X, The Man With The X-Ray Eyes with live underscore by Pere Ubu

Begins: October 29, 2006

Emerging from the urban frontier of mid-70s Cleveland, Pere Ubu changed the face of music with its mix of driving rock, synthesized sound, and leader David Thomas' visionary lyrics, influencing the likes of Joy Division, REM, Pixies, Bauhaus, Julian Cope and countless others. Now, this legendary avant-garage rock band generates a throbbing, dark and atmospheric live underscore to director Roger Corman's chilling sci-fi classic X, The Man With X-Ray Eyes (1963), featuring sound effects, dialogue, and an additional score which restores the film's fabled "lost" ending.
