Academy is proud to present a double feature film and music event like you've never experienced before in Auckland's favorite underground cinema!
All night Saturday 22nd of June, we are going to be celebrating beloved English rock band THE WHO by first screening the gritty and ragged QUADROPHENIA (1979), a must-see for all you aspiring Mods out there and based off THE WHO's 1973 rock opera of the same name. After an intermission we follow with Ken Russell's utterly insane rock opera musical TOMMY (1975). This one is based off their earlier 1969 rock opera and has appearances from Eric Clapton, Tina Turner and Elton John!
Our DJ English Jake will also be manning the turntables from 5pm until late with his appropriately retro-themed tunes. A specialist in 60s Mod, RnB, Garage and Freakbeat, Jake was a regular DJ at the legendary Golden Dawn and is the perfect accompaniment to QUADROPHENIA and TOMMY, pumping 60s and 70s tunes for your pleasure.
Come by from 5pm and enjoy a complimentary glass of Academy's 35mm Lager (with I.D.) or non-alcoholic beverage of your choice with your ticket!
30 minutes intermission between films.
