Come out for a night of film, rock 'n' roll and mayhem at the 'No Fun City' tour launch
Underground punk music scene lives on in Vancouver.
No Fun City is becoming the talk of the town. The Vancouver-made documentary, which takes a look at the city’s struggling underground punk music scene, will embark on a cross-Canada and overseas tour this fall due to growing demand from the film festival circuit. A launch event on Saturday, September 4 at the Rickshaw Theatre will kick off the tour and help raise some needed coin to keep the film’s momentum up as it hits festivals in Vancouver, Montreal and London, England.

Rickshaw Theatre, 254 East Hastings St., Vancouver
Saturday, September 4, 2010. Screening at 7 p.m. Live bands at 9 p.m.
Performances by Vapid, Twin Crystals, Defektors and the Furies. Music by DJ J-Hag from 3 Inches of Blood. Tickets are $15 at the door.
For the past two years, Canadian rock junkies Melissa James and Kate Kroll have been following local punk bands, music venue owners and industry supporters through the trials and tribulations of a scene that refuses to die. The film takes an unapologetic look at the music, the politics and the business of punk—venues closing, outdated city regulations and conflicting business interests—as underground music fights to stay alive.
The documentary is told through interviews with legendary local bands Skinny Puppy and DOA, as well as current Vancouver bands 3 Inches of Blood and Japandroids. It is packed with high-energy music performances, candid behind-the-scenes action, and an explosive soundtrack.
