MOCA is starting up a six-week film series tomorrow night at their The Geffen Contemporary location in Little Tokyo and who better to be there to play a music set than Henry Rollins? The film screened will be "Underground Forces," a film about the early punk scene with footage of Black Flag, the Cramps, etc. Rollins will be on for two hours from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. The movie will start shoryly after. It's free with that day's museum admission ($10 or $5 for students w/ID), so take advantage of that and peruse the galleries while you're there since it stays open late until 11:00 p.m.
