The albums are "a thespian punk rock
extravaganza.? ... "a musical theatrical
fantastical journey into the literally burning
questions of our times" ... relating some of
the science measuring how we have become
entrapped in this mess, and asking how to rid
ourselves of this Neo-Liberal nightmare, which
spews out its wanton by-products (greenhouse
gases, pandemics and daily misery for the
many) as if there were no tomorrow?
Juxtaposing full blown majestic pop-rock-punk
with interludes of spoken word musical
theatre, like a Brechtian beggars opera, the
albums weave a trio of narrative threads
whereby the agility of a childs play brain
meets artificial intelligence under the
watchful eyes of sub-contracted government
spies. All set against the backdrop of the
creeping authoritarianism of the Trump years
and humanitys race to save the species.
Replete with anger, outrage, good tunes, humor
and humanity at its best, it also manages to
ask what role art may have in all of this?
Danbert Nobacon and Kira Wood Cramer take
leading roles in this verbal burlesque hybrid,
and are joined by an ensemble of new and
returning Axis of Dissent musicians, and a
full cast on no less than twenty three
characters ... classifies as a double album
because, like a good stage play or film it
clocks in at the 84 minute markrBased on the
novel Brain Circus by Danbert Nobacon, which,
for reasons relating to, protecting
intellectual property from prying corporate
algorithms, only currently exists inside the
authors head.
