I'm sure I've posted about him before, but Aquirax Uno (aka Akira Uno) is one of my favorite artists. Lucas and I have an amazing video production he worked on on VHS, which is in storage at the moment- I've been meaning to watch it again and put some clips on YouTube. He's not very well known in America, and his works aren't available from any US sources. It's tempting to purchase his books from Amazon.co.jp, but shipping costs more than the book itself...
Last night, Lucas and I had a great time performing at
Foreign Affairs, hosted by
Daniel Isengart. He did some amazing Klaus Nomi covers, and I had stars in my eyes when he performed, as usual.
Amber Ray gave a brilliant burlesque performance of transforming into a Monarch butterfly. The costuming and performance was reminiscent of Weimar era cabaret, which I loved- but her adorable smile was signature Amber Ray. I was also thrilled to witness a performance by
Nicole Renaud, who sang beautifully with French chanson solo accordion accompaniment. I don't think we'll be performing there again next week, but we will probably go just to enjoy the show. I was so glad dear
Mashinka and Jeremy were able to join us for the occasion. Jeremy was our music coach that evening, and decided our first album should be entitled "MSG".
