Kingdom of Not is absurdist writer/performer Dan Carbone and surrealistic one-man band, Andrew Goldfarb and special guest performer Baby-Ding-Dong. They sing from their hearts and play from their guts about demon children, demon blackbirds, demon dogs, demon Eskimos and most of other popular demon themes beloved by all the people. THE ONLY EXHIBITION OF ITS TYPE IN NORTH AMERICA! “KoN gets under your skin, and into your brain.” Ben Graham/ The Quietus (U.K.) “It’s magnificent stuff!” – Kramer (Bongwater/ Shimmy Disc) "A Riotously Funny Two-Headed Sideshow Assault!” -SF Weekly
Plonsey Scheme is a collaboration between Dan Plonsey (compositions and structures for improvisation) and Mantra Plonsey (words, song), in which neither tells the other what they're going to do until it happens. Dan has a pedigree over which he constantly trips, while Mantra repeatedly fails to prove that she is not a robot. A third collaborator, Kattt Atchley, is responsible for projecting images of tableaux of dolls (still or on turntables) with backdrops of art. The three will be joined by Cory Wright, reeds; Fred Lonborg-Holm, cello; and Tomek Sinclair, guitar.
Victoria Victrola (she/her) is the front woman of Victoria and the Vaudevillains. She throws the occasional whimsical boozy tea party, the occasional séance, owns 3 Victrolas, surprisingly zero cats, and never enough books. You can often find her standing still, falling down stairs, and pounding on the piano. Her music ranges from soft and whispery to clangy bangy piano rock. She is, much to her own disappointment, not the author of Sweet Valley High.
