Featuring an interivew with Neil Norman

We focus today on MId to late 60s garage and psych rock, and talk to direcor Neil Norman of the new documenatry film on The Seeds, called Pushin Too Hard.

Pushin Too Hard will be playing at the Hollywood Theater on July 16th 7pm , $10 admssion.

Here's the description of the film:

The SEEDS spread a web of sound from the Sunset Strip to the rest of the world in the 1960's with such anthems of teen frustration as "Pushin' Too Hard" and "Can't Seem to Make You Mine". Fronted by charismatic lead singer Sky Saxon, the band's driving sound helped lay the groundwork for punk. This definitive documentary follows the quartet's odyssey from rags to riches to rags again - and ultimately their rediscovery by new generations of garage-rock fans -using vintage television and concert performances, rare photos and recent interviews with all of the group's original members, as well as fans and observers including IGGY POP, KIM FOWLEY, GENE NORMAN, The BANGLES, JOHNNY ECHOLS of LOVE and BRUCE JOHNSON of The Beach Boys.

Neil Norman in attendance for Q+A after the film.
