RED WANTING BLUE | LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN

Josh Bloom of Fanatic Promotion signed Red Wanting Blue to Fanatic Records and released three of the band’s albums in addition to handling its national publicity. One of the highlights of the run was this “Late Show with David Letterman” appearance and a stop at VH1’s “Big Morning Buzz” program amid a sold-out show at NYC’s Bowery Ballroom.

FANATIC CO-PRESENTS THE THEATRICAL RELEASE OF DOCUMENTARY FILM “QUEERCORE: HOW TO PUNK A REVOLUTION”

Variety reports: “Altered Innocence has picked up the U.S. rights to Yony Leyser’s third feature film ‘Queercore: How To Punk A Revolution,’ Variety has learned exclusively. The film, an official selection of Outfest Los Angeles, Frameline, and DOC NYC marks the second all-rights deal for newcomer Altered Innocence and the second film in its catalog from Leyser. A theatrical release with the partnership of Josh Bloom’s Fanatic is planned for late 2018.”

“Queercore,” the cultural and social movement that began as an offshoot of punk was distinguished by its discontent with society's disapproval of the gay, bisexual, lesbian and transgender communities. Interviewees discuss homophobia, gender, feminism, AIDS, assimilation, sex, and, of course, art. The extensive participant list includes Bruce LaBruce, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, John Waters, Justin Vivian Bond, Pansy Division, Kathleen Hanna, Kim Gordon, Team Dresch, and many more.
