‘Never Mind The Babel’

AKA ‘Grinning’ Release Party at OAF - May 20

Travel back 100 years ago and all anyone can utter at the twisted towers and the unbalanced lifestyles between the rich and the poor is ‘damn this dystopia!’

Today we gaze over contorted cities and think much the same. Fritz Lang brought you Metropolis and we bring you our own adaptation…

Chiaroscuro lighting, German Expressionism and its association with a dystopian world was probably something you heard a thousand times in English class. Well, we say that perhaps your English teacher was onto something. Maybe this brooding dystopia is a timeless concept, kept in a state of reoccurrence by the constant ups and downs of the world… or maybe teach just didn’t have anyone else to talk to this crap about.

Anywhom to celebrate the release of our upcoming single ‘GRINNING,’ we ask that people dress in the theme of this German expressionistic era. Heavy eyeliner, gothic makeup and dark clothes. A good reference point is either Murnau’s Nosferatu, Wiene’s Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and of course Metropolis.

A special reward will be given for the best dressed, curated by our very own ‘beach dude’ (a soon to be met character in this chronicle of upcoming releases), and the ever mysterious enigma Magoo. We are very excited to see what all you fandangly creatives come up with.

Ellen and The Ooroos along with Civic Video will be bringing a raucous blast of Mock ‘n’ Roll to remind you that despite the climb in interest rates, rent, and groceries, you still have your head, legs, arms, voice, and spirit — and I’m sure you already know what to with them.

This will also be the last show in a while before Jarrah and Jordan embark on a journey to Europe, so come send them off in style.

Love,

Jordan & Band n HIJINX ALLEY x
