The King of Fuzz Tonight!
Just a quick reminder: Biker/surf maestro Davie Allan and his Arrows will be at the Alamo Drafthouse at the Ritz tonight, Feb. 20, at 9pm (see our own Margaret Moser's interview with the king of fuzz.) They'll be playing live before a screening of biker movie Devil's Angels, a film so obscure Quentin Tarantino has only ever screened a trailer for it at a QT Fest.
Don't let the Christmas albums fool yah: This is the man behind the fuzz on the soundtrack for Roger Corman's Hell's Angels-baiting The Wild Angels (the "social organization" was so incensed at Corman's portrayal of them as a biker gang they swore revenge – by suing him for $1 million for defamation.)
But let's not forget tonight's feature, starring John Cassavetes in the same year as his Oscar-nominated supporting role in The Dirty Dozen. It's also the only (and rarely seen) biker movie directed by Daniel Haller, who spent most of the '70s and '80s working on every TV drama from O'Hara, U.S. Treasury to Airwolf. But he will always be remembered as the director who brought not one, but two H.P. Lovecraft stories to the screen: 1965's Die, Monster, Die! (aka The Color out of Space) and 1970's The Dunwich Horror.
