About this Event
The Electric Sock Hop, a weeklong pop-up produced by Desmond's Tiki Tube Amps, is pleased to host a viewing of the classic surf film Point Break, starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze.
One of the great spirited movies of its age, Point Break follows Johnny Utah (Reeves) as an undercover FBI agent who...has to surf to break up a crime ring.
It's classic, it's rousing, it's a little silly. Just our style 👍
The film will be showcased on DVD (ha!) projected through an HD projector, with sound playback through a custom-built Tiki Tube Amp and brand-new Atomic Hi-Fi Speakers handmade by Desmond's Tiki Tube Amps.
