We're Out Of Our Minds for Melissa Auf der Maur
After working closely with both Billy Corgan and Courtney Love, you'd figure that Melissa Auf der Maur would have a few screws loose. However, between her Black Sabbath tribute band Hand of Doom and her debut self-titled solo album, Melissa seems to be the only former member of either Hole or The Smashing Pumpkins to still consistently release fantastic music. Looks like she's got a good head on her shoulders. Just last week, she released her sophomore solo effort, Out Of Our Minds, which is a visionary combination album, film, and graphic novel.
Melissa's gracing the cover of the latest Venus Zine issue, and to celebrate the folks over at Venus Zine are hosting a screening of her new 28-minute silent film, along with a Q & A with MAdM herself. The event is taking place at the Chicago Art Department's Pilsen Gallery, 1837 S. Halsted St., on Friday, April 23rd at 6 pm. If you'd like to attend, RSVP to events@venuszine.com. MAdM will be rocking Beat Kitchen the following night (Saturday, April 24th) at 9:30 pm. Tickets for the Beat Kitchen show are $12 and can be purchased here.
