In 𝙀𝙧𝙪𝙥𝙘𝙟𝙖, screening Friday, May 22, a volcanic eruption strands Bethany (Charli XCX) and her soon-to-be fiancé, Rob (Will Madden) in Warsaw, Poland. In this romantic vacation gone awry, Bethany takes the explosive event as a sign to ditch her baggage, reunite with childhood friend Nel (Lena Góra) and traipse across lofts, clubs and back alleys, all the while becoming entangled in an emotional web that challenges her sense of self.

We're psyched to screen this charming and delightful anti-romantic comedy about the pains and pleasures of being in love from American maverick Pete Ohs, who wrote, directed, edited, photographed, and produced.

Just announced...𝙎𝙬𝙖𝙢𝙥 𝘿𝙤𝙜𝙜 returns to SPACE! Celebrating his 84th birthday in July, the legend of country soul and R&B returns with a brand new album, 𝘚𝘸𝘢𝘮𝘱 𝘋𝘰𝘨𝘨 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦.

SPACE members, check your inboxes shortly for news on an exclusive pre-sale. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Monday, May 4 at 10 am.

From producing classic soul for Atlantic Records to iconic album covers, from making Richard Nixon’s “enemies list” to kickstarting Dr. Dre’s career, from Muscle Shoals to collaborations with John Prine and Bon Iver, “the original D-O double G” might be the most interesting man in the history of American music.

Released on Juneteenth, 𝘚𝘸𝘢𝘮𝘱 𝘋𝘰𝘨𝘨 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 is Swamp Dogg’s 27th album. Featuring guest collaborations with Jenny Lewis, it's the latest in a seven-decade career that’s long outgrown any single definition. Born Jerry Williams Jr., he’s continued to work with a restlessness that resists nostalgia or winding down, instead pushing into new conceptual territory.

𝘚𝘸𝘢𝘮𝘱 𝘋𝘰𝘨𝘨 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 will be pressed on gold vinyl, prompting 𝙎𝙬𝙖𝙢𝙥 𝘿𝙤𝙜𝙜 to say, “I’ll finally have a gold album.” In truth, while Swamp Dogg has never received a gold disc as an artist, he’s been awarded gold records for recordings by other artists in which he either produced, wrote or was the source of samples, including Gene Pitney, Johnny Paycheck, Tracy Byrd, Freddie North, Z.Z. Hill, DMX, and MC Breed.

Tickets are available at SPACE538.ORG.

Cut from the still-living body of Western Mass noise rock fixtures Made Manifest, 𝙑𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙩 combines the improvisational ethos of that band with tightly arranged songwriting and an ever expanding set of influences. Lyrically the band has predicted every major geopolitical event of the year…
