REEL TIME: July's Tuesday Tune-Outs at PhilaMOCA

Tuesdays have recently been one of the more exciting times to travel to PhilaMOCA (531 N. 12th St.) thanks to the museum's $5 Tuesday Tune-Outs. Once a week at 8 p.m., a different local musician will play a set and screen a film that has been an inspiration to them. These screenings are normally unannounced beforehand, but not so with July’s guest curator Herbie Shellenberger. Being an employee of the International House, member of local act Pet Milk and founder of Black Circle Cinema, his retro-influenced line-up for this month is as varied as the résumé.

Pet Milk takes the stage tonight, rocking out with influences that include twee, noise-pop, and blonde bombshell Nico. Screening this night is Future Shock, a psychedelic 1972 short documentary projected on 16mm film. The big man Orson Welles narrates, showcasing some of the hyperbole he would use in F For Fake the following year.

July 17 features the collaboration of Jesse Kudler and Alex Tyson, musicians working in experimentation. The pair will improvise alongside a variety of Shellenberger’s 16mm ephemeral films. Kudler utilizes inexpensive, lo-fi tech and computer compositions, while Tyson descends from the realm of visual music.

Tom Guycot steps up as the last performer on July 24. Guycot’s influences lay in library stock music and early electronic horror soundtracks, guaranteeing a night of chills on this side of Halloween. Fittingly, he will play with clips of assorted cult VHS films warping away in the background to his uncanny sounds. His film choice, Quiet Cool (pictured), ends the night on 1980s B-movie adrenaline with a story involving a cop and his son going Rambo on pot farmers.
