LAIFF Unveils Indie Music Night Lineup; Also Reveals Film Lineup Change

by Mark Rabinowitz


The Los Angeles Independent Film Festival (LAIFF) has announced the bandlist for their second Indie Music Night, being held on April 17th at Luna Park. The festival also announced a film lineup change yesterday.

Indie Music Night presents nine up-and-coming musicians on two stages and is presented in conjunction with the limited issuance of the 2nd LAIFF CD. "Music plays such an important role in films, especially independent films," LAIFF founder and director Robert Faust told indieWIRE yesterday, "and we wanted to marry the importance of music and films with what we're trying to do at the festival, which is discovering and nurturing new talent."

The diverse bands playing at the music night and selected by Peer Music's Monti Olsen are Coal, The Autumns, Agnes Gooch, Holly McNarland and Skanic in the upstairs theater, and Nil Lara, Kim Fox, Brad Mitchell, Joanna Deseyne and Dramarama's John Easdale on the downstairs stage. The LAIFF CD, available through the festival only, features artists such as John Wesley Harding, Rooster and Rufus Wainwright.

In other LAIFF news, the festival has announced that the film, "Trigger Happy" will not be screening at the festival as previously announced, as the film's producers will not have their print available to screen. The festival has instead added the world premiere of Neil Grieve's "Stuart Bliss." "Bliss" is written by Grieve and Michael Zelniker who also stars and served as the film's producer.
