Redd Kross Documentary Screening at Monty Hall

White Eagle Hall’s shift toward garage rock and power pop included Redd Kross’s visit in July. The California band promoted their self-titled album, a top pick for the year, blending punk, British psychedelia, Beatles-inspired tunes, hair metal, and alternative music. The documentary “Born Innocent: The Redd Kross Story” will screen at Monty Hall on December 22. WFMU deejay Evan “Funk” Davies will host a Q&A with Dan Epstein, co-author of “Now You’re One of Us: The Incredible Story of Redd Kross.”

White Eagle Hall and WFMU’s Connection

2024 marks a strong collaboration between White Eagle Hall and WFMU. Since 2017, White Eagle Hall has featured acts that resonate with WFMU’s audience. Recent events have closely aligned, highlighting guitar-pop and influential music styles. WFMU’s deejays encourage individuality, not conforming to trends. This synergy may enrich Jersey City’s music scene in the upcoming year.
