Super-8 Blaxploitation Movie Madness at Subversion this Friday Night!

Attention all you Jive-ass Cornpone Peckerwoods!….Blood Kwanzaa is this Friday night!

Gabriel “Skuzzy” Zolman is a St. Louis promoter, DJ, writer, performance artist, and movie nut who produces and hosts a monthly show at the downtown nightclub The Crack Fox. He calls his show Subversion and describes it as a “post-industrial variety show”. Subversion features music, magic, comedy, burlesque dancers, and more and every month he has a different theme. One month the theme was Ed Wood and he recreated, on stage, some dance numbers from ORGY OF THE DEAD. He once dove into a box of hypodermic needles to recreate a scene from SAW 2. Needless to say, Mr. Zolman is devoted to his art (or just nuts)!

This Friday (December 9th) the Subversion show is called Blood Kwanzaa and it’s got a Blaxploitation theme! Of course you can’t have a Blaxploitation-themed show without Pam Grier so I’ll be teaming up with the Subversion crew and opening the show with some Super-8 Blaxploitation Movie Madness! I’ll be showing 18-minute condensed versions, on super-8 sound film, of COFFY, SHAFT, and THE KLANSMAN! The first two are urban classics and the third features a young O.J. Simpson murdering white folks almost twenty years before he did so in real life!!

From the Facebook invite:

“Subversion pimps out Christmas like Mrs. Claus during the off-season! We officially cross the line this time, but as always with style! Tons of guest performances (including jive turkeys like FOXY LA FEELION and PARIS VERSACE AMOR!) and outrageous antics (A HUMAN SOUL FOOD BUFFET?!?! ….BURLESQUE, FIRE, DRAG, POLE, and more! It’s a blaxploitation celebration unto utmost damnation! Sweet Dolemite have mercy! Music by SHADOW THIEVES, with an exclusive bootyhouse set by GGJIM! “No, Ike–that’s my good eye!”
There will also be a pervy Ghetto Santa dispensing cheap-ass gifts, zombie elfs, and…probably a lot of stuff that will get us in trouble. You won’t want to miss it!”

The show is this Friday, December 9th. The Crack Fox is located at 1114 Olive (at Tucker) in Downtown St. Louis. Cover charge is $7. The show starts with an hour of Super-8′s at 9pm
