Revue Cinema’s Stompbox Series and High Notes Coffee + Vinyl present the Toronto premiere of acclaimed documentary Born Innocent: The Redd Kross Story.
With an influence reaching across the genres of punk, alternative/college rock, grunge, metal and indie rock, Born Innocent makes the case for Redd Kross as the seminal Los Angeles band of the last half century.
Formed in 1978 by brothers Jeff and Steven McDonald, Redd Kross are the ultimate rock and roll lifers. From inventing Beach Punk to influencing the Grunge and Hair Metal movements, Redd Kross have maintained the highest level of musical integrity, originality, and quality for over 40 years. The McDonald Brothers are the underappreciated link between countless threads of Los Angeles rock, and embody Southern California, rock and roll, and what it means to be an artist. Long a “secret handshake” favorite of true music fans, it’s time for the world to discover the joyful and irresistible music of Redd Kross.
Born Innocent features members of: The Go-Go’s, Sonic Youth, Pearl Jam, Melvins, Black Flag, Soundgarden, Circle Jerks, Dinosaur Jr., L7, and many more!
Redd Kross fans! Be advised there will be two copies of Redd Kross’ self-titled album to give away at the screening. And of course, do not forget that Redd Kross plays Toronto’s Lee’s Palace on July 29.
Stompbox brings Born Innocent: The Redd Kross Story to the Revue Cinema for its Toronto premiere on July 28, featuring an in-person Q&A with Redd Kross co-founders and brothers, Jeff and Steven McDonald.
