SCREEN SECT: BARFLY(Barbet Schroeder, 1987)
Charles Bukowski scripted this semi-autobiographical story of a drunken writer (Mickey Rourke in one of his last great roles before his recent renaissance) who finds love (with fellow lush Fay Dunaway), and is given a shot at literary fame. Atmospheric, amusing and surprisingly upbeat.

Now, on the eve of its release, the band are set to hit the road, launching the album across the country with support at the East from friends is Papa Vs Pretty.
