Lazy FM versus "The Warriors"

DJs Lazy FM (Josh Werner and Hiroki) create a live-mixed soundtrack to the cult classic The Warriors at 7pm at the Chicago Cultural Center, 75 E. Washigton Ave. It's free! Here's the press release:

"Lazy FM vs. The Warriors is presented as part of the ohm performance series that incorporates new media in the arenas of theater, music and visual art. The event is held in conjunction with HairStories, a thematic exhibition exploring the imagery, cultural significance and aesthetics of black hair, on view through July 3 at the Cultural Center.

"Afros play into the costumes of this 1979 borderline-camp film that explores race relations through urban street gangs. Directed by Walter Hill, the action begins when representatives from all of New York City's street gangs attempt to unite into one group. When the resultant shooting is wrongly blamed on a gang called the Warriors, they face the violent revenge of the rival gangs in enemy territory on their journey back to their respective turf. The Warriors will be shown in DVD projection (94 mins.).

"Josh Werner of Antennae International and Gramaphone Records and Hiroki of Milk Cru team up as Lazy FM and spin live music to The Warriors. As Lazy FM, their soundtrack to The Warriors has been featured at the electronic music nights on Mondays at Danny's. They will also prepare soundtracks for The Breakfast Club and Caddyshack for viewings this summer at Danny's."
