Saturday 3/16: The 9th Annual
BIZARRE-B-QUE!
Bee vs. Moth and The Center for Art Rock Policy (CARP) announce the 9th annual Bizarre-B-Que! This one-of-a-kind musical day party takes place Saturday, March 16, at Austin’s finest circus-themed bar, the Carousel Lounge.
The 2013 Bizarre-B-Que highlights the finest in weirdo rock and pop from Austin and around the world during the hubbub of the SXSW festival. Strings, horns, jazz, metal, and crooning balladry collide with gleeful abandon in a full day of musical merriment. Join us for a special BBQ sauce tasting event (BYOBBQ), and kick back to enjoy the welcoming, quirky atmosphere at the Carousel Lounge. The Bizarre-B-Que reliably showcases some of the best creative music Austin has to offer during this busy musical season.

7" Single:
"Josephine, Beauty Queen"
Sarah took a theme from our Cameraman soundtrack and spun it into a new song. Josephine played the part of Buster Keaton's monkey companion in The Cameraman, and our first vinyl pressing pays tribute to her impressive acting abilities. An alternate arrangement of Philip's "Tuesday in Tuskegee" appears on the B side. Sarah hand screenprinted every cover of this limited pressing. The artwork comes from a linocut print in which Sarah crowned our primate friend. Those of you without a place to spin a platter can hang this hand-made gem on the wall and use the included download code to grab mp3s of the music. Visit our store to get your hands on the custom pink vinyl. Other digital downloads of this limited release will not be made available.

Live Original Film Score:
The Oyster Princess
The Oyster Princess (1919) is a tale of vanity, excess, extravagant wealth, and mistaken identity. Our newest silent film score project was selected by the SXSW Film Festival. That premier was a packed-house success, and we've since reprised the film at the historic Texas Theatre in Dallas, Discovery Green in Houston, and at the 2012 NMASS Festival in Austin. This glimpse of the debut performance was captured by an audience member. |

Discussing The Cameraman score with KUHA Public Radio in Houston
In November 2011, as part of their Silent Film Concert Series, Houston Public Radio presented our live film score to Buster Keaton’s 1928 comedy The Cameraman (1928). The day of the concert, we appeared on The Front Row to play selections from our original score and discuss how the project came together.

"Ugly is the New Black"
This song from Acronyms features Aaryn, and so does the video. It's about a boy, his guitar, and his delusional mental instability. And a toaster. Our friend Stephen Floyd wrote and directed the video. Check out our other videos. |

Pictures at an Exhibition
Hear a demo recording!
Pictures at an Exhibition was written by Modest Mussorgsky (Night on Bald Mountain) for solo piano in 1874. Pictures has been orchestrated and interpreted by other composers (most notably Ravel) and even a couple of bands (Emerson Lake and Palmer, Mekong Delta). So it's time we put our signature on one of classical music's most beloved, recognized, and walked-around-a-museum-to pieces! More Info about our double band version with The Invincible Czars. |
