From the website:

Music: Mouthful of Bees
“. . . songs so raucous they sound like they’re on the verge of implosion . . . insanely catchy . . . a combination of the Beatles and the Stooges.” —Vita.mn

Heads bob and pulses quicken when MoB launches into the poppy, hooky, punchy, groovy indie pop that’s made them a local sensation. Much more than a buzz band, their sound balances joyful bounce, sugar-coated sting, and brain-lodging melody as they edge toward “next big thing” status.

Movie: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
Directed by Frank Capra
Thinking that they can control inexperienced, wide-eyed freshman Senator Smith (Jimmy Stewart), the political establishment is not prepared for his genuine commitment to service and democracy. When they try to crush him, he fights back to represent the ordinary citizen with one of the most passionate speeches ever filmed. Nominated for 11 Oscars. 1939, 16mm, 126 minutes.

Copresented by the Walker Art Center and the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board. Summer Music & Movies is sponsored by Lunds. Additional support is generously provided by The Hotel Minneapolis – a Doubletree Hotel and Elizabeth Redleaf. Media partners City Pages and 89.3 The Current.
