Our creative mission is pretty interesting - it's to portray ancient mythological gods and goddesses through costume and music. My friend (who recently graduated from UVIC's Theatre program and is really skilled at making props and costumes) created ten fantastic costumes based off ancient deities. For each deity, we've selected a song (so far it's a mix of rock and broadway-esque numbers)that we feel best personifies them, although I'm planning to write music for at least some of the deities. For our performances, the female vocalists would dress up as the deities and sing the tunes that best personify, and if we had several singers we could hopefully do a full set! We're also looking for a bass player/drummer to work with to make this presentation more electrifying and energetic. I should be clear and say that in order for the costumes to fit, we need vocalists of a certain build - not necessarily thin (this would be a performance, not a fashion show) - the vocalist should be between 5'1-5'7 and have a slender to middle-sized body type. (Seriously, no offense to people with larger or taller body types. Large is beautiful and sexy, but in the case it just wouldn't work with costumes, unfortunately.) You don't need to be absurdly gorgeous or anything, though - this is a theatrical/musical performance, not a fashion show! Our grand dream is to eventually turn this performance idea into a show in which a mystical summoner presents all ten deities, and a to produce a music video which we'll put on youtube - but for now we're just trying to play shows so we get our name out there and have fun. Obviously, just like any other artistic group we're ideally looking for people who work with our creative chemistry, and ideally are equally excited about this as we are, so we'd have to jam with you first before we make a decision on whether or not you'd work with us (or likewise, whether or not YOU want to work with US!) I've included a pic of the costume we're using for Baron Samedi (the voodoo lord of the Death) in this post, and if you want to see pics of all the deities, check out this link:

(The deities were costumes were originally based off voodoo deities, but we've decided to branch out to present them as deities from other mythologies as well in order to celebrate the whole of human mythology in general.)

Oh and yeah, I agree with the person who posted the last subject - where the hell did everyone go? Yeah, Facebook is awesome, but frankly I think this site is vastly better suited for finding musicians in Victoria, and I miss the days when this place was teeming with creative energy. - Wed, 16 May 2012 2:44pm
