Fugs Film w Ed Sanders & Chuck Smith in attendance
THU 25 JUN
Coming Soon to
Tinker Street Cinema
The big Catskills premiere with director Chuck Smith and the Fug himself Ed Sanders!
The Fugs were anarchic beat poets in the East Village who took folk instruments they could sort of play and didn’t give a damn. Their music was so anti-establishment, though, that it didn’t matter. The Fugs lo-fi folk could be challenging and weird but they had a knack for catchy pop songs too like ‘Supergirl’ and ‘Slum Goddess.” Formed by Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg, alongside drummer Ken Weaver in late 1964, they are credited as the first true underground band, featuring a revolving door of musicians. Chuck Smith’s vital documentary features trippy archival footage and interviews with Sanders, Aline & R. Crumb, Lenny Kaye, Penny Arcade, Jeffrey Lewis and more combine to tell the story of NYC’s original punks.
“Before there was punk, there were the Fugs: antagonistic, hilarious, and radically political to the bone.” —Pitchfork
