The debut recording sets the tone for a
whimsical collision of
musical genres. It combines rock & roll classics with the classical masters,
as well as a Pandora's box of world and ethnic music, opera, jazz improvisation, and underscored spoken monologues, for a thoroughly theatrical
listening. Imagine a collaboration between Jimi Hendrix and Strauss, Jim
Morrison and Debussy. This melting pot of musical sounds creates an
exhilarating experience that captures the imagination and interest of only the
most hilariously disturbed. Conducted by Elvis Schoenberg, and featuring the
vocals of The Fabulous Miss Thing. |

The second outing is even more of
an unholy marriage of genres, this time with a decidedly B-flick horror movie
thematic to tempt one along. Who wouldn't love a German, dodecaphonic
rendition of Blue Suede Shoes? Again conducted by the mad baton
of Elvis Schoenberg, and featuring the loopy, death-defying vocals of The
Fabulous Miss Thing and Dangerous Dan O'Callaghan, It's Alive!
coaxes with monstrous renditions of everything from the Beatles to Puccini.

This unique and
respectful tribute to the music of Jimi Hendrix creates an alter-universe
where classics such as
Fire are transformed into a Stravinsky-esque ballet suite, Little Wing becomes a visual dance of a Chinese Courtesan,
and Voodoo Child is the lair of a witch doctor with African Rhythms,
aggressive Bartök- esque strings and a choir of haunting voodoo chants.
Elvis Schoenberg's arrangements are as iconic as the songs themselves. Featuring guitarists Scott
Henderson, Jeff Miley, Jimmy Mahlis, Kurt James and Ken Rosser; and vocalists
The Fabulous Miss Thing, The Daunting Diva Lynn, Nick Hernandez, and Headless Jason Paige.
