RTP-area local music and culture

["matt hedt" <mfhedt AT REMOVEmindspring.com>]

In case you didn't want to read about the films, here's the summary of the
music:

Sharkquest scored "Monster Road" - an amazing score to an amazing
documentary about claymation wizard Bruce Bickford (did all of Zappa's
claymation projects, but never really puts out his wealth of other works).
Artscenter Double Feature, Thursday Apr. 22.

Dead Moon - the subject of "Unknown Passage: the Dead Moon Story" feature
documentary by expat Jason Summers and Kate Fix. Fred and Toody of Dead Moon
are pushing 60 and still pump out mono records, tour incessantly in their
beat up van with their crazy drummer Andrew, and rock and inspire their
somewhat rabid fans.

Fan Modine plays at the Afterparty at the Cave, Thursday night around
midnight. Fan Modine is Gordon Zacharias with Ash Bowie, Jeremy Chatelain,
Chuck Johnson, and Lee Waters. Some of the bands they come from: Polvo,
Libraness, Jets to Brazil, Cub Country, Shark Quest, IdyllSwords, Spatula,
Work Clothes, Lud, etc., etc.

The Bad Checks (!) play the Cradle Saturday night around 10:30, after the
movies. We'll pull the seats so a lot more people can come in then, so don't
fret if you can't get into the short film block (our most favorite block).
