This Friday May 29, Rooftop Films features “DARK TOONS” Animated short films that bring the still to life with an Open Bar After Party! The official breakdown of animated shorts hasnt been posted, but expect some seriously twisted cartoons to warp your mind and get under your skin.  Not quite as dark as the toons the bike shop owner in Different Strokes made Arnold and his friend watch but last years films featured a dead dog, a band of vengeful headless f#ck toys, and refigerator lights vs. magic broomsticks. Things got weird. In the odd chance the toons cant get you in a rummy mood, the opening band Javelin should scratch your itch.  I dont really even know how to describe them. They call their sound “tropical crunk” influenced by chaka demus,tom tom club,kraftwerk,dollar bin dance records,transcendent amateurs, providence, regional dance music, local partying, new edition, smokey robinson, junk shops, flea markets, endless loop tapes and… cousinship. mmmm k.
