Half-Cocked is a 1995 film that documented the DIY underground music scene in and around

Louisville Kentucky in the early ’90’s. It was a vibrant, creative community that had a powerful impact on musicians around the world. This show will celebrate the art and the artists associated

with that scene, then and now.

Shooting Blanks : The Art of Half-Cocked will feature work by the Half-Cocked filmmakers

Suki Hawley & Michael Galinsky (RUMUR), as well as past and current work from the cast, crew and artists connected to the scene documented in the film. The exhibition will include screenings of Half-Cocked, other Rumur films, and a slideshow + Q&A on Galinsky’s photo book “Decline of Mall Civilization.”

In 1995, the Half-Cocked soundtrack was released on Matador Records.

The cast included members of the bands :

Rodan, The Sonora Pine, June of 44, Ruby Falls, LungFish, Slint, Nation of Ulysses, Shipping News, Boondoggle, The Grifters, Sleepyhead, Freakwater and Crain.
