BOSTON PSYCHEDELIC CINEMA REVISITED.... TEA PARTY LIGHT SHOW FILMS

BOSTON PSYCHEDELIC CINEMA REVISITED which features The Boston Tea Party Light Show Films directed by Ken Brown - 1967-1969 with live music from Chris Butler, Bob Moses, Willie "Loco" Alexander, Ken Winokur, P. Andrew Willis, and DJ Pace at the Coolidge Theater in Brookine.

Ken Winokur (of Alloy Orchestra) is one of my fave percussionists and is a GENERAL in my DRUM ARMY. The light show films are just what i need for even more inspiration, since i am currently editing up some super 8 films (shot by my mom of me in 60s) and some random strobed-out clips and trippy liquid projections wet show dv cam footage and some bent b&w pxl2000 footage, that i have been shooting over the last few years into a projection screen dvd for the OCT 30 - ORGY OF NOISE SHOW. I was using the Fillmore - Avalon Ballroom - Winterland shows as a foundation of criteria. These Tea Party films should add more fuel to that already burning fire. Of course visually and sonically i will continue to delve into new realms of kaos with my creations. The original spark was the cover of the Iron Butterfly In-a-gadda-da-vida album i scored in 1968 when i was twelve. We even got an overhead projector (my dad was a chemistry professor at local college) and did a liquid wet show projection for my band The Electric Onion in 69.

The Electric Onion (1969-70).



UPDATE: I'm back and here's a snap of the happening. Trippy film fun, man. Great sights and sounds, KEN's films were the foundation backdrop for shows at The Boston Tea Party. I assume there would also be slides, wet show overhead projectors along with his films. Tonight's film was about an hour long.
