Good afternoon,
I first want to thank all of you that made it out to see The Rockae. There was some great press. (Check out my previous post for links!) The day after Rockae closed I was in the studio rehearsing for two shows I have this week with Spectre Box. The band consists of Dana Haynes on piano, Kent Thompson on guitar, Eric Day on bass and myself on drums. The music consists of some smart originals plus some great covers like Bjork’s Bachlorette and a folky version of Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy.
Spectre Box is the pure, “from scratch” collaboration of those who live to hunt, conjure and spawn new theatre. A collage of Weimar cabaret, burlesque, dance, music, Lecoq, Feldenkrais, vaudeville, and, most of all, the gems and detritus of our collective imagination, Spectre Box spins out a haunting, taunting, darkly hilarious NYC of our dreams and nightmares. It is pitch black performance with tragic, comedic, beautiful, sexy women that may or may not be ghosts in this theatrical seance. Spectre Box is not a safe place to be, but you will want to come in.
“Touched” is a choreographed happening; equal parts Weimar cabaret, rock ‘n roll, theatrical explosion and underground party.
