The evening will include:
Live sax, whiskey shots, found films and videos, and a dead man’s dance.

In the immortal words of Cecil C. Sharp, poet of pulp and porn, the saxophone is an instrument comparable to a “disgorged stomach, full of wine and batter.” Since its arrival in the mid-nineteenth century, born to be carried in military marching bands, the saxophone has matured into a machine of intense and tainted sentimentality.

The saxophone’s cry is of the disappointed bank heist, a working man’s blues, the teenager’s rebellion, chintzy love poems, the burlesque dancer’s grinding pelvis, a killer’s flight down city streets, a rich man’s tumble, a descent into drunken violence, God’s lonely man, and that squall that echoes through the laser-lit streets of Vegas, the call of a lone wolf scavenging for change, surrounded by tourists gawking at the instrument’s sustained wail.
