VJ D'Elia Raids the Video Vault
Friday, April 10th
$4 / $2 (members)

Long ago the coolest unsigned bands were cutting their first music videos here at 911. Then IT happened, the big boom, the sub-pop, the great all mighty (dare we say) grunge. Well, the smoke has cleared and we have unleashed our resident video-phile Gregory D'Elia to dust off the archive and mix up a musical mosh of video performances. VJ D'Elia stage dives deep into the collection and surfaces with: Soundgarden, Sugar, Sir-Mix-A-Lot, Mudhoney, The Walkabouts, Tad, and more. Also, he'll show a rare documentary, Speedracer: Welcome to the world of Vic Chestnutt and live footage from a recent show with The Crust Brothers, Harvey Danger and Minus 5.
