For fans of the late great Tom Murrin, his supporters are starting a Full Moon performance festival in his honor and they need your help to get it off the ground:

“The Tom Murrin Full Moon Festival,” planned for late April of 2014, will be a celebration of the wildly inventive works of the incomparable Tom Murrin, a.k.a. Alien Comic. Murrin, who passed away in 2012, was best known as a pioneering performance artist of the East Village scene, turning trash into treasure in his uniquely entertaining shows.”

Coil 2014 Artist Jeremy Xido made a film called Death Metal Angola which will be showing at Doc NYC Festival on November 16th. The film has been getting some amazing press as of late:

“Jeremy Xido’s documentary surprises out of the gate with its understated, observational character exploring the textures of ruin and decay in war-torn Angolan cities like Luanda, Benguela, and Huambo.”- Time Magazine.

“A Cult classic in the making” – Huffington Post

“Absorbing, beautifully shot documentary… I predict a long festival life, if not more, for Xido’s superb film.” – IndieWire
