FUGS FILM!

Formed in late 1964 by Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg, alongside drummer Ken Weaver – anarchic East Village beat poets who could barely play their instruments – The Fugs are credited as the first true underground band. Their lo-fi folk music could be challenging and weird but they had a knack for catchy pop songs, such as “Supergirl” and ‘Slum Goddess”. One of the most crucial figures in countercultural history, Sanders founded the Peace Eye bookstore and the arts journal “F*** You: A Magazine of the Arts”, and, among other late-1960s antics, attempted to levitate the Pentagon and staged a funeral for flower power in San Francisco. Chuck Smith’s vital documentary features eye-popping archival footage and interviews with Sanders, Aline & R. Crumb, Lenny Kaye, Penny Arcade, Jeffrey Lewis, and many others, to tell the story of NYC’s original punks.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Penny Arcade, Steven Taylor and other participants from the film!
