Premiere Run Fri, Nov 15 & Sat, Nov 16

LOUDER THAN YOU THINK is a suitably ramshackle cinematic walkabout—complete with marionette reenactments—through the life of Gary Young, the original (and highly unlikely) drummer of indie rock royalty Pavement. Gary’s booze and drugs-fueled antics (including on-stage handstands and gifting vegetables to fans) and haphazard production methods—which accidentally helped launch the lo-fi aesthetic—were both a driving force of the band’s early rise and the cause of his eventual crash landing. Leaving a wake of joy and/or destruction at every turn, Gary teeters the thin line between free-form self-expression and chaotic self-destruction. Thirty years on with scoliosis, blood clots, and a shriveled liver, Gary continued drumming with no regrets. — adapted from notes by Factory 25
