Free Movie Night: “New Garage Explosion” | Embarcadero Center

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Attend a special free screening of New Garage Explosion: In Love With These Times, a rockumentary about one of the most exciting subgenres—garage rock.

After a brief nod to garage’s humble beginnings amongst American youth in Detroit during the 1960s and its contribution and influence on ’80s punk, the documentary focuses on the scintillating present.

The camera profiles artists like the late Jay Reatard, Black Lips, The Dirtbombs, Thee Oh Sees, Smith Westerns, Vivian Girls and many more in an attempt to understand not only the exponential ascent of garage rock’s popularity but the reason these people feel so passionately about it.
