Austin Film Festival Presents… Public Enemy: Welcome to the Terrordome - Alamo Drafthouse Lakecreek - May 29, 2008

From the crazy Memorial Day camping department... Thanks to Kristen for the heads up! Austin Film Festival Presents… Public Enemy: Welcome to the Terrordome @ Alamo Drafthouse Lakecreek on May 29th for one night only!

-----

So did some primitive camping this Memorial Day for my buddy's bachelor party, don't ask, that's what he wanted. No strippers and panties flying, it was 5 guys and a hole in the ground with a toilet seat on a wooden square frame! Brokeback baby!

Public Enemy's 20 year career has had a monumental impact on the music world. Robert Patton-Spruill's WELCOME TO THE TERRORDOME chronicles their legacy, their history and what icons of the music world say about their influence.

Two decades later, the most controversial rap group of the 80's is all grown up...and still touring. Their ability to weave serious messages of activism and societal ills into completely accessible songs revolutionized rap and hip-hop. Artists such as the Beastie Boys, Tom Morello (Audioslave, Rage Against The Machine), Henry Rollins, Talib Kweli and Jonathan Davis of Korn reflect on the group's power. With live concert footage from near and far--Moscow, Rio, Italy, Spain, the UK and finally Austin, Texas--Public Enemy demonstrates they still have the power to get the crowd on their feet with insanely infectious music and relentless beats. With an album of new material out this year, Public Enemy is ready to terrorize your town. So raise your fist in the air and don't miss this historic, must-see music documentary.

"Public Enemy: Welcome to the Terrordome" is among the best of its kind -- intimate, powerful, politically astute and absorbing. One needn't be a PE fan or even a rap fan to find something enthralling in this definitive portrait of a group and an era that changed the face of popular music. – Variety
