MOVIE CLUB – “THRESHER”
A SPILL EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE
It’s been a busy fifth year for the band Movie Club. After headlining a national tour, this Venice Beach psych rock duo is gearing up for an August Monday night residency at Hollywood rock venue Harvard & Stone. Movie Club is releasing “Thresher” – on August 7th in order to announce the residency and to reveal their forthcoming sophomore LP Great White cover art featuring shark jaws and their rainbow all-inclusive hibiscus flower logo. Great White comes out this fall.
Although drummer Jessamyn Violet and guitarist Vince Cuneo are a power duo, Movie Club believes in the true power of collaboration. They always feature instrumentalists on recordings in order to expand the musical conversation. “Thresher” features the driving bass line of Tim Lefebvre (David Bowie) and the sonic saxophone of David Ralicke (Ozomatli). The depth and adventure that collaborating with these legends adds inspires Movie Club to extend it past recording into live shows.
For their residency, Movie Club is excited to showcase talented artists and voices with live collaborations with performers and creatives of many genres. The group has invited notable instrumentalists, burlesque dancers, magicians, singers and more. Drummer Jessamyn Violet is also a published author and has curated her favorite local rock ‘n’ roll writers to perform spoken word over the duo’s music. They have done this kind of “Variety Show” show structure before in New York City, and can’t wait to do it in their hometown this summer. “Bringing our music to new fans was truly inspiring,” says Cuneo. “We are thrilled to have a chance to collaborate with local LA artists and then focus on the album release this fall.”
