At Last! Performing with a wide array
of home made instruments, industrial waste percussion, and the legacy
of John Kane, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
presents to you a highly orchestrated and visceral set of musical
exhibits. Whether it be an epic 10 minute crescendo warning the listener
that Sleep Is Wrong, the intimate testimony of a Baby Doctor, or the
inspired plea to party like its 1997, all the exhibits presented by
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum serve as a constant reminder that The Museum
of the Future Hides the Past!!!
Prior to the first opening of the Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, two curators,
guitarist/vocalist Nils Frykdahl
and bassist/instrument builder Dan Rathbun
performed for 10 years in the legendary art rock band Idiot
Flesh. After the untimely demise of Idiot Flesh in 1998, fellow
curators violinist/vocalist Carla Kihlstedt
(Tin Hat Trio/Charming Hostess), industrial waste percussionist
Moe! Staiano, and drummer Dave
Shamrock joined the museum staff to assist in the very first
opening and closing of the Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. This first opening
and closing occurred two years ago. The sole observer that evening
was a banana slug (true story!). In November 2000, drum curator
Frank Grau (Species being) replaced former curator Shamrock
and the current version of the museum staff was born.
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum has now just presented its first recorded
exhibit entitled "Grand Opening and
Closing." They will be touring consistently throughout
2001 and 2002 while also working on future recorded exhibits. |
