Burn the Script
wsg/ Andrew Kuchon & Friends
Saturday, July 26th

If you are a fan of music –be it rock n’ roll, folk, jazz, hip hop, hardcore, or anything in between- then you are going to want to be at CAID on Saturday, July 26th. The Contemporary Art Institute of Detroit has been innovative in the past in the way that they’ve delivered culture, art and music to our community, and this event is sure to be nothing short of just that: innovative. This multi-genre show features an up-and-coming hardcore group from Pontiac, MI called, Burn the Script, who -in the short while they’ve been together- has developed a sound that can adequately be described in one simple word: powerful. These kids are serious musicians on a mission to influence the world through the wonderful sounds of their screaming guitars, pounding double-bass pedals and a main vocal that will make you wish you would’ve learned how to scream, the right way. Before them, however, Andrew Kuchon is set to deliver a semi-acoustic performance, which is basically the combination of his love affair with digital music and his acoustic guitar and voice. Andrew derives a lot of his inspiration from older rock bands like the Velvet Underground, the Beatles, etc. and modern hip hop giants like Nas, Big L, Eminem, Canibus, etc. His voice has a wide range of expressions and nuances and his lyrics are deep enough to make you think about things when you otherwise might not look at it that way.

Barbecued Movie Night @ CAID

Features:

9PM - BBQ and Rock 'N' Rummage set-up all night.

10PM - Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
"Varla (Tura Satana), Billie (Lori Williams), and Rosie (Haji) are three fed-up go-go dancers who drive out into the California desert to let off some steam. When they encounter squeaky clean couple Tommy (Ray Barlow) and Linda (Sue Bernard), also out for a desert joyride, the girls' invitation to drag race turns ugly. After a fistfight, Varla leaves Tommy for dead and kidnaps Linda. The three dangerous beauties then catch word of a feeble old man (Stuart Lancaster) out in the desert who is reportedly sitting on a large amount of money, and they set out to beat it out of him and his two sons. FASTER, PUSSYCAT!, though made for the raincoat crowd in the mid-1960s, has since transcended its humble origins to become a beloved cult classic. While treading territory similar to MOTORPSYCHO, director Russ Meyer's previous film, PUSSYCAT! turns the convention on its ear with what is possibly the toughest (and most glamorous) trio of femme fatales ever to hit the screen. As Varla, the iconic Satana creates a character who appears to literally fear nothing. While not Meyer's most financially successful film, it's most likely the one (along with 1970's BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS) that he will be remembered for." - Rotten Tomatoes
