Irrevery Presents THE LIVING MIXTAPE: A BIZARRE BAZAAR Book Release in Concert

The country-punk-noise performance collective Irrevery presents "The Living Mixtape: A Bizarre Bazaar," Sunday, March 26th, 7 PM, at The Silent Barn, Brooklyn.

"The Living Mixtape" is a collaborative performance in multiple media: a book release, a flash-poetry workshop and readings, an art bazaar, plus a concert featuring improvised dance and music by Marilu Donovan, Relatives, NoPop, and Irrevery

These media converge to promote the release of the book, Irrevery Volume I, the collective effort of twelve artists, each of whom illustrated the lyrics of songs from the upcoming debut album of the same title by Irrevery. Pieces from the book and other works by these artists will be on display and for sale throughout in the Bazaar.

The evening begins with "Verse First," a flash-poetry workshop that calls on the audience to create their own flash-verses using William Burroughs' cut-up technique with words from Irrevery lyrics.

This will be followed by four musical acts (a soloist, duo, and trio) culminating in a performance by Irrevery (a quartet). The acts will be interspersed with select readings from the audience-curated verses of Verse First accompanied by improvised dance by Sharlene Chadrac, Cookie Tongue, and Loud Relations.

Irrevery is a performance initiative fronted by Paige Johnson-Brown that makes country-punk-noise music. Irrevery has a record coming out called Irrevery Volume I. Irrevery also makes books and art. Irrevery has performed all over Brooklyn and Manhattan, plus the West Coast.

The Silent Barn is a non-profit music and arts venue in Bushwick, Brooklyn. They have spent the last decade providing a platform for art of all persuasions, particularly the strange. They are located at 603 Bushwick Ave, Brooklyn. For more, visit http://silentbarn.org/.
