SCREEN SECT: JOHNNY SUEDE (Tom DiCillo, 1992)
DiCillo’s first feature was also Brad Pitt’s first starring role, in which he plays an aspiring rockabilly musician with an outsize quiff, who idolises Ricky Nelson. A strange, anachronistic Lynchian comedy, which also stars the wonderfully talented Catherine Keener and features a cameo performance by Nick Cave, as the Jim Jarmusch look-alike fictional albino rock icon Freak Storm. Weird fun.
Doors 7.30pm

MIUC
Percussionist Will Guthrie and guitarist Ren Walters to provide regular performance opportunities for experimental improvisers at a time when such opportunities didn’t really exist with any stability in Melbourne founded The Make It Up Club in 1998. Since then, the MIUC has grown into the longest running program of its type in Australia, presenting a weekly series of challenging and adventurous freely-improvised music and sound performance. Hosted every Tuesday night throughout the year at Bar Open, the MIUC aims to present and promote the most daring and innovative improvised music from across Australia and around the globe, and to foster and cultivate Melbourne’s vibrant community of performers and listeners dedicated to one of the most rewarding art-forms in existence.
