Austin's
Invincible Czars have made their mark by creating
exceptionally original music: songs and instrumental pieces
that are like four-to-five minute "mini-symphonies" chock
full |
 |
of
memorable melodies, meticulous arrangements,
dynamics, and humor. Their music fuses all kinds of
styles including riff rock, classical music,
loungey grooves, spacey klezmer, country shuffles,
and circusy polka. They draw from influences as
disparate as Igor Stravinsky, Van Halen, Louis
Armstrong, The Melvins and Ween. The band applies
the DIY attitude of post-punk groups like NoMeansNo
and Fugazi to their musical explorations.
The Invincible Czars strive to do more than the
standard rock band playing in night clubs. In the
past few years, they have known and lauded for their
arrangements of classical works such as
Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite
which has become a holiday tradition. They have ventured
into the realm of dance and short film. They
have also created new scores for silent movies and
performed them live. In the eight years of
existence, |
|
|
the band has performed at
private events, nightclubs, parks, theaters,
community centers, television stations and radio
studios from San Francisco to New Orleans. |
