The vitals:
7:00 ~ Doors
7:30 ~ TOTAL BADASS 15-year anniversary featuring a new ending and live Q&A

From the early-90s all the way up into the late 20-teens, Chad Holt reigned supreme in the Austin underground scene. A legend, icon, singer (Fruntbutt, Gun Totin’ Meat Eaters, B.F.E), writer, performer (Rock Opera, Slacker 2011), publisher (Whoopsy! Magazine), weed dealer (shwag), and the biggest pants-meat haver this side of the Pecos, Chad Holt entertained like no other.

At a pivotal moment in the counter-culture of Austin’s transition from weird li’l town of musicians and oddballs into the bustling and glitzy center-of-attention the city has become, Chad Holt flapped the freak flag loud and proud. Mofo kept it weird af all the way through.

The near-impossible-to-find film will have a rare public screening on October 4 at 7:30 at Hyperreal Film Club. Filmmaker Bob Ray (Rock Opera, Hell on Wheels, Slacker 2011, The Adam Reposa Saga, Sacked) will share stories and field question in a post-screening Q&A. Chad Holt died of butthole cancer in 2019 so we’ll pour one out for him. RIP

Warning: this film is unrated and not suitable for everyone, as it features some of life’s funner fun: sex, drugs, rock ‘n’ roll, humor, heart (and Guinea pigs). So either be warned, or come revel in the splendor of Austin’s bygone times while living it up in celebration of Austin’s patron saint of freaky-deaky counter-culture, Chad Holt.
