A BAND CALLED DEATH

Death was ahead of its time, and several other dimensions — it was a musical concoction too strange
and wonderful to ever get the notoriety it deserved. The film A Band Called Death chronicles the story
of th e Hackney brothers, a trio of African American Detroit natives who — crossing musical and cultur-
al boundaries — pounded out punk jams in their parents’ house in the early 1970s. A record was born,
the critics fawned ... and then it all melted away. Thirty years later, filmmakers Mark Christopher Covino
and Jeff Howlett followed the trail. Their film will be screened at 1 p.m. — followed by a Q&A with the
band — at the Cranbrook Art Museum deSalle Auditorium, Bloomfield Hills. Cranbrookartmuseum.org.
