(Knitting Factory) The Knitting Factory in conjunction with the Royal Flush Festival is proud to present Melissa Auf der Maur in a rare NYC appearance, her first since her 2004 debut solo album.

Known for her work with both Smashing Pumpkins and Hole as well as her heralded solo work, Auf der Maur is offering the Royal Flush Festival a sneak peek of her self-produced new project Out Of Our Minds, a multi-media concept album featuring an album, comic and film directed and edited by Tony Stone.

"I can't think of a better way to share this multi-faceted creation than by playing Knitting Factory and screening at Anthology Film Archives as part of the hard rocking Royal Flush Festival," said Auf der Maur. "My wicked new live band and I are determined to make a lasting and loud impression on New York City and friends of Royal Flush."

Opening for Melissa Auf der Maur are Blacklist, Mike Edison and the Space Liberation Army featuring legendary guitarist Gary Lucas (Captain Beefheart�s Magic Band, Jeff Buckley), and Black Taxi. Edison's show is based on stories of sex and drugs from his new book, I Have Fun Everywhere I Go.

The Royal Flush Festival celebrates its fifth year as NYC's coolest event for independent film. The festival is a four-day event with feature length docs and narratives, short films, horror, music videos and animation. In addition to a great lineup of movies, they also host underground art events, live music shows and interactive panels throughout the weekend.
