The post OFF! Announce Farewell Shows Featuring Shellac, F**ked Up, and Surfbort appeared first on Consequence.

OFF!, the hardcore supergroup led by singer Keith Morris (Circle Jerks, ex-Black Flag) and guitarist Dimitri Coats (ex-Burning Brides), have announced a run of final shows to coincide with the release of their new feature film, Free LSD.

The three final shows will take place July 18th at Lincoln Hall in Chicago (with Shellac); July 20th at (Le) Poisson Rouge in New York City (with Fucked Up); and July 26th at The Belasco in Los Angeles (with Surfbort).

Each of those cities will also feature an advance screening of the movie along with a Q&A: July 17th at Music Box Theatre in Chicago; July 19th at Village East by Angelika in NYC; and August 2nd at Nuart Theatre in Los Angeles. Tickets for both the shows and film screenings can be purchased here.

The movie was written and directed by Coats, with a synopsis that is described as follows in a press release:

“The film Free LSD follows the story of Keith (played by Keith Morris), an elderly sex shop owner who falls for a younger woman visiting his store looking for a gift. When their relationship turns physical, Keith’s failure to perform leads him to a strange erectile dysfunction doctor who offers hope in the form of an experimental drug. The experience gives Keith much more than renewed manhood. It also provides a glimpse into a parallel universe where he is not only the singer of the band OFF!, but also the target of an advanced AI species that will stop at nothing to prevent the group from making a new album, which holds the key to an awakening of human consciousness.”

Among the actors and musicians who appear in the film are Jack Black, Autry Fulbright II, D.H. Peligro (Dead Kennedys), David Yow (Jesus Lizard), Chelsea Debo, James Duval, Dana Gould, Barry Del Sherman, Davey Havok (AFI), Angelo Moore (Fishbone), Zander Schloss (Circle Jerks), Chloe Dykstra, Chris D. (The Flesh Eaters), Don Bolles (Germs), Don Nguyen, and others.

While the three concerts are being billed as the “final farewell shows,” the press release specifies that OFF! are taking an “indefinite hiatus,” implying that it might not be the very end for the band.

Following the three screenings, Free LSD will get a worldwide digital release via distributor Buffalo 8, with more details to come.

In addition to Morris and Coats, OFF!’s lineup is rounded out by drummer Justin Brown (Thundercat, Flying Lotus, Herbie Hancock) and bassist Autry Fulbright II (…And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead).
