RESIDENTS UPDATE

From the Cherry Red newsletter

Greetings once again, Eyeball observers. It's us!

We hope all is well with you and yours - The Residents have asked us to check in that you're all doing OK in these curious times, and to let you know that they're fine, thanks for asking. Their 50th Anniversary proceedings are on their collective hive mind, and 'Triple Trouble' is out in the world. The rest is white noise.

The big news is that 'Triple Trouble' is coming home to San Francisco, as part of the 45th Mill Valley Film Festival. It'll be screening at The Roxie Theater (3117 16th Street, SF) on Saturday, October 15th, at 7pm, and The Residents themselves will be performing at the Sweetwater Music Hall (19 Corte Madera Avenue) a couple of days before on Thursday, October 13th, previewing their upcoming 50th Anniversary Faceless Forever tour. Tickets for the screening are available now at mvff.com – tickets for the concert go on sale on September 13th, again via mvff.com. Hubba!

And there's more - the Arizona Underground Film Festival will also be showing the movie on September 17th (all you need on that one here: https://azuff.org/2022films/triple-trouble/), whilst The Residents' Antipodean pals can stream it as part of the Sydney Underground Film Festival, right HERE:
https://suff2022.eventive.org/films/62e48e29ce203e005b3f15ff?. As we speak, the group's representatives are negotiating further appearances, which you just know you'll be the first to hear about as they happen.

Fittingly, an accompanying Official Soundtrack Album has also been announced, released November 18th. It does what you'd expect of a 'Triple Trouble' OST, and arrives in a very pleasing hard-backed book, full of photographs and words. You can read all about it, and pick up a copy if you think it seems like a good deal...

Our great pals at Psychofon will also be accommodating the collectors among you with their usual range of brilliant vinyl editions - more HERE : https://www.psychofonrecords.com/shop/? - if that's your kinda thing.

And what of that 50th Anniversary? It's a big one, no doubt about that. The Residents feel sure there'll be a selection of self-congratulatory reissues, best-ofs, encyclopaedias, t-shirts and live shows to mark the occasion, and word is that 'Santa Dog 2022' is also coming our way. Oh, and there's a plan afoot for a Record Store Day release intended to use one anniversary to commemorate another. Or so it says here. That one sounds cool.

More info on all of that as we have it, dear friends. As ever, keep your third eyes well squeegee'd and enjoy the ride.

Your Pals,
New Ralph Too
