2019 BUFF Day 2

Green’s Party is proud to be covering the 2019 Boston Underground Film Festival, which is now in its 21st year and kicked off Wed.

The fun continued on Thursday afternoon with the New England Premiere of Poland’s Werewolf. I wasn’t able to make it to the Brattle by 5:30, but I heard from a few folks it was really good.    

Jim and Dannie of Wax Trax! Records

I made it to the Brattle just in time for the Boston Premiere of the documentary Industrial Accident: The Story of Wax Trax! Records, a doc I’ve been wanting to seeing since it began its festival run last year. It traces Jim Nash and Dannie Flesher, who opened the Wax Trax record shop in Denver, CO in the 70s catering to their love of glam rock. They, soon, moved to Chicago, IL and opened the store there at the exact moment that new wave was starting. The store evolved into an indie record label specializing in industrial music with bands like Ministry and Front 242. This is a music documentary that is almost 2-subgenres combined into 1: the record store doc and the music label doc. Among the featured talking head interviews included here are Jello Biafra, Dave Grohl and Trent Reznor. At times it spent a little more time on the bands than it was the overall label, but I have to say, what set this apart from a lot of music docs was the family at the heart of it. The director Julia Nash is the daughter of the late Jim Nash and she (as well as her brother and mother) are featured interviewees. In the pre-internet era, the fact that these pioneers were bringing new wave, punk and industrial to the masses is revolutionary. A very personal doc for sure!

I had to take off afterwards and I missed Girl on the Third Floor as well as the BUFF party at Brass Union.

 Tonight: some cool shorts packages, including Homegrown Horror Chapter VI: Discomfort Food from New England filmmakers and Dark [Mid]Night of the Soul for some edgy late night viewing. Feature films include Tone-Deaf with Robert Patrick and Ray Wise.

Business card for Denver, CO record store Wax Trax Records, acquired sometime in the mid-1990s.

If you are familiar with the Wax Trax! record label or Chicago store by the same name, this spare, no-nonsense business card might cause you to scratch your head. Yes, the two stores are related. I learned this a few years back when I watched Industrial Accident: The Story of Wax Trax! Records, an excellent documentary on their evolution from small Denver record store to hugely influential record label and Chicago store.

Even as the Wax Trax! founders picked up and moved to Chicago in 1978 to build their industrial empire, the Denver store kept chugging under two new owners. And so I came to acquire this business card sometime in the mid-nineties, almost certainly at a WFMU Record Fair, as I’ve never been to Denver. Though if I ever do visit, I’d want to stop by their store, still standing and stocking independent releases new and used.

Industrial Accident: The Story of Wax Trax! Records is now available on iTunes.

This WaxTrax “BlackBox” project (which comes deep from our archives) is another of the historic Chicago industrial music scene, done for the label in 1992, just prior to Jim Nash passing away from Aids. It is one of the recaps we discussed on the NEWHD series (which will go live soon) about the music industry by Spencer Drate, Zach Martin and Patrick Bambaruk, and includes the likes of Roger Dean, Lawrence Azerrad, Emek Artman and Rob O’Connor to name a few.

The very first release was in fact a single disc, with nine tracks, which included Revolting Cocks, KMFDM, Sister Machine Gun, 1000 Homo DJs, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, Meat Beat Manifesto, Coil, Lead Into Gold and The KLF. The reason most people do not know about is because it was initially intended NOT FOR SALE - but of course, it got out. It was produced for promoting the two upcoming slipcase boxsets and the very limited edition metal boxset with the net.

The large set included 3 CDs, a poster, a book, boxset tags, coasters, stickers, patches and came with Volumes 1 and 2 of the VHS series. While working on the project, we were told that the raw tape pieces all these items sit in included “outtakes” of recordings.

WaxTrax Records was founded by Jim Nash and Dannie Flesher in 1978 in Chicago.

A documentary called “Industrial Accident” tells the WaxTrax story here…

Preview: 2019 Boston Underground Film Festival

From Wed. March 20 to Sun. March 24, the Boston Underground Film Festival takes over Cambridge, MA at both The Brattle and Harvard Film Archives (both in Harvard Square). The fest is now in its 21st year and it is a celebration of bizarre, weird and alt cinema!

Amen! Here at Green’s Party, I’ve been lucky enough to cover the festival since 2016. Here are some of the highlights I’m looking forward to at this year’s fest!

Wed. March 20:

Opening Night film is the documentary Hail Satan? directed by Penny Lane. Her doc Nuts! was one of my 10 Best Documentaries of 2016. This doc, about a Satanic activist group, has been creating a buzz since its Sundance Premiere. Thrilled this will play Boston before Magnolia releases it in April! Afterwards there’s the MA Premiere of local filmmakers Michael J. Epstein & Sophia Cacciola’s vlogger comedy Clickbait. There is also the Hail Satan? Opening Night Party at Hong Kong Restaurant (Cambridge)!

Thurs. March 21:

Thurs. sees the Boston Premiere of Industrial Accident: The Story of Wax Trax! Records, about the 90s industrial music label. I’ve been wanting to see this since it began its festival run last year. Then there will be a BUFF party Brother Cleve Spins Wax Trax at Brass Union (Somerville).

Fri. March 22:

New England has always had a long history with the horror genre and the Homegrown Horror Chapter VI: Discomfort Food program is filled with tons of horror shorts from New England filmmakers, including my friend Andrea Wolanin’s From Within. The East Coast Premiere of Tone-Deaf will definitely bring a packed audience. It stars the great Robert Patrick! After hours is the Dark [Mid]Night of the Soul shorts program, which includes Gwilliam’s Tips for Turning Tricks into Treats from my friend Brian Lonano (check out my interview with him at last year’s BUFF). Also Friday night is BUFF’s Bacchus’ Birthday Bash at Pink Noise Studios (Somerville).

Sat. March 23:

The one kid-friendly portion of BUFF happens at 10AM with the Saturday Morning All-You-Can-Eat-Cereal Cartoon Party with loads of cartoons, PSA and commercials from the 1960s-90s accompanied by a cereal buffet. Always a fun time! I love that music videos get a showcase from BUFF with Sound + Vision, this year there’s music videos from Gaz Coombes of Supergrass, LCD Soundsystem (directed by Rian Johnson), and the Chemical Brothers among others! Late Saturday night is the annual Secret Screening, where no one knows what the movie is until it begins, you’re just trusting the festival programmers, but that’s the fun of it! Also Sat. night is BUFF’s Tasty Karaoke Melt(down) at Tasty Burger (Cambridge).

Sun. March 24:

The MA Premiere of South Africa’s Canary takes place in 1985 against the backdrop of apartheid while a young military recruit finds himself. I’m intrigued by the main character’s new wave obsession. Sunday night will be BUFF’s Closing Night Awards and Concert featuring a mystery musician at Lilypad (Cambridge).

Stay tuned to Green’s Party for my coverage of this year’s fest!

#Repost @revolvermag with @get_repost ・・・ @weareministry are in the midst of a brief tour with @coldcave23 celebrating the new documentary ‘Industrial Accident: The Story of Wax Trax!’ On April 15th, they swung through Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg where Al Jourgensen and cohorts blasted through a set entirely comprised of classic material from the Eighties and Nineties, including Ministry’s “Stigmata,” “Thieves,” “Burning Inside” “Just One Fix,” “(Everyday is) Halloween,” Revolting Cocks’ “No Devotion,” 1000 Homo DJs’ “Supernaut” cover and more. It was a thrilling blast from past for everyone there, even Al, it seemed. “That was actually kinda fun,” he said, after playing “Jesus Built My Hotrod.” 📸 @jolenesiana #ministry #waxtraxdocumentary #industrialaccident #industrialmusic (at Music Hall of Williamsburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwX10hlFkg3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jpkocbny122s
