I feel a smidge odd about posting this *here* but I'm not sure there's a more appropriate place to reach youz guys... There's an honest-to-goodness documentary being made, right now, about THE RESIDENTS. Help it rule!

The current official trailer for it is here: http://vimeo.com/60762410

I'm bringing it to your attention in case anyone wants to throw their hat in the ring for the crowdfunding campaign. It's being produced by the award-winning KTF Films, and I'm positive it's going to kick ass. It's only 5 days into the period, and already at 45% of the goal, great! I know a few folks in here are already familiar with the Rz, or have at least some exposure to them. It always pisses me off to find out about one of these crowdfunding things after it's completed and I've missed out on a cool opportunity, so here's a waving flag!

You'll likely recognize the "classic eye" image from Blacky's avatar. Last time I caught up w Piggy, I was wearing a shirt of that image - He points at it, smiles, and says "Aaaah yes, rez-ee-dents, very weird!" I sooo appreciated that!

The crowdfunding page is here: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/theory-of-obscurity-a-film-about-the-residents

The movie's official site is here: www.ResidentsMovie.com

And, of course, the inevitable facebook page is here: https://www.facebook.com/ResidentsMovie

I'm hoping the fundraising will far-exceed the goal, because the more $ they get, the more unseen material (some going back 40 years on long-archaic formats) can be transferred for the film and possible future releases.

So yeah, support it! They're just about to complete their 41st year of releasing weirdness, with more to come... Get in on it!

All the best,
PAULIE

THNX Paulie for posting this. I Love the Residents. They will start Touring next year.

Two years ago i saw them live - incredible show, and until now nobody knows who are the Residents.

Inside a giant particle accelerator,a beam of protons,traveling at near the speed of light meets a beam of antiprotons moving equally fast in the opposite direction.The protons and mirror-image antiprotons annihilate each other,creating the fiery chaos of a parallel micro-galaxy.Experiment one complete,the VOIVOD goes into that new dimension,meeting different civilisations and psychic entities,extracting knowledge and energy in the eight programs of this project called: D I M E N S I O N H A T R Ö S S

An update! With 17 days left to go, crowdfunding has already EXCEEDED the goal (Goal was $25k, currently over $26k), so thanks to Phobos and anyone / everyone else who's kicked in so far - That being said, there's still time to get in on it! The donation period will end on Dec. 31st, so throw some coins in the hat!

Having hit the goal, they have already posted some outtakes from Vileness Fats (circa 1972-1976) as a thank you... http://vimeo.com/81851447 Weirdness!

All the best,
PAULIE
