Almost Famous - A Soundtrack Party w/ Important Group (Guardians of the Galaxy tribute), Daphne Tunes & Friends (The Royal Tenenbaums tribute), SKATELAND (Top Gun tribute)

It’s movie night at Hotel Vegas! Set up for a triple feature – or, really, three 30-minute sets – of local bands’ takes on film soundtracks. Skateland’s bedroom pop sensibilities set him up to tackle the Eighties glitz of the Top Gun (think Berlin, but also Kenny Loggins). Daphne Tunes has an embarrassment of riches with Royal Tenenbaums: Nico, Elliott Smith, and the Ramones make appearances, alongside earworm film originals from the GOAT Mark Mothersbaugh that they could apply their sunny, melodic guitar work to. Important Group, featuring some friends from Being Dead, take on the Seventies rock of Guardians of the Galaxy, with the chance to interpret both Redbone and David Bowie. Get your popcorn ready. – Abby Johnston
