Pixies loudQUIETloud DVD Release and Free Screenings...In Your Town?
Hi, Shan here. I'm stepping down tonight from my ivory tower to speak to you from the heart, because I heart the Pixies. Before seeing loudQUIETloud, my love was mainly one of reverent worship, perhaps like your own love of your personal God. You might say the Pixies were my personal Gods. In fact, I swore never to see them on their reunion tour in 2004 because I just couldn't look my Gods in the eyes after so many years had passed. It would have been too painful.
Luckily, Steven Cantor and Matthew Galkin followed them around on that tour, and after seeing their chronicle I not only worship the Pixies but, perhaps more importantly, I respect them. loudQUIETloud is unlike any music documentary you have ever seen. The volatile rise and fall of the Pixies is of such grand proportions that it reads like the Old Testament of college rock. Yet, this New Testament is so profound not because it builds on the Pixies' legend but because it dismantles it piece by painstaking piece and then puts it back together in ways you'd never expect. If Ang Lee made a rockumentary, loudQUIETloud is what it would look like.
And all of these are reasons why you should take the opportunity to see a free (or really cheap) screening of it, courtesy of MVD Entertainment Group and Stick Figure Productions. And if it isn't in your town, go out and buy the DVD (out today on MVD) or add it to your NetFlix queue. Heck, even if you see the movie for free you're going to want to buy the DVD anyway. Check the dates below and for more information visit the MVD and loudQUIETloud websites. (And scroll to the bottom of the entry for the movie's track listing!)
