Here, Kitty Kitty Update (02/20/08)

The world premiere for Here, Kitty Kitty (Madison's Majestic Theater 2/28, 7:30 p.m.) just got a whole lot funkier.


The Twin Cities' Har Mar Superstar takes the stage after the screening, along with another special musical guest (to be announced). Music Critic.com says, "They broke the mould when they made Har Mar Superstar. There’s been nothing like him before and his blend of rock, soul, kitsch and love is unlikely to be matched."

Best of all, if you come to see Here, Kitty Kitty, you can stick around for the Har Mar Superstar concert for no extra charge. So, come for the movie, meet the filmmakers, and bring your dancing shoes.

UPDATE 2/25/2008: The Majestic has confirmed that Madison's own hip hop outfit Dumate will open for Har Mar Superstar. So, it's the world premiere of Here, Kitty Kitty at 7:30, questions and answers with the film-makers at 8:30, reception at 9:00, Dumate, then Har Mar Superstar. If that ain't a night out on the town, we don't know what is! ^ TOP
