of support and hospitality to the Invincible Czars!About The Invincible Cz
ars: In the past few years, The Invincible Czars have become known and lau
ded for their sprawling catalog of original material as well as for arrang
ements of classical works such as Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite and1812 O
verture as well as Mussorgsky's A Night on Bald Mountain. They are current
ly documenting their silent film works in a new CD-R series, working on a
re-working of Mussorgsky&rsquo\;s Pictures at an Exhibition to be performe
d as a double-band with Austin avant jazz-rockers Bee vs. Moth and develop
ing more original and non-original material.The band has made its mark by
creating exceptionally original music: songs and instrumental pieces that
are like four-to-five minute mini-symphonies chock full of memorable melod
ies, meticulous arrangements, dynamics, and humor. Their music fuses riff
rock, classical/symphonic music, heavy metal, loungey grooves, odd meters,
klezmer, country shuffles, punk rock and circusy polka. They draw from in
fluences as disparate as Slint and Igor Stravinsky, Van Halen and Louis Ar
mstrong, and Sonic Youth and Ween. The band applies the DIY attitude of po
st-punk groups like NoMeansNo and Fugazi to their musical explorations, re
sulting in a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.\nFree! 1:00p

The I
nvincible Czars bring their annual family-friendly pre-Fourth of July live
music event with juggling, face painting, a costume contest and other sur
prises.
Austin&rsquo\;s most adventurous rock band
, The Invincible Czars, will bring all the wit, humor, patriotism and fun
they can muster \;
T
he event will feature Houston&rsquo\;s own husband wife circus entertainer
s Swopesters performing alongside the band. Dancing is encouraged and face
painting, hula hoops and beach balls will be provided for extra fun. Best
of all, prizes will be awarded for the best-dressed olde-fashioned girl,
boy and adult. The event is BYOPicnic Basket. Food will also be available
from El Palomo food truck on site and Houston author James Prohaska will b
e promoting his forthcoming book, Andrew Jackson and the Vampires.
The event centers on a performance of Tchaikovsky&rsquo\;s 1812 Overtu
re, which the Invincible Czars released last year for the bicentennial of
the event that inspired it: Napoleon&rsquo\;s defeat at Borodino by the Ru
ssian army in 1812. This year, the band will keep that tradition and add i
nstrumental material from their recent silent film projects as well as com
positions by Sousa, Satie, Ravel, Mussorgsky and Ween.
The Invi
ncible Czars ever-revolving personnel door has also spun in an interesting
fashion for this performance &ndash\; the band will be 50% women with the
addition of two native Houstonians &ndash\;drummer Sarah Norris (Austin b
ands Bee vs. Moth and My Education) and Erin Rodgers (Houston&rsquo\;s Gla
ss the Sky) on keyboards and clarinet.
The show will also be fr
ee for all ages (though tips are encouraged) as a &ldquo\;thank you&rdquo\
; performance to Houston for its years of support and hospitality to the I
nvincible Czars!
