Savage Psychedelic Nights
"A tense, mind bending, savage freakout. A real rough trip."
Well my Friday nights are officially planned for the next seven weeks. The event is automatically appealing, just from its name.
Once you have a look at what the Chauvel has lined up, I'm sure you will be joining us for each of the double features, keeping your eyes glued to the screen into the early hours of Saturday morning.
