“Rebel Scum” documentary on The Dirty Works to get a screening

without comments

Finally … “Rebel Scum” gets its due.

That kick-ass, long-in-the-works documentary about Knoxville band The Dirty Works, which has been roughly five years in the making, now has a local screening date — Saturday, Jan. 16 at Patrick Sullivan’s Saloon, 100 N. Central St. in Knoxville’s Old City. No word on an exact time or whether there will be an admission charge, but we’ll let you know as soon as we know.

In the meantime, the band is ramping up for a busy 2010, frontman Christopher Scum tells us: “We have the movie premiering in several cities, we have the 7 song EP called ‘Get Wrecked’ coming out, and I will have a brutally honest CD coming out by spring called ‘Tracks,’” he said. “It’s gonna have eight or 10 new songs on it, and then I’m gonna put some old stuff (maybe never before released) on there; I’m thinking about 18-20 songs.”

The last time we wrote about the documentary, he described it as thus: “We just got in the van, went to our gigs across the South and it all got captured on film. Now they’re going to put it in some documentary form. It could be great, or I could hate it, I don’t know.”
