Filmmakers Suki Hawley and Michael Galinsky will release two of their films on one DVD through their Rumur imprint on February 13.

Half-Cocked (1994) is a 16mm black-and-white film about kids who form a band and tour the country in a stolen van, and it features appearances from Tara Jane O'Neil (Retsin, Rodan, Sonora Pine), Ian Svenonius (Nation of Ulysses, the Make-Up, Weird War), Cynthia Nelson (Retsin, Ruby Falls), and other members of Nation of Ulysses, Rodan, the Grifters, and Lungfish.

The second film, Radiation (1998), portrays a Spanish tour promoter for American bands. It was shot in Spain and features cameos from Will Oldham and members of Stereolab and Come.

Bonus materials in the two-feature DVD package include a making-of documentary, music videos for Gaunt, Spaceheads, Standard, and Red House Blues, and over 400 photos.
