World/Inferno is a cabaret punk band from Brooklyn, merging punk, klezmer, and gospel. Boasting a lineup with members of The Hold Steady, Kid Casanova and Sticks and Stones, the pedigree most recently got a booster shot with Brian Viglione of The Dresden Dolls taking over the drums. This Weimar gang isn’t the usual rock band with horns, it’s punk rock for the masses on Halloween in 1933. Hailing from Boston, New Hampshire and Maine, riot folkies The Swaggerin' Growlers open with their trademark irish punk.

Co-presented with:
The Maine Chapter of the US Green Building Council

Set in rugged South Boston, this is the story of a revolutionary Green Building. From wheatboard cabinetry to recycled steel, bamboo flooring to dual-flush toilets, The Macallen Building is something different––a leader in the emerging field of environmentally friendly design. But Boston’s steel-toed construction workers aren’t sure they like it. And when things on the building start to go wrong, the young development team has to keep the project from unraveling. Funny and poignant, The Greening of Southie is a story of bold ideas, unlikely environmentalists, and the future of the way we live. Created by the co-producers and stars of King Corn, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis.

Famed rock scribe Joe Carducci visits Portland in support of his new book “Enter Naomi; SST And All That.” Carducci was the A&R man for the record label SST, which was instrumental in the development of hardcore punk with releases by the Minutemen, Hüsker Dü, the Meat Puppets, Sonic Youth, and Dinosaur Jr. Carducci’s book Rock and the Pop Narcotic was a critique of rock as an art form. His newest work is a tribute to Naomi Peterson, SST’s house photographer who chose the bohemian lifestyle but died tragically alone in a hotel due to alcohol abuse.

Portland’s DraculaZombieUSA Yankee Ingenuity is the third branch of the legendary DraculaZombieUSA franchise, which began in Brooklyn and spread to San Francisco. The seven members of DZUSA:YI unleash a dance party spectacle, complete with electro beats, catchy-as-hell pop hooks and plenty of sweaty shimmying. MTV.com says it’s “a dance-beat-fueled riot grrrl mashup we’ll call punko -- or maybe discunk.” The night is complemented nicely by fellow bands-with-weird-names including the debut performance of Miss Amanda Jones, featuring members of Harpswell Sound, Godbois and King Memphis.

The Found Footage Festival is a one-of-a-kind event that showcases footage from videos that were found at garage sales and thrift stores and in warehouses and dumpsters throughout the country.

From the curiously-produced industrial training video to the forsaken home movie donated to Goodwill, The Found Footage Festival resurrects these forgotten treasures and serves them up in a lively celebration of all things found.

It’s time to get out of the house after a lazy holiday, and what better reason than Pete Kilpatrick’s long-overdue return to SPACE? The 2008 winner of the Portland Phoenix Best Music Poll in the best male vocalist category just released a new album in September, well received in Portland and beyond. To open the night we’ll have a short set by Marie Moreshead, a lovely lady the Portland Phoenix calls “our city’s new ingénue” followed by a re-invigorating bro-down with Roy Davis and The Dregs.
