PENS are three teenage girls and a £1 microphone. They have short attention spans and songs about horror movies. Tonight they will play out over the TRACEY FRAGMENTS credits to prepare us for the sonic onslaught of Tracey Remixed with Youthmovies.
YOUTH MOVIE SOUNDTRACK STRATEGIES presents TRACEY REMIXED by BUZZARD BUZZARD
The multi-framed editing and jump cut style of THE TRACEY FRAGMENTS gets remixed by VJ Buzzard Buzzard, and live soundtracked by Youthmovies, the Oxford-based band who've reigned in, refined and forced into a pop-shaped hole their epic soundscapes and prog-influenced songs.
HEAVY METAL IN BAGHDAD (Leeds 21/8, Reading 22/8) is an internationally acclaimed feature film documentary that follows the Iraqi heavy metal band Acrassicauda from the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003 to the present day. Playing heavy metal in a Muslim country has always been a difficult (if not impossible) proposition but after Saddam's regime was toppled, there was a brief moment for the band in which real freedom seemed possible. That hope was quickly dashed as their country fell into a bloody insurgency. From 2003-2006, Iraq disintegrated around them while Acrassicauda struggled to stay together and stay alive, always refusing to let their heavy metal dreams die. Their story echoes the unspoken hopes of an entire generation of young Iraqis.
