Color Me Obsessed is a new documentary about the Replacements that tells their story through over 140 interviews with the Mats' biggest fans. On Wednesday, May 4, the film's director, Gorman Bechard, will join Jill Riley and Steve Seel on The Morning Show.

As for the Color Me Obsessed screening, the May 4 screening at the Woman’s Club is pretty much sold out. There will be a small number of tickets available at the door, starting at 6 p.m.

However, we’re pleased to announce we’ve added two more screenings of Color Me Obsessed at the Trylon Microcinema, Thursday May 5 at 7 p.m. & 9:30 p.m., with director/producer Gorman Bechard and producer Jan Radder present for a Q & A following the 7 p.m. show.

Tickets are on sale now at Take-Up Productions.

Presented by: 89.3 the Current, EMI Audio, First-Avenue, Take-Up Productions and Holiday Inn Metrodome.

After Party

Following the screening at the Woman’s Club on Wednesday May 4, the 7th St. Entry will be hosting the Color Me Obsessed afterparty. Doors open at 9 p.m., music starts at 10 p.m. This is an 18+ event. Tickets are $6 at the door and $2 with a ticket stub from the film screening.

Bands:

Story of the Sea: 3-piece rock band comprised of singer/guitarist Adam Prince, kid brother/drummer Ian Prince and stand-out bass talent John McEwen. They'll be accompanied by The Current's own radio rockers David Campbell and Jim McGuinn.

Chooglin': With a bleating horn section and ferocious guitar playing, this band is a boogie-rock juggernaut that has the guts and the skills to deliver greasy, proto-Stax soul and relentless, riff-driven rockers.

Matthew Ryan: From Nashville, Tennessee, Matthew Ryan is an insightful artist with an intuitive ability to capture mood and emotion.
