A feat of adventure filmmaking and a testament to the audacious, spare-no-expense vision of Howard Hughes, this landmark aviation epic remains exhilarating.With the onset of World War I, two British brothers recruited into the Royal Flying Corps find their bond tested by their differing attitudes toward the war and their love for the same woman (Jean Harlow in her bombshell breakthrough).The product of a notoriously long and dangerous production that resulted in the deaths of multiple crew members, Hell’s Angels broke new technical ground, making use of early sound and color technologies, and capturing some of the most thrilling dogfight scenes ever filmed.If you saw the star-studded 2004 biopic The Aviator, this is the movie that movie was largely about. Leonardo DiCaprio is not in Hell's Angels, it having been filmed decades before he was born. (It might be argued that Leo's acting zenith was his portrayal of Arnie in What's Eating Gilbert Grape, but that's neither here nor there.)The series concludes on February 26 with Animal Crackers + Soup to Nuts ... a comedy double feature respectively featuring The Marx Brothers and The Three Stooges before they became The Three Stooges.
"Sunburned at their best are capable of taking the listener on a shamanic, boogie-fueled trip outside of quotidian reality. Live shows blend monstrous tectonics of rhythm, caustic guitar, echoing phased vocals, insect electronics, and kitchen sink instrumentation that collide in an ecstatic racket." — Sean Kitching in The Quietus
Psych legends Sunburned Hand of the Man are an enigmatic experimental collective with a stunningly large discography and frequent personnel changes. Their improvisations incorporate elements of free jazz, space rock, psych-rock, hypno krautrock, drone, folk, funk, punk, and dirty synth. Their live shows are a surprise every time — even to them, usually — ranging from wild freak-outs to more coherently sculpted material careening from unsettling to hypnotic to mellow.Throughout the mid-'90s they represented New England's "free rock" contingency, and the "free folk" — sometimes misnomered "freak folk" — era described by David Keenan's 2003 article "New Weird America" in British music magazine The Wire.There will be no opener for this show, it will be 100% Sunburned. It will get loud. Stage 33 Live has no idea what the lineup will be, or how long the show will go. This is in accordance with the strange purity of Sunburned Hand of the Man.Daisy Frederick will provide old-school psychedelic interactive liquid light projections.February 28, 2026, which is a Saturday, at 7:00 PM.
