This double bill marks the launch of the girl gang season! Look out for gangs of girls making their mark on the city during September. The evening will be introduced by Dr. Julia Downes (Durham University/ even clean hands cause damage) who programmed the season will share her obsession with the mythological curiosity of the girl gang.

Ladies & Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains (1981) All-girl punk band The Stains struggle for fame and success. Although Paramount executives tried to bury the film that inadvertently ended Lou Adler’s career the film’s obscure appearances on cable television inspired riot grrrl. Bikini Kill’s Tobi Vail described the film as 'the most realistic and profound film I have ever seen’. In contrast Desperate Teenage Lovedolls (1984) is a low budget underground film shot on super-8 film about an all-girl rock band of teenage runaways and their misadventures.
