That clip does make me a lot more interested to see it - where as before, I could easily have given it a wide berth.

| Attending the Catastrophic Theatre Bluefinger play/rockopera this weekend, the last weekend if it does not get extended, which it should I think... based on the reviews. |

let us know how it was. i'm hoping they may take the show on the road one day. i'll love to get a chance to see it. i'm curious on how many songs they play off of bluefinger and how many are straight herman brood songs.

8 from Bluefinger and 8 by Brood (though one is his rewrite of a Nick Cave song). Plus small nods to The Pixies, Bob Dylan, Jim Croce, Golden Earring and The Bangles. |

Would like nothing more, but it's an expensive show to tour. There are 27 in the cast (including two full bands) plus 5 backstage crew. Add that to all the gear it takes (music, lights, sound, video, set, costumes, wigs, props) and it's more likely to be revived in another city than to go on tour. |

| This version of treshold apprehension sounds interesting, with those strange percussive noises. I'd like to hear more BF songs with that kind of arrangements. |

nice to see Golden Earring in here. Not that Brood was a fan that I'm aware off. But still, a dutch band from the same era.

It was really amazing. Jason Nodler and his theatre really put together something beautiful. I can't tell you how fortunate I feel having had an opportunity to see it. Turns out many of the people involved were performers I'd been aware of, or a fan of, from other projects. It was a really personal and moving experience on many levels for me and my group. My wife still goes on about how much we enjoyed ourselves. The cast was outstanding, the bands, yes bands, were fantastic.
From beginning to end, it was engaging, entertaining, provocative... and the music was just precision top drawer performance through and through.
The way the story unfolded in and around the music, and vice versa, was incredibly well thought out and inspiring. Having been to the Netherlands, and actually seen FB play there, and being such a big fan in general, the whole thing was really just moving. Great actors/performers, great music, well thought out presentation of an intriguing story of another culture's rock star.
Oh, and I got me a Dead Horse sticker. Probably could have gotten some Sprawl schwag but didn't see it. Lots of awesome Houston area music roots/ties in this.
And yes, Jason, if you haven't guessed, it's CrazyD here.

| Interesting links. I wonder if the writer/director, who posted above, was aware of them. I suppose any publicity is good publicity. |
