“An almost unclassifiable oddity-a punk-road move-western-ghost story.” —Moria Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Film Review
Join us at 7:00 pm on Wednesday, September 6 for a free screening of the film Dudes at Gramps, located at 176 NW 24th St, Miami, FL 33127. RSVP here
Urban angst meets the Wild West when three NYC punks (Jon Cryer of Pretty in Pink, Daniel Roebuck of River's Edge, and Flea of Suburbia and the Red Hot Chili Peppers) on a road trip to California cross paths with a vicious gang and their psycho leader (Lee Ving, Streets of Fire and Fear). Aided by a pistol-packin' knockout (Catherine Mary Stewart, Night of the Comet) and a daredevil Elvis Presley impersonator, they relentlessly pursue the gang to an epic final showdown. Directed by critically acclaimed filmmaker Penelope Spheeris (The Decline of Western Civilization, Suburbia, Wayne's World), Dudes blasts a killer soundtrack featuring The Vandals, The Little Kings, Keel, Jane's Addiction and Steve Vai.
