Bodega / Chicks That Scream & The Kings Arms would like to invite you to a free screening of the 2011 documentary 'Hit So Hard', which chronicles the life and near-death of Patty Schemel of Upset (and former drummer of Hole).
The night is a taster for the WHITE LUNG & UPSET - epic double bill tour which hits New Zealand in June - an international all-girl punk rock double-bill that promises to entertain and excite.
Hit So Hard is a 2011 American documentary film directed by P. David Ebersole. The film details the life and near death story of Patty Schemel, drummer of the seminal '90s alternative rock band Hole, and charts her early life, music career, and spiral into crack cocaine addiction. The film weaves together Hi8 video footage Schemel recorded while on Hole's 1994-95 world tour with contemporary interviews with her, bandmates Courtney Love, Eric Erlandson, and Melissa Auf der Maur, as well as her family members. The film also features interviews with other female drummers and musicians, including Nina Gordon, Kate Schellenbach, Gina Schock, Debbi Peterson, and Phranc.
The film's score is written by Roddy Bottum of Faith No More. The title is a reference to a song on Hole's 1998 album Celebrity Skin.
