WOW! October 13 is going to be the jam cause we got garage punk legends Pierced Arrows coming through on October 13th. They’re playing at the Holland Project (140 VESTA) with Don’t and The Z-28′s. If you haven’t visited the garage in a while Pierced Arrows is the project of Fred Cole and his lovely wife Toody Cole of Dead Moon.

The film will be screened at the Holland Project at 140 Vesta St. on Sat. Oct. 8 from 6-8PM. Following the screening there will be a Q&A session with filmmaker Bill Daniel and the photographers Jai Tanju and Ray Potes featured in Tri-X-Noise. $5 cover.
