A Tale of Two Houses documents a special window of time in Tucson music history between the years of 1984 - 1986. The movie specifically focuses on two party houses located on the busiest corner in Tucson, conveniently located next to the only late-night restaurant in town. These two houses (814 and 818 East Speedway) were the hub of the Tucson DIY music scene as local and touring bands often played there. A Tale of Two Houses is a love letter to an era long gone. It's a coming of age examination of how young people, who found themselves outside of the mainstream, found each other, their tribe and inspiration in a pre-digital age. Featuring live performance footage and soundtrack music from Tucson music legends River Roses, Phantom Limbs, Rainer, Al Perry, Naim Amor, Los Hamsters, The Deadbolts and more. (Dir. by Chris Carlone, 2023, USA, Not Rated)
