The advent of summer and the music festival season are now just mere days away, and whether you secured your tickets or not, a Melbourne institution is offering an impressive lineup all of its own.

Films starring punk heroes Cosmic Psychos, Britpop forefathers The Stone Roses, Russian music protestors Pussy Riot, cult punks Death, and even Spinal Tap are to set to entertain audiences of Melbourne’s open air cinema, The Shadow Electric, for its 2014 programme.

The Shadow Electric has already proven its strong musical ties, having just completed its third annual season of live gigs, with shows from The Ape, The Hello Morning, and a Courtney Barnett EP launch warming up the venue’s Band Room last month.

Now the open air cinema, located in the oldest building at The Abbotsford Convent, has locked in a summer cinema programme that features a number of highlights that music fans are sure to seize upon amongst its selection of new films (Gravity, Before Midnight), cult favourites (The Karate Kid, Clerks), and stone cold classics (The Big Lebowski, Sunset Boulevard).
