Meteor

If you grew up with the Wayans and In Living Color, rented I'm Gonna Git You Sucka from Jumbo Video, and remember when Scream seemed to reinvent the horror genre overnight.. Scary Movie was absolutely the inevitable outcome. Tomorrow night, we're putting it up on the big screen.. a gloriously dumb, filthy, completely shameless time capsule from the turn of the millenium!

TONIGHT! Dark Dazey / Sunshine Makers at Meteor
$15 advance / $20 door / 8pm doors

For fans of: Elephant Stone, Babe Rainbow, Pond

Los Angeles’ Dark Dazey bring their self-described “frog rock” to Meteor — hazy psychedelic swampscapes, country-fried garage rock and playful weirdness that lands somewhere between Ween, Mac DeMarco and Vi**ra Boys. Think the Grateful Dead dosed Jimmy Buffett.

London’s Sunshine Makers round out the night with warm, harmony-soaked psychedelic soul and funk — lush grooves, vintage analog textures and a little ’70s West Coast sunshine.

I'm not exactly sure how, but we're somehow wrapping up a little Adam Sandler film festival here.

Tomorrow night.. Click! Our third Sandler vehicle in a month, though following Uncut Gems and Punch Drunk Love, this might be the first 'Sandler Movie' in the traditional sense. Whatever, we're just going to see where this takes us!

Come hang out and watch Christopher Walken hand Adam Sandler the world's most dangerous universal remote, and contemplate the terrifying consequences of skipping the boring parts of your life

(Hopefully this film won't be one of them!)

Surprise!

Apparently, our recent Adam Sandler fan vote, much like an impertinent AI, has escaped containment and is making our lives complicated. Uncut Gems was our winner, but Click somehow made it onto this month's schedule as well.. And now, a last-minute hole has opened up for this Wednesday, so this is us abusing our executive authority.

Full disclosure: I really can't stand Adam Sandler's movies.. and yet here he is, starring in one of my desert island picks.

This Wednesday we present PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE: Paul Thomas Anderson's deeply weird, core-clenchingly anxious, achingly beautiful romantic comedy, starring Sandler as a lonely novelty plunger salesman with seven sisters, some serious anger issues, and a mysterious little piano.

It's funny, uncomfortable, gorgeous, terrifying, and features what I think is Sandler's far and away best performance.

So: surprise. More Adam Sandler. But trust us on this one.

Our tribute to the late, great, and impossibly wonderful Tim Curry continues with the only movie brave enough to put him on a ship full of Muppets and to discover that, somehow, he's still the biggest freaking Muppet in the room.

Tim Curry throws absolutely everything into Long John Silver.. Singing, scheming, swashbuckling and chewing the scenery with such enthusiasm that it's difficult to imagine anyone else sharing the screen with him.

Join us for Muppet Treasure Island, this TUESDAY at Meteor Uniplex!

Pile began in the late 2000s as the solo project of Rick Maguire before growing into one of the most fiercely loved cult bands in American indie rock... eight albums of volatile, unpredictable songs, mangled guitars, sudden bursts of noise and Maguire’s unmistakable voice earning them the sort of devoted following that tends to turn casual listeners into evangelists.

Every once in a while, though, Rick strips it all back and heads out alone.

Tonight, we’re very excited to welcome Rick Maguire of Pile to Meteor for a rare solo performance, with Brainrust opening the night.

For fans of Spirit of the Beehive, Protomartyr, Truth Club, and music that’s a little difficult to neatly explain.

RICK MAGUIRE (PILE) / BRAINRUST
Tonight — September 12 at Meteor
Doors at 8pm

Tonight at Meteor: Dutch darkwave/post-punk project Bragolin joins forces with Madison, Wisconsin’s Carrellee for a night of dark, atmospheric synths, post-punk and dance-floor gloom. Bragolin’s melodic gothic sound has taken them to clubs and festivals around the world, with “Into Those Woods” becoming a modern darkwave staple, while Carrellee blends ethereal dream-pop, icy synths and dark electropop, drawing comparisons to Cocteau Twins and Kate Bush and sharing stages with IAMX, Drab Majesty, ACTORS and more. Asylum Windsor provides the house music between sets and keeps things going with a full-on dance party afterward. Brought to you by Happy Little Crowd & Asylum Windsor. For fans of Cocteau Twins, ACTORS and Drab Majesty. $20 • Doors at 8pm

Tonight is the return of the legendary Toast September Slam! The theme for this event is "Strange Juxtaposition"; a juxtaposition places two unlike things side by side to create contrast, surprise, or an unexpected meaning.

Entry to compete in the event is closed, but this event is absolutely open to the public, so come check out some of Windsor's incredible wordsmiths!

$10 cover, or pay what you can.

Four years after GREASE became a cultural phenomenon, somebody somewhere decided that what the world really needed was GREASE all over again... but without John Travolta, without Olivia Newton-John, and with a whole new crop of Rydell High kids singing about bowling (I think?), reproduction (maybe?) and wanting a 'cool rider' (I guess?)

Somehow, in the middle of this miasma is a 23-year-old Michelle Pfeiffer, doing her damnedest to become a movie star despite everything happening around her.

Grease 2. It's a thing that exists. Wednesday night at Meteor!

Straight outta Rotterdam.. IGUANA DEATH CULT bring their wild, fuzzed-out garage-punk attack to the Meteor stage!

Think OSEES, Ty Seagall and classic garage rock thrown into a friggin blender with post-punk, psych, surf, krautrock (what?) and just enough funk to justify us turning on the disco ball. They've toured with Frankie and the Witch Fingers, opened for Jack White, ripped through SXSW and Levitation, and now they're our problem.

Posh Toboggan is worth the price of admission all on their own, but you don't need us to tell you that.
