And We Shall March

Alpert Award Micro Site On Rev. Billy / Church of Life After Shopping Is Awesome (if a bit weirdly organized).

I already told you that Rev. Billy and the entire choir are coming to perform this Thursday at REDCat. 8 p.m. show sold out quickly, so a 10 p.m. show was added. I have no idea if that's sold out yet, but tix are only $12, so go!

The show is part of their West Coast tour, but is also tied to some sort of grant award. The administrators launched a micro-site featuring all of this year's honorees, and the one featuring the CoLAS is pretty cool. Below, links to each section.

“I was arrested reciting the First Amendment in Union Square Park and understood I had no choice about my work anymore, that being an artist meant rising to the radical promise of the First Amendment itself. The Freedom there is our great Commons – and now I spend my time defending it, expanding it." - Bill Talen

Tonight! Douglas & Nicole Kearney At The RedCat!

They got a bit of blurbage in the LAT today. Yay!

Douglas Kearney & Anne LeBaron SciFi Musical July 31 - August 2 @ The RedCat! (aka this week) Hope To See You There!

Before heading off for the ritual 18 Hours Of Sleep, allow me to share this cut/paste:

ANNE LEBARON / DOUGLAS KEARNEY: SUCKTION
Award-winning composer Anne LeBaron and provocative writer Douglas Kearney present the story of a woman’s cyber-erotic transformation from abject housewife into a self-sufficient cyborg in this theatrical song cycle. Written for the ensemble soNu, Sucktion features a female vocalist supported by percussion, laptop and a musical appliance as it traces the radical reinvention of one woman’s persona via the subversive use of a vacuum cleaner.

“Uncommon imagination and technical skill.” The Washington Post

Douglas Kearney Live @ Redcat On Tuesday (Also Known As Tomorrow)!

One should never skip a chance to once again rave about the fabulous  and wicked talented to the max Douglas Kearney, especially when he shall be featured in performance at the RedCat with novelist Steve Erickson tomorrow night, and it's only $8 to get in!

At his website, you can download a free chapbook and other items, or listen to recordings of some of his performances.

This reminds me that I did not write up his last performance at the RedCat which involved him, his lovely wife, two microphones and Indiana Jones. It was hilarious. Must do that. I have pictures! And notes! Somewhere. I'll look.

Meanwhile, here's an arty shot. I'm proud of this one...took it on the fly.

 

 

Heh.

Because I haven't gotten around to writing up Douglas & Nicole's performance at the RedCat, you don't know why this is particularly funny. You will once I get to it. Meanwhile, must send this to them!
