SF IndieFest: The Icarus Line Must Die

Fifteen years ago the band, Icarus Line, was rocketing to the top of the LA underground with a hot debut album and a major-label deal. Now frontman Joe Cardamone is 36 and broke, and the record companies won’t touch his new stuff. Plus, he’s getting death threats by text. Cardamone and director Michael Grodner wrote the script and plays a thinly veiled version of himself in this No Wave-style noir about navigating the modern music biz, co-starring fellow musicians Ariel Pink and Keith Morris (Circle Jerks). The screening will also feature a live musical performance by Joe Cardamone and Annie Hardy.
