For details see www.slamdance.com

The Slamdance Birthday Party is 21 and over. Tickets are available at Brewvies in Salt Lake City, Madstone and the Slamdance Box Office at the Treasure Mountain Inn.

DJ Money Mark is also featured in one of the festival¹s competition
documentaries: BRUCE HAACK: KING OF TECHNO . (USA, 69 min., Documentary,
2003) directed by Philip Anagnos. (WORLD PREMIERE) The underground world of homespun musician Bruce Haack comes alive with mind-blowing visuals, wild music and far out stories. For more information about the film see: http://www.haackmovie.com/

There will be a Haack Release party at Shaggys Living Room on Thursday, January 22nd at 155 W 200, in Salt Lake City. The show features talent from the film including performances by Money Mark, DJ Me DJ You and DJ Haack. Cover is $10. Doors open at 9pm.

"Bruce Haack was more into having a ' telepathic following' than money or
fame-- Money Mark & Dj Me Dj You are some of today's artists proving that theory by unselfishly supporting his legacy. And now Slamdance, with their dedication to supporting underdog artists, is the untimate stage to showcase Bruce's following,"
says director Philip Anagnos.

" Slamming a load of Progressive Funk to a load of Progressive film makers is my idea of a good time! Get the beer chillin', I'm on my way" -- D:Fuse www.djdfuse.com
