Description

It's Devo meets GREASE in VOYAGE OF THE ROCK ALIENS, a genre-bending musical mutation from the outer limits of the cosmos (aka 1984). A group of new wave extraterrestrials blast through the galaxy in a guitar-shaped spaceship, searching for the truest form of rock 'n' roll. After witnessing Dee Dee (Pia Zadora, HAIRSPRAY) competing to become the top rocker in the small town of "Speelburgh," the UFO lands on Earth and sets off total mayhem—including Michael Berryman (THE HILLS HAVE EYES) as a chainsaw-wielding psychopath. Combining the electric experimentation of early MTV with the spirits of ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW and STAR WARS, VOYAGE OF THE ROCK ALIENS is a glorious, coked-out spectacle that's guaranteed to make you happy.

 

Tickets are pay-what-you-will with a $5 minimum. All money from ticket sales will go to the Grand Illusion’s relocation fund. Kids 12 and under are free. This movie is rated PG, but it was rated a few months before the PG-13 rating was introduced. If it had been released later, it more than likely would have received a mild PG-13 rating. Check out the parents guide on IMDb for more information.

 

The movie will start at approximately 9:00 pm, but be sure to come early to hang out and get great drinks and good food from the brewery (more info about the day's events to come).

 

"...the songs are delightful. The outfits are all that you could hope for, and the slightly ramshackle quality just makes the film all the more endearing. A future midnight-movie classic." Jason Shawhan, Nashville Scene

 

"A jaw-dropping and wildly entertaining time capsule on every pop culture level imaginable." Mondo Digital
