Filmed in 1968 by Charles Burwell, Deuce Is Wild is a 4-5 minute color promotional film that documented Houston garage band Deuce Is Wild. The film featured the group playing at The Catacombs Club, Love Street Light Circus and Feel Good Machine, among others, and also highlighted other abstract images - as the face on the wall photos below aptly illustrate. Deuce Is Wild performs the song "You're All Around Me." Other than lead guitarist Clark Clem, not much more is recalled about the group.
The film was screened at a film festival at Rice University in 1968 where it claimed second place, and was shortly afterwards aired on KPRC-TV Channel 2. According to filmmaker Burwell: "In mothballs for over thirty years, the film, Deuce Is Wild, enjoyed only a few other audiences around that period of time." |
