Riot on the Dance Floor

Through an oral history format of in-depth interviews and archival footage, RIOT ON THE DANCE FLOOR bring to life the gritty story of City Gardens, one of New Jersey’s most infamous clubs and its larger than life promoter, Randy Now. Featuring the stark and iconic photography of Thrasher Magazine’s Ken Salerno, the film chronicles the rise of several different music scenes in a venue for underground music that traversed the entertainment spectrum; from the comedy of Henny Youngman to Nine Inch Nails, New Order to Nirvana. It is the story of musical champions, underdogs and how hoards of misfit kids found an unlikely home and above all, the freedom and liberation of having complete creative control. - IFF Boston

Ministry - Enjoy the Quiet: Live at Wacken 2012

Ministry are back with a set of blistering live material from the final show of their 2012 tour at Wacken Open Air in front of 75,000 screaming fans. Tragically, Ministry's longtime guitarist and Al Jourgensen's best friend Mike Scaccia died less than five months later. Jourgensen says: "Not only is this a great recording of Mikey at his absolute best performance, in his element, having the time of his life, it's one of the last live official videos of the band ever. If you didn't see the tour, you'll want to catch what you missed. And if you were there, well, you saw a piece of history and it will make a great souvenir - or a great drink coaster." With 16 million records sold worldwide, six Grammy nominations and kudos from Industrial and Metal bands including Nine Inch Nails, Slipknot and Korn, Al Jourgensen has earned the title Godfather Of Industrial Metal.
