In Omaha tonight, All Young Girls Are Machine Guns will play a Maha Music Festival showcase at Bridge Beats with Omaha singer/songwriters Kait Berreckman and CJ Mills. Ahead of the show, a few fellow Omaha artists collaborated on a remix track for the Omaha soul band.

Producer Keith Rodger aka Kethro remixed “Snake In The Tree,” with guest rapping by M34n Str33t emcee Conchance. The rearranged track features added percussion and reverb and Conchance’s powerfully-delivered rhymes.

Catch All Young Girls Are Machine Guns at Maha Music Festival next Saturday, and be on the lookout for an announcement on their vinyl release show soon.

The remixed “Snake In The Tree” will be available for purchase at the 6 p.m. show tonight (RSVP here). Hear it here first:

Omaha independent theater Film Streams continues its “Sights On Sounds” series Sunday night with The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years. Here’s a brief synopsis from the event listing

“While the first installment in the decline series was an earnest document of artists on the margins, part two casts an ironic gaze on the fans and practitioners of pop metal. Profiling artists, managers and rabid fans, the documentary is a harsh and frequently funny look at a loud, rude, sexy, sexist and anti-authoritarian LA scene. Interviews with Poison, Faster Pussycat, KISS, Ozzy Osbourne, and Aerosmith will delight.”

The screening begins at 7 p.m. Sunday night. Get ticket information at filmstreams.org.
