RIO STAFF SELECTS MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE: LIFE ON THE MURDER SCENE (2006) 

As pioneers of emo rock and youth subculture My Chemical Romance embark on a worldwide tour, come and celebrate the return of 2006 at the Rio Cinema with a screening of the documentary MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE: LIFE ON THE MURDER SCENE. Screening Thursday 2nd July, 8:15, in the Rio’s screen one, this is a very rare opportunity to see the infamous documentation of the band's early touring life on the big screen. Although their first album, I Brought You My Bullets You Brought Me Your Love, earned them a cult following, it was My Chemical Romance’s sophomore project, Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, which catapulted them to the status of emo icons. With their clearly defined, comic book and horror film influenced aesthetics, they turned a generation onto the joys of black eyeliner and angst. Life On The Murder Scene chronicles this turbulent period in the band's rise to success, both on tour and at home. Featuring interviews with the band and those closest to them, and with uncompromised access to their lives, Life On The Murder Scene is essential viewing for any fan of My Chemical Romance or anyone curious about the emo lifestyle. This screening of Life On The Murder Scene will include the 2006 documentary in its entirety alongside a selection of My Chemical Romance music videos. A themed zine and badges will be available for sale Life On The Murder scene is curated by Rio staff members Molly Miles (@taxidermybreakfast) and Leonidas (@leonidas_pxx).
