Screening location: Here-After (21+) – alley entrance, 2505 1st Ave, Seattle

Over 25 years and 10 studio albums—using powerful sonic force mixed with subtlety and grace—Mogwai have defined their own musical genre and built a cult following. IF THE STARS HAD A SOUND takes us on a journey from their very beginnings, in the mid 1990s, to creating their tenth studio album in their hometown of Glasgow in 2020. While at first seemingly impossible to make, they ultimately made history with it.

Please note: Here-After is a 21 and over establishment. The entrance is via the alley in back of The Crocodile building. Get there early to order tasty beverages from the bar and delicious food from Tat’s Deli!

“Glaswegian cacophonists Mogwai have earned the right to an adulatory documentary – and they get one here, directed by former photographer Antony Crook… it truly soars when capturing them live.” Phil Hoad, The Guardian

“The documentary presents a beautiful picture of community surrounding the band – and isn’t community what music is meant to create?” Jenny Nulf, Austin Chronicle
