Blasters and other local heroes.
We got a big night of amazing stuff for y'all, so come early and stay late!
