Lucy The Poodle presents The Music of Pink Floyd
Friday, August 21
Club DeVille (900 Red River St)
9 p.m.
[info]

Lucy The Poodle Productions brings us a bonanza of all things Pink Floyd this Friday at Club de Ville. A plethora of local talent -- Belaire, 'Til We’re Blue Or Destroy, My Education, The Hi Tones, The Raven Tree, The Clouds Are Ghosts, The Alice Rose, and The Noise Revival Orchestra -- will perform a couple of songs each by the legendary English band. The evening kicks off with a string quartet at 8 p.m. and there are plenty of activities planned to keep us busy all night long. Body painting, a Pink Floyd themed scavenger hunt, live visuals (of course), and naturally, a screening of the Dark Side Of Oz are all on the schedule.

Inspired by Gesamtkunstwerk, Naomi Cherie co-founded Lucy The Poodle Productions with her mother Dawn Starke, her fiancé Johnny Flores (The Hi Tones), and Joseph Salazer (Death is not a joyride.) We caught up with Cherie this week and learnt that she had notions to “create an all-encompassing total work of art” ever since college. LTP’s various events in town over the last year or so (“Circus Party,” “1960’s-Mod Summer Dance Party”) reflect the collective’s vision for what she sums up as “over the top, audience-interactive themed multi-media events that would encompass music, art, dance, theatrics, film and more.” There’s much more to come - a “back to school party” is on the cards in September, followed by a Halloween bash in October, a 1950’s style Sockhop in November, and a “Roaring 20’s Party” in December. LTP also launched LUCY Magazine this past SXSW.
