SPECIAL EXHIBIT JULY - OCTOBER 2018  Root Down Brewing Company celebrates their one year anniversary with a weekend full of music, events, and partying. There will be giveaways and more. Friday night: Old school hip-hop with Love City DJs Saturday: PliM, their our anniversary Wild Ale, will be tapped. There's a party with friends in the industry featuring some guest taps TBD. PliM will also be available to go! Saturday night: Mason Porter live from 9PM - Midnight Sunday: Phoenixville Punk Rock Flea Market featuring the release of Some Kinda Heat Hot Sauce. Sunday night: Rock out with The Noid and Hometown Ghosts RSVP to the event on Facebook   Anthrophobia is definied by Webster's dictionary as "a pathological fear of people or human company." While this is hardly akin to band's sound, the PA legends have been perfecting their signature metal / hardcore since the 90s. They bring the ruckus to The Pickering Creek Inn this Friday June 15th along with Already DeaD (w/ members of Orcus), Slagmatter (w/ members of Loafass and Riverside Odds) and the loveable DJ Tony Cadaver of The Noid. Anthrophobia can best be comparable to early hardcore bands like Bad Brains, Helmet, and Faith No More. All Music Guided noted that they "sometimes sounds like Quicksand fronted by Rob Zombie." Lead vocalist Frank Phobia delivers his diatribes over a churning bed of metallic, angst-driven grooves, delivered with a no-nonsense aesthetic. Don't miss your chance to see some real rock and roll heroes up close and personal.   First Reformed, the new film for this week, is generating rave reviews and lots of buzz. Written and directed by maverick filmmaker Paul Schrader (writer of Taxi Driver and Raging Bull), First Reformed stars Ethan Hawke in an Award-caliber role as a reverend facing a series of personal and professional crises.
The New World Cinema series continues with a special one-night-only sneak preview of the new South African Western Five Fingers for Marseilles.
