An inside look at the Elephant 6 Recording Co., the ’90s rock collective that launched Neutral Milk Hotel, The Olivia Tremor Control, The Apples in Stereo, and other bands. Around 1985, a group of Louisiana high schoolers began experimenting with whatever random instruments and gear they could find. Influenced by psychedelia, and with little to distract them, they birthed a musical revolution.

This one-time screening is the only booked showing of The Elephant 6 Recording Co. in South Dakota. It’s also the kickoff to a week of musical events leading up to the inaugural South by South Dakota music festival on Nov 11. Learn more about SXSD here: https://fb.me/e/hha4yHTKq

There will be a Q&A with Gregory King, producer and editor of Elephant 6, following the screening. King was also a touring member of the indie classical band rachel’s in the 1990s.

Tickets to Elephant 6 are $10. Get them at the door or purchase ahead at vermilliontheaters.com
