The documentary I'll Sleep When I'm Dead --which takes a compelling look into the life and mind of STEVE AOKI, one of dance music's most hardworking, controversial and captivating characters-is set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City Friday, April 15 at the Beacon Theatre.  The screening will be followed by an exclusive conversation with AOKI and a live performance where fans and movie goers can experience the music that was created during the film.  Details for the Tribeca Film Festival can be found here, while ticket information for the Beacon will be made available at www.steveaoki.com/tribeca.  

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead was shot during the making of his Neon Future double album (Dim Mak/Ultra Music, 2014/15).
