DEAD BIRD MOVEMENT
PERFORMING AT SOMEDAY
Friday, Jan 5th › 9pm › $5
St. Vitus Dance Club featuring Seattle experimental theater and movement troupes IMPLIED VIOLENCE and DEAD BIRD MOVEMENT with music from FLASPAR, FRANK DUFAY, and ESCAPE FROM KEYBOARD ISLAND
We're getting back to the plan on St. Vitus Dance Club, housing the most deranged mad scientists of club music and bringing them into collaborative therapy with troupes of dance and movement zealots from across the stylistic matrix. Seattle's kissing cousins of radical performance—dance soloist Dead Bird Movement and theatrical strike team Implied Violence—are teaming up to visit the town that loves them most (Reno), and dropping in at Someday on the way.
Likewise dropping in are a slinky syndicate of synthesizists known as Flaspar, Frank Dufay, and Escape From Keyboard Island. Theirs is an otherworldly peyote dream of low-tech experimental groove, just the thing to raise the roof on our padded room.
