Gossip Wolf has been impatiently waiting for the release of the full-length Wax Trax! Records documentary since first hearing in 2015 that it was in the works. On Saturday, April 1, the Vic presents two screenings of a rough cut of the flick—these days bearing the title Industrial Accident: The Story of Wax Trax! Records. Each screening will be followed by a Q&A with a different panel of label luminaries, including Dead Kennedys front man Jello Biafra, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult singer Groovie Mann, Paul Barker of Lead Into Gold, and Barker’s Ministry and Revolting Cocks bandmate Chris Connelly. Plus the previous Friday night, three gothy clubs host DJ nights featuring Wax Trax! associates: Bauhaus and Love & Rockets bassist David J at Late Bar, Richard 23 and Patrick Codenys of Front 242 at Berlin, and Biafra at Liar’s Club.
Update: Alex Wiley has canceled the remainder of his tour “to address ongoing personal issues,” according to an announcement posted on Twitter on March 28.
