Two essential documents of metal cult culture in one night:
First up, the legendary “Heavy Metal Parking Lot” (1986) — a raw, hilarious and now-iconic snapshot of the metalhead tribe tailgating before a Judas Priest concert. A time capsule of denim, cheap beer, and pure teenage chaos.
Then, the infernal “Venom: Live from the Hammersmith Odeon” (1985), where the UK’s most blasphemous band unleashes total sonic destruction on one of London’s most iconic stages. Black metal in its rawest, sweatiest and most explosive form.
19.00 = CAFÉ OPENS // Tickets are 70 kr.// No reservation via Email.
20.00 = “HEAVY METAL PARLING LOT” d: John Heyn and Jeff Krulik, 1986, 17 minutes //
It was on an early summer evening in 1986 that two indie filmmakers pulled up in a parking lot at Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland and took out a camcorder and microphone. There, a tailgate party for that night’s Judas Priest concert was already in high gear. Wasted teens of all shapes and sizes milled about. Krulik and Heyn went around to interview and record the gathering as these kids hooted, danced, drank, and psyched themselves up for the big event to come. This is Heavy Metal Parking Lot — perhaps the most famous 16-minute documentary not about a concert itself but the youth culture of rock that surrounded it. The sheer weirdness and raw goofiness captured right at the height of the heavy metal craze gradually became a legend in the music world, with VHS tapes of the documentary being copied and passed around by everyone from rebellious teens to reportedly Nirvana themselves.
20.30 = VENOM: LIVE FROM THE HAMMERSMITH ODEON
“Venom: Live From the Hammersmith Odeon,” directed by Madeleine French, 1985, 60 minutes //
The stage at the Hammersmith Odeon Theatre has seen thousands of bands perform over the years but few could have put it's stability to the test more than Venom. This epic concert filmed and recorded as part of the Live From London series in 1985 shows what is possible when a high-octane crowd meets a heavy metal band determined to blow them away. Brace yourself for takes on monster tracks like "Black Metal," "Welcome To Hell" and "In Nomine Satans."
