RENDEZVOUS! with Leenda Karina & Todd Gilchrist TONIGHT!!

Join us tonight, Friday, August 9th, as we welcome the return of our long-time friend and supporter Leenda Karina! We are also excited to welcome our NEW pal Todd Gilchrist! With a glowing recommendation from Death Waltz Recording Company's Spencer Hickman, you know this guy's gonna bring some heat (horror disco, he tells us!). 

Also, you may have noticed that we are opening at 8. This is because beginning with this session, we will be screening a film in its entirety BEFORE the DJs hit the decks! That's right, join us early, watch a flick, have some beers, and stick around for the tunes! Of course, we will still be screening films with subtitles in the background once the music begins. For our debut screening, we'll be showing the Bava giallo classic (some say, the one that one that started them all) 'Blood and Black Lace' !

RENDEZVOUS! Visits The Heru Avenger Archives, Part 3

On the 24th of February 2013, AM (A.K.A. George Ben Sun) and I returned to sunny Orange County, CA to pay a visit to our dear friend, and fellow obsessive, John Basil. It was a fun filled day of record and VHS tape browsing, electronics discussing, concert footage viewing, Mexican food eating, and all-out general awing! We always enjoy our time at the "archives" and look forward to our next visit. Click on the photos to enlarge.
