Description: Win tickets to the show
Afropunk is a 75 minute critically acclaimed film documenting aspects of the African-American experience in the punk and hardcore music scene. The movie includes footage of Matt Davis's band Ten Grand as well as interviews with Matt and many others. This is a rare and wonderful opportunity for Lawrence and area residents to witness, through the vision of a creative film maker, a tier of our social landscape that is often side-stepped or ignored all together. In addition to the screening, there will be a show immediately afterwards featuring the music of Matt's younger brother's band Ricky Fitts, as well as Volara and The Appleseed Cast.
Director James Spooner will be in attendance ... read his bio here
