LOUDER THAN WAR:

Lubricated Goat’s Stu Spasm honored in new Rock Doc

More announcements coming!

Slide 1 Alex

“The film feels like one of those unplanned moments when you end up spending the entire evening, at the bar, with an interesting stranger you’ll never forget.”

Louder than war
Alex Maiolo
Emil

“Filling in a crucial hole in the evolution of noise rock, this documentary honors one of the most colorful outsiders of his time.”

Emil Amos
Om, Grails, Holy Sons
Slide 2 NYT

“Speaking of noise, that’s kind of Stu Spasm’s thing,
from Lubricated Goat in the late 1980s,
to his current project, THE ART GRAY NOIZZ QUINTET.
This elder statesman of clamor hasn’t lost his touch.”

The New York Times
Danielle Dowling
Slide 3 Mark Prindle

“An amazing personal journey — 20 years the making — with one of noise rock/grunge’s most unjustly unsung visionaries.”

Mark Prindle
Slide 4 King Coffey

“A great film. And what an interesting life!
I really enjoyed my Saturday night at home, living vicariously through Stu.”
