Ghosts! Of Christmas past The Creepy Twins (AKA Taylor Project) w/ Soundfossil /BJ Morriszonkle+Nero Friktschn Feuerherdt @The Old Bar Tuesday December 17th
A night of classically creepy country ghost songs (Ghost Riders, Long Black Veil etc.); sad country Christmas songs (Christmas in Prison, So Much Wine etc); and other songs and stories about haunted objects. Haunted houses, haunted violins, haunted mitochondrial cells. Also, “every ghost song is a love song”, as they (specifically David Foster Wallace) say. In songs can be found ghosts of our own lives, ghosts in the machine, the ghosts of aborted futures, the “persistence of the no longer”. Ghost towns, ghost Facebook pages, and that colossal plane of things hidden, lost, or left out of place and time. Christmas brings these into sharper focus.
With: Soundfossil, who play opulent, insolent chamber-folk to enjoy with eyes closed - Titanic-foyer muzak for the new 20's, a decade whose mascara is already running.
And: BJ Morriszonkle and Nero Friktschn Feuerherdt who are actual ghosts - confused and upsetting, but actual ghosts. They might play music (harmonium included) or just walk through the walls.
Finally: The Creepy Twins (AKA Taylor Project) will bring folk-nerd songs as a proto-musical-theatre show about the Elmore house and the strange Christmases, tales and dreams had within it, including dead possums, talking walls, and cursed guitars.
We will bring our own ghost stories, and you are invited to bring yours for zine contribution or stage presentation.
Tuesday December 17th at The Old Bar Johnson Street Fitzroy
From 7:30pm. Other details TBD.
