FILM
Fist of Fury
Past Event
Like
List
Set in 1910s Shanghai, Bruce Lee is at his most kickass in the fiery '72 flick Fist of Fury. The film alludes not-so-subtly to Japanese colonialism—hoping to defend his school and China's honor after his master is murdered, Lee hunts down a dojo of Japanese imperialists and shows 'em who's boss. The revenge fantasy cemented Lee's status as a cult hero and impossibly cool dude.

Back in 2016, former Mercury editor Ciara Dolan wrote: "Jessica Lea Mayfield makes badass, spooky rock 'n' roll with dusty country twang and synthy outer-space vibes. Think Cowboys and Aliens meets Mazzy Star. Mayfield's voice grows steadily out of her lush, glittery soundscapes, almost like she's creating a whole new dimension with her sparkly pink electric guitar." She will stop by on tour with support from singer-songwriter Homeschool.

Anonymous Theatre: Clue
Past Event
Like
List
Inspired by the cult film and the board game, Clue: On Stage expands on the long-held notion that murder is sometimes a little bit funny (you know, as a treat). The play's premise is a perfect fit for Anonymous Theatre, an extra-mysterious company in which the cast is kept a secret (each actor rehearses one-on-one with the play's director, never learning the identities of the other cast members until opening night). Actors will mingle within the audience, delivering their first lines from their seats when the play begins. It's a real whodunnit! We think Tim Curry would approve.

Marissa Nadler's journey though music is as compelling as her songs. Her earliest records showed her talent as a true balladeer, delivering tragic songs that were stripped down so her lush vocals became the centerpiece. Since then Nadler's records have become even more ambitious and layered. And 2016's Strangers might be her most accessible, although it still lurks in the shadows. MARK LORE

Mercury contributor Delaney Motter wrote in 2019: "We could all learn a lesson or two from Los Angeles’ brutally honest punk band the Regrettes—lessons like it’s always better to speak your mind, music is generally better when it’s louder, and there’s no such thing as too young. The band self-released their debut EP Hey! in 2015 when singer Lydia Night was just 14 years old, and caught the attention of Warner Brothers Records." Now on tour supporting their third album, Further Joy, they will take the stage alongside alt-rock artist Alex Lahey.

Move over Rush—Coheed and Cambria could very well be the nerdiest band on the planet. How else would you describe a progressive-rock band that writes concept albums based on a science-fiction story line? The albums are but a gateway to the "Amory Wars," tales that lead vocalist/guitarist Claudio Sanchez portrays in both comic- and full-length book form. Sanchez's distinctive high-pitched voice is a unique characteristic of Coheed and Cambria, especially when partnered with their often huge, Zeppelin-like riffs. Regardless of how much commercial success C&C attain, their die-hard fans will keep this wonderfully quirky band going as long as the story line permits. KEVIN DIERS
