…on the big screen, anyway. Chain Gang’s centuries in the making “Mondo Manhattan” receives a screening Saturday, March 3 at 1pm as part of NYC’s Demented Film Festival . You really don’t want to know what kind of VIP gift bag opportunities there are at this event.

This monumental occasion comes very quickly on the heels of Chain Gang’s Ricky Luanda releasing a limited edition 7″ to accompany the deluxe paperback of Boo-Hooray’s “Ed Wood’s Sleaze Paperbacks”. WIth all due respect to Lana Del Rey, Jeremy Lin and Rick Santorum with this flurry of activity, 2012 is quickly shaping up to be The Year Of Chain Gang.

If this isn’t enough to spearhead a U68 revival, I don’t know what it will take.  Thanks to Ricky Luanda for providing a link to the above clip for Chain Gang‘s ‘Cut Off The Drug Czar’s Head”, as heard on the 1993 Matador CD, ‘Perfumed’ (and more recently, on our sprawltastic ‘Matador At 21′ box set)

…and it’s not “The Dark Knight”, “Hancock” or even “Space Chimps”.  Instead, much like the rest of you, I’m breathlessly awaiting the release of Chain Gang‘s long-awaited “Mondo Manhattan”. There’s every chance I’ll be writing these same words 12 months from now, but there’s worse things than watching this trailer, or basking in Ricky Luanda’s spirited narration.

Mark Ohe claims that Urban Outfitter is selling the following item :

I do hope this isn't a hoax (much as I wish the City Of Boston would actually learn how to define "hoax").

Chain Gang Unleashes a Teaser!? We Want Our Mondo Manhattan!

By Chris on Saturday, September 2nd, 2006

25 years in the making El Chain gives us a glimpse of the genius moves to come with a trailer for Mondo Manhattan! The backstory to the cult behind Son of Sam! Murders! Torture! Dr. Mabuse!

Ricky, I sent in my 5 bucks for that VHS 18 years ago! I guess with inflation and compounded interest, that’ll still be good for the more expensive and expanded DVD format when it is eventually released!
