Legendary musician David J of Bauhaus and Love and Rockets is collaborating with Detroit's Theatre Bizarre Orchestra to create an immersive performance experience involving a studio recording, DVD, and tour. Help make it happen by supporting the project on Kickstarter! Above, David and the Theatre Bizarre Orchestra perform a Minnie the Moocher-inspired version of the Bauhaus classic "Bela Lugosi's Dead" at last year's Theatre Bizarre Gala, a moment that provoked this latest endeavor.
On Friday night, my family and I saw David perform under the stars in a Petaluma, California backyard and it was a deeply magical experience. His musicianship, warmth, and wit energized the delighted group of fans and friends who had gathered for this intimate show. From "living room concerts" to crowdfunded endeavors like this one, David continues to demonstrate how an artist working at the edges of culture can connect directly with his or her supporters beyond traditional channels to fund new work, inspire creativity, and fuel the passion of everyone involved.
