Warning: This Product May Cause Excessive Laughing



Langley Punks? "Hyattsville Holiday?" Do any of these ring a dim or deafening bell?
Then you, fellow Earthlings, must walk, run, hydroplane if you must, to the AFI Theater in Silver Spring Friday JUNE 10th at 7:30 pm for the extravaganza reunion known as  From Here to Obscurity. Haven't heard of them? DC Rocks is proud to present this contribution from Mark Noone, DC scene veteran and self proclaimed International Rock Star:


I knew of these guys long before they made the two Slickee Boys' videos. The first film I saw was "Intestines From Space," a local low budget B&W with a cool funny theme song and so much beer in it, it should have been financed by Anheuser Busch! The quality of the movies seemed to get better after that, but still lots of beer, and dumb white guys doing even dumber things- always a hoot to watch. Their love for the Three Stooges is evident in almost all of their features. 
I could not believe my good fortune when we became friends, and worked on three projects together, the most notable being the "When I Go to the Beach"-a  video that eventually made it to MTV back in the day when they actually showed rock videos. (thanks, Leo) 


Speaking of reunions- Slickee fans take note! Catch the Slickee Boys this summer at 9:30 Club July 3 only!
