Rozz Williams: Romeo’s Distress — Documentary Screening + Live Performance

You found this. Be the first one here.

Some artists leave songs behind. He left a wound that never closed, and this scene has been carrying it for more than two decades.

The documentary screens first — Nico B's film on Rozz Williams, taking its Southern California premiere. Then comes the part that is hard to explain to anyone outside it: Rikk Agnew, James McGearty, and David Glass, the original Christian Death lineup, playing material from Only Theatre of Pain, Catastrophe Ballet, and Ashes, with Eva O, Gitane Demone, Patrik Mata, William Faith, and Kenton Holmes taking vocals. This is not a tribute band. These are the people who were in the room when the music was made.

The Fox Theater in Pomona, all art deco grandeur, is the right building for something this heavy. Tickets through AXS.

If you know someone who wore out their copy of Only Theatre of Pain, they need to hear about this tonight.
