A LIBRARY WITHOUT BORDERS

Global rhythm, local legends

From Tokyo jazz cellars to Kingston dancehalls, AmpItUp spans genres, geographies, and generations. Dive into cinematic stories where every scene pulses with music’s raw power.

Shock 'Em Dead

1991 - A struggling musician makes a deal with the devil for fame and fortune, only to discover that success comes with a bloody price. Former adult star Traci Lords headlines this outrageous blend of horror, comedy, and heavy metal mayhem, while Stephen Quadros plays the guitarist-turned-killer at the center of the chaos. Shock ’Em Dead is a cult favorite from the early ’90s – filled with gore, glam, and headbanging rock energy.

Deep Sea Blues

2007 - Roger Naber's Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise is considered the "Woodstock of the Waves," offering the finest in traditional and contemporary music. Robert Mugge's 2-hour DEEP SEA BLUES captures the January 2007 Caribbean cruise. Smooth sailing, indeed!

Machine Gun Mama

1944 - Two Americans stranded in Mexico with an elephant try to sell their animal to a traveling carnival. Low-budget comedy with songs and a misleading title.

Spotlight:

Bells of San Angelo

Bells of San Angelo finds Roy Rogers battling smugglers who are funneling silver across the border under the cover of mining. With help from his loyal horse Trigger, his sweetheart Dale Evans, and comic sidekick Andy Devine, Rogers balances action, romance, and music in a quintessential B-Western. Directed by William Witney, the film blends gunfights, western ballads, and a dash of comedy into a family-friendly frontier adventure.
