The Seeds: Pushin' Too Hard rock documentary showing at the Grand Annex!
Rockumentary, Pushin' Too Hard, traces original 1960s garage band, The Seeds. Labeled by New York Times as a "must see"!
From Hollywood to Brooklyn, Toronto to Albuquerque, Pushin’ Too Hard, the acclaimed rock-doc tracing the incredible rags-to-riches-to rags trajectory of 60s garage avatars The Seeds, has been enlightening and entertaining audiences at screenings across the nation. The saga of Sky Saxon and the Seeds is one of the more bizarre entries in the lexicon of rock; this movie traces a path from cutting-edge underground quartet to psychedelic emissaries who became the victims of their own flower-powered success. Using rare vintage footage, stills and ephemera to spin the tale, luminaries such as Iggy Pop, Beach Boy Bruce Johnston, the Bangles and members of the original Seeds themselves weigh in with pungent observations upon the hugely influential quartet with the minimalist style that continues to strike a resonant chord. Pushin’ Too Hard gives you the who, what, why and wherefore of the Seeds in a jam-packed 100 minutes that the New Times labeled a “must see.”
Award winning Director Neil Norman, Producer Alec Palao and original band member Daryl Hooper will be delighting the audience with a Q&A after the screening.
