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

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
