“Not your typical punk act” -SPIN Magazine

An unprecedented fusion of one of today’s best live punk acts with real time performance media, Addicted To Bad Ideas is a furious song cycle dedicated to 20th century movie star, archetype of alienation, Peter Lorre. It is a multi-media spectacle that tracks Lorre’s enigmatic existence from formative days alongside Wedekind and Brecht to a pitiless fall from grace in drug-infused Hollywood. Led by punk rock legend Jack Terricloth, Addicted To Bad Ideas paints a picture of the twentieth century from the outsider’s view recreating key motion picture sequences mixed with live interactive video.

Running Time: 90 minutes, plus full band set to follow!

ONE NIGHT ONLY!  Friday, January 9 at 9:30pm
