SUMMARY:Circle Jerks x Repo Man Live Performance and Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Paramount Theatre and Resound PresentCircle Jerks x Repo ManLive Performance & Film Screening \nThe Paramount TheatreSunday\, May 3\, 2026 \nDoors: 7pmShow: 8pm \nCircle Jerks emerged from the punk underbelly of LA’s South Bay in 1979. After serving as a co-founder and lead vocalist of Black Flag during the recording of its essential Nervous Breakdown EP\, Keith Morris joined forces with former Redd Kross guitarist Greg Hetson to form what would become Circle Jerks\, along with bassist Roger Rogerson and jazz drummer Lucky Lehrer. Unlike much of the unapologetic hardcore that seeped through the cracks of American suburbia\, the music of the Circle Jerks was thoughtfully steadfast\, yet relentless and ferocious in nature. Bringing together a potent\, articulate rhythm section with earnest yet oftentimes derisive lyrics and themes\, the band was thereafter heralded as a leader of the pack – and a force to be reckoned with. Plowing forward with a relentless\, tooth-cutting work ethic and a rousing stage presence\, the band would soon find itself headlining shows at LA’s 5\,000-capacity Olympic Auditorium and emblazoned in cult video classics like Decline of Western Civilization\, Repo Man\, New Wave Theatre\, and The Slog Movie. Over the decades\, Circle Jerks would release six studio albums\, including the acclaimed Group Sex (1980) Wild in the Streets (1982)\, Golden Shower of Hits (1983)\, Wonderful (1985)\, and IV (1987)\, where they would become a major headliner during the alternative music explosion of the 80’s and 90’s. During hiatuses\, Morris fronted bands like OFF! and FLAG\, while Hetson played guitar in Bad Religion. Bassist Zander Schloss (The Weirdos\, Joe Strummer) has been a member since the 1980’s and veteran drummer Joey Castillo (The Bronx\, QOTSA\, Danzig\, BL’AST!\, Wasted Youth) completes the lineup as its newest member. \nRepo Man (1984)After losing his job and his girl\, LA punk Otto is employed to repossess cars. Not only does he have to tangle with their irate owners\, but he finds himself in the midst of a strange and crazy world. A very weird and wonderful debut feature from Alex Cox with an iconic punk soundtrack. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1259252492758369/

SUMMARY:POLYESTER in Odorama + CECIL B. DEMENTED With John Waters
DESCRIPTION:The Paramount Theatre PresentsPolyester in Odorama+Cecil B. DementedWith John Waters LIVEThe Paramount TheatreFriday\, October 17\, 2025 \nDoors: 7pmPolyester: 8pmCecil B. Demented: 10:30pm \nDouble Feature: This ticket gets you into both films\, but you are also welcome to attend just one. The second film will screen after a brief intermission. \nThe Pope of Trash himself\, John Waters\, returns to the Paramount to provide a live\, in-person commentary for POLYESTER\, screening in glorious Odorama\, followed by a live introduction of CECIL B. DEMENTED\, celebrating its 25th anniversary! If you joined us for last year’s deliriously filthy double feature of PINK FLAMINGOS and FEMALE TROUBLE – or heard about it later and were filled with punishing regret – you know this is a night you do not want to miss! \nYour ticket purchase includes an Odorama card fabricated by Kaleidoscope Concepts\, the same company entrusted to create the cards that were included with the Criterion Collection Blu-Ray of Polyester in 2019 \nPOLYESTER in Odorama1981\, 86min/color\, DCPDirected by: John WatersCast: Divine\, Tab Hunter\, Edith Massey\, David Samson\, Mink Stole\, and Stiv Bators. \nJohn Waters reteams with Divine to pay loving tribute – in the darkly comedic way only they could – to the Technicolor melodrama masterpieces of Douglas Sirk (ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS\, MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION) and the publicity genius of William Castle (13 GHOSTS\, THE TINGLER). Divine and Tab Hunter stand in for Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson and skewer 80s suburban domesticity\, and the audience is right there with them thanks to Odorama scratch-and-sniff cards that give you 10 reasons to rethink having a sense of smell. \nCECIL B. DEMENTED25th Anniversary!2000\, 88min/color\, DCPDirected by: John WatersCast: Melanie Griffith\, Stephen Dorff\, Alicia Witt\, Adrian Grenier\, Mink Stole\, Ricki Lake\, Michael Shannon\, and Patricia Hearst. \nJohn Waters assembles a knockout cast for this riff on the 1974 Patricia Hearst kidnapping\, with Melanie Griffith starring as an A-list actress who gets kidnapped by an outlaw filmmaking collective led by the title character (Stephen Dorff) and is forced to star in his increasingly unhinged masterpiece. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1049975287056268/

SUMMARY:The Church
DESCRIPTION:The Paramount Theatre presentsThe ChurchTHE SINGLES: 1980-2025 \nThe Paramount TheatreTuesday\, August 12\, 2025 \nDoors: 7pmShow: 8pm \nFew bands enter their fifth decade of making music with all the fierce creative energy of their early years. Even fewer bands are like The Church. \nExperiencing a renaissance of sorts with their worldwide critically-hailed 26th album The Hypnogogue and its companion 27th album (that also serves as a worthy standalone) Eros Zeta and the Perfumed Guitars\, The Church has witnessed their continued impact to astonishingly grow exponentially in audience size and media attention through not only their new albums but a world tour that took them through North America\, the UK\, Europe and back home to Australia. Coupled with the 2024 vinyl re-issues of their first four albums – Of Skins & Heart\, The Blurred Crusade\, Séance\, and Heyday – their most recent Australian tour was one of their most successful tours to date. The band also launched an exclusive fan community via a partnership with The Chorus\, aptly named nightfriends. It is a first for this storied band – an online experience where fans can receive first dibs on concert and new release presales\, have access to unreleased songs/demos/live cuts\, never-before-seen live show video content and concert films\, behind-the-music essays about the creation of pivotal albums\, exclusive band Q&As and Forum interactions\, and much more. \n2025 is turning into a banner year for the band\, getting ready to turn the page and both explore new music and celebrate their impressive catalog with a slew of live dates. Kicking off with their first-ever ‘Singles-centric’ tour this Summer in North America\, they will be digging into their catalogue and playing the songs that launched them into mainstream consciousness\, including “Metropolis\,” “Ripple\,” “C’est La Vie”\, and of course\, “Reptile” and “Under the Milky Way.” They also have a new album – their 28th! – planned for release later this year. \nThe renowned five-piece line-up is made up of bassist\, vocalist and founder Steve Kilbey\, along with long-time collaborator\, drummer\, and producer Tim Powles (a member since 1994)\, guitarist Ian Haug\, multi-instrumentalist Jeffrey Cain\, and guitarist Ashley Naylor. The Church continue to remain a treasured creative force. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/9576815705674029/

SUMMARY:John Waters at Moontower Comedy Festival
DESCRIPTION:John Waters headlines the Moontower Comedy Festival!  \nJohn WatersThe Filthiest Birthday Ever!The Paramount TheatreSaturday\, April 19\, 2025 \nDoors: 6pmShow: 7pm \nOk\, John Waters is finally coming clean\, so to speak\, and his all-new\, secret-sharing\, one-man crackpot comedy show dares to tell the truth\, the whole truth and nothing but the filthy truth. It’s an endless bag of trans-gressive and hetero-non-aggressive twisted tales that will warm the dark little hearts of non-binary brats all over the world. Over-sharing? You bet. Too much information? Maybe so\, but airing his dirty laundry makes Waters feel clean. He’ll talk to you straight even when he’s definitely not. \nWaters knows the truth isn’t always pretty and he doesn’t shy away from the social horrors of our present times–-whimsical motion pictures\, free porn you should pay for\, the humiliation of the human body and the unwanted nudity of fellow travelers in the airport. Yet Waters knows he’s not perfect either. He too has flaws. No matter what he preaches\, he does judge others and in his show he names names and assigns blame. He even admits to being a terrorist–-but a “good” terrorist\, one that stylishly blows up prejudice\, humorously overthrows theocracy\, and falls off the soapbox of self-righteous sexual politics and climbs right back on with a revolutionary horniness for a woke poke. Yessiree\, Waters tells you the truth. The Naked Truth. Shut up and listen. \nIT’S BEST WHEN YOU FEST WITH A BADGE: All festival badge holders get presale access to two weeks of headliners—including THIS ONE—plus you’ll experience our 4-day comedy club binge with 100+ comics\, parties\, and so much more. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/553591940969699/
