The Spooky Men’s Chorale
July 28, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Experience a performance as spooky as it is striking.
Formed in 2001, The Spooky Men’s Chorale is a vast, rumbling, steam powered and black clad behemoth, seemingly accidentally capable of rendering audiences moist eyed with mute appreciation or haplessly gurgling with merriment. Based on the twin pillars of grand foolishness and the quest for the perfect subwoofer-rattling boofchord, the Spooky Men seek to commentate on the absurdity and grandeur of the modern male armed only with their voices, a sly collection of hats and facial hair, and a twinkle in the eye.
About the concert
In this delicious live performance, The Spooky Men’s Chorale dig deep into their multifarious themes: Georgian male polyphony; a running joke on man as a vast, oblivious useless object; whispers of clown, bouffon and Monty Python; and forays into massively pleasurable grunting tribalism.
Audiences are invited to first joyously endure a wall of mansound, then laugh stupidly, before venturing into areas of great tenderness. It is not so much comedic as hilarious, not so much shimmeringly perfect as human in a very deeply resonant way.
