What do you think about that Nigel?
Looks like he likes it!
“Go to 11 on 11-11-11 with Spinal Tap” will relive the sights, the sounds…and the smells of England’s loudest band of drummer-snuffing heavy metal heroes – Nigel Tufnel, David St. Hubbins and Derek Smalls (a.k.a. Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer) – and their ludicrous collection of amplified guitars that inexplicably “go to 11.”
- See “This is Spinal Tap” screenings at 8:11 and 11:11 p.m
- Hear local Spinal Tap tribute band Smell the Glove expertly tackle 11 stubbornly timeless Tap tunes, including “Hell Hole,” “Big Bottom,” “Sex Farm,” “Heavy Duty,” “Stonehenge” and “Tonight I’m Gonna Rock You Tonight.”
- Meet legendary Kansas City rock radio personality Skid Roadie from 101 the Fox
- Play the “Go to 11” Swag Raffle ($5 a ticket), including movie memorabilia, CD/DVD packages and a Screenland Theatres Annual VIP Pass for Two.
- Come as your favorite Spinal Tap character and receive a free raffle ticket and a free Screenland ticket to a future event
- Visit dealer tables with t-shirts, comics and other cool collectibles.
Given the topsy-turvy world of heavy rock and Spinal Tap in particular, anything could happen on the big night, says Smell the Glove singer/guitarist Dave Patmore. “It would be nice if we could blow up at least one drummer on stage,” Patmore says. “Remember, it’s a fine line between stupid and clever.”
