Bar OPen Gig Guide

Monday 7th June
SCREEN SECT: Easy Rider (Dennis Hopper, 1973)
As the film world mourns the passing of the one-of-a-kind renegade actor/director Hopper, we present, in tribute, his iconic debut masterwork, a psychedelic road movie which underscored the dark, doomed side of the Hippy dream as it ushered in a new era of independent filmmaking. Stars Peter Fonda, Hopper and Jack Nicholson.
Doors 7.30pm

Tuesday 8th June

Bar Open Gig Guide April-May

Monday 19th April
SCREEN SECT: Gun Crazy (Joseph H. Lewis, 1949)
Brilliant, subversively sexy story of two gun-obsessives who fall in love and embark on a robbery and murder spree (naturally). Far superior to Arthur Penn’s 1968 Bonnie & Clyde, this B-movie transcends its low budget to deliver an intense, often surreal portrait of deadly amour.
Doors 7.30pm

Bar Open Gig Guide

Monday 8 th February
SCREEN SECT: American Movie (Chris Smith, 1999)
A strangely inspirational documentary, this follows the at-times comedic misadventures of manically driven Milwaukee film-maker Mark Borchardt, as he struggles against bad planning, financial hardship and an amateur cast and crew, to complete his independent horror film ‘Coven’. A must-see.
Doors 7.30pm

OCCULT BLOOD
BREATHING SHRINE
On Wednesday the 10th of February, Bar Open hosts a night of crushing, psychedelic, noise-rock featuring the highly anticipated return of Firewitch. After many a moon in hibernation, they will be performing a special set, switching between classic Firewitch motifs and material from their latest incarnation as Inappropriate Tough Guy Behaviour. Support comes from the free-form phych duo Breathing Shrine, neanderthalic noise-core sect Occult Blood, plus a special appearance by mystery act from the land of the rising sun. Don’t miss this rare program of monolithic sonic disorder.
