Melomane will perform around the perimeter of the space and envelope the audience, almost like a live version of Flaming Lips’ Zaireka. Guest musicians on trumpet, violin, saw, clarinet and live video manipulation by Kevin Campbell. This is the Melomane show not to miss.
MELOMANE is a Brooklyn based collective whose uncompromised love for baroque pop, punk, and orchestral music fuels its distinct, cinematic sound. Infectious vocal harmonies, guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, cello, trumpet, violin, and sonic exploration are adventurously blended in a song experience rooted equally in emotion and craft.
“These tracks combine garage accessibility and boho poetry with an ingenuity that will win over intelligent listeners and show musicians just how far a band can travel when nested between self-imposed limitations” - All Music Guide
“Fans of pop served with a heavy skewering of experimental quirk should line up for this one.” - Chuck Eddy, Village Voice
