Widow's Rock n Rollium X Punka presents AMPED UP Cabaret at Loco Klub.

They are the gods of cinephile hellfire, and they’ll die (again) if they want to! Bowing out after 150 offerings of B-movie obscurity, HFC does the DIY sci-fi double: Sun Ra’s astral emigration jazz odyssey Space is the Place + the rare-screened UFO cult, public-access, past-life improv madness of The Arrival. Come drown your obscure tears in the bar after, with original press giallo soundtracks played on very dirty needles. RIP! HELLFIRE VIDEO CLUB GOES OUT OF THIS WORLD at The Cube.
