The Devil’s Spine Band To Hit Project Arts Centre

January 12, 2015

The Devils Spine Band

Featherhead productions in association with Project Arts Centre present “The  Devil’s Spine Band”

Project Arts Centre 14th -17th January 2015     Doors 7.45pm

“The Devil’s Spine Band” are bringing their anarchic Wilde West sensibility to The Project Arts Centre Dublin in January 2015.

Inspired by Oscar Wilde’s lecture tour to the mining town of Leadville Colorado in 1881, they will invite you into their surreal desert world, combining the gritty atmosphere of the Wild West with Japanese Butoh dance, and music by IMRO members, Trevor Knight and Ed Deane, that incorporates Spaghetti Western, blues, free improvisation and ambient-electronic.

Visual artist Alice Maher has created a stunning sculptural setting, with lighting design by Aedin Cosgrove, costumes designed by Miriam Duffy and film by Vivienne Dick.

The line-up for these performances will be: Gyohei Zaitsu (Butoh Dancer), Maki Watanabe (Butoh Dancer), Trevor Knight (keyboards/vocal), Ed Deane (guitars/vocal), Cindy Cummings (dancer/vocal), Garvan Gallagher (bass/vocal), Tom Jamieson (drums/percussion).

Each evening they will be joined by a different special guest performer, including performer/ singer Dylan Tighe (Thursday) and performance artist Áine Phillips( Friday).

The Devil’s Spine Band was created in 2011 to act as a flexible vehicle for an eclectic group of musicians and artists (dance, butoh, visual, film, performance) interested in stretching the boundaries of their various disciplines and combining to create a stimulating new experience for audiences.

“Trevor Knight’s score is really excellent, the influences of Johnny Cash and Tom Waits only enhancing its originality.” (IRISH THEATRE MAGAZINE )
