USA OR BUST! (Part 1 of ' Meal Tickets')

15 February 2012

Time:
630pm

Warning – Contains Sex, Drugs & Rock’n‘Roll

In 2005, ex-Libertines manager, Dave Kavanagh, took Perth band, “The Screwtop Detonators”, on a 30-day tour across the United States of America. His mission: Turn them into rock stars. This screening is an 80 minute edit of that tour that saw relationships tested, ambitions tempered and abused roadies seek the ultimate revenge.

Director / Producer, Mat de Koning, who was recently awarded the Bendigo Bank – Young Filmmaker of the year at the 24th WA Screen Awards, is hosting this special screening, which gives audiences the opportunity to experience what de Koning describes as; “The closest you will ever get to going on a rock’n’roll tour, without actually being there”

de Koning went on to say of the project,
“These guys are my best friends and because of this relationship, I believe I’ve captured the journey in an unprecedented way. Ultimately this tour will be cut down to less then 30 minutes in the final “Meal Tickets” documentary. This 80 min edit is for the audiences who want the maximum rock’n‘roll experience’!

Admission $15 *Gates open: 6:30pm – Screening starts: 7:30pm *
