New Wave Theatre Friday, January 29, 2010
Cinefamily fires up the time machine once again for a return trip to late-night cable TV circa 1981. That's when USA Network first aired the wee-hour weekend trip known as Night Flight, an oddball bonanza of new wave videos, cult films, and underground animation. Night Flight Presents: A Tribute To New Wave Theatre salutes the show-within-the-show known as "New Wave Theater," an absurd amalgam of host Peter Ivers' stream-of-consciousness monologues and punk performances by the likes of the Circle Jerks, Fear, 45 Grave, Suburban Lawns (Sue Tissue, where are you?) and other SoCal alt-stars. Cinefamily, 611 N. Fairfax Ave., L.A.; Thurs., Feb. 4, 8 p.m.; $12. (323) 655-2510. (Originally published in L.A. Weekly, January 29, 2010.)
