Punk Club Doc THE OUTHOUSE Screening at Schlafly Bottleworks December 6th – ‘Strange Brew’

THE OUTHOUSE screens Wednesday, December 6th at 8pm at Schlafly Bottleworks Restaurant and Bar (7260 Southwest Ave.- at Manchester – Maplewood, MO 63143) as part of Webster University’s Award-Winning Strange Brew Film Series. Admission is $5

The Strange Brew Cult Movie night is excited to announce a Strange Brew first: They will host the St. Louis premiere of the 2017 film THE OUTHOUSE, a documentary focused on the legendary midwest punk club. Hidden away in the cornfields of Lawrence, Kansas, where the pavement turned to gravel, the Outhouse was a small cinder block building where countless influential punk and alternative acts played formative all-ages shows with no rules. The Strange Brew Screening of “The Outhouse” – STL Premiere is one-night only at Schlafly Bottleworks on Wednesday, December 6 at 8pm.

From 1985 to 1997, some of the most influential bands in punk rock played insane shows at The Outhouse, including Fugazi, The Melvins, Rollins Band, Gwar, The Circle Jerks, Body Count, Social Distortion, Bad Brains, White Zombie, Descendents, Sonic Youth, Green Day, Fishbone, The Meat Puppets, Helmet, Nirvana, and St. Louis punk mainstays Ultraman. The documentary features inteviews with promoters and many of the members of groups who played at the infamous club (now a seedy strip joint). It was a raucous scene of misfits and anarchists on the margins of youth culture.
