| Introduction (spoken): "Nineteen-seventy-nine. A graffiti covered practice space on Grand Concourse Boulevard. Kid Dynamo, The Baddest Dude in the Bronx, tunes up for a power session with his band The Authority Molesters. He thought he was getting ready to play just another balls to the wall show for the freaks and the punks at The Mudd Club. Little did he know he was on the verge of the greatest musical innovation since the mixolydian scale." |
je ne sais quoi, „Kid Dynamo Sings Songs of "Rap n' Roll" touches
down this Wednesday at Rothko.
"Kid Dynamo Sings Songs of Rap n' Roll" is awash with dancing,
singing, prep school hijinx, headset mics, laughter,
2-worlds-coming-in-touch-with-each-other, Alan Ginsburging
and the invention of a new music called Rap n' Roll.
"Kid Dynamo Sings Songs of Rap n' Roll" tells the story of troubled
boy from the streets. He has two burning dreams in his heart. He
has a passion for rock n‚ roll music but dreams of inventing a music
that will let him truly speak to all the urban break-dancers and freestyle
bike messengers. His other burning dream is to be understood by his dad.
Eventually all Kid Dynamo's dreaming lands him in a prep school where
he must struggle for acceptance.
This Fame-esque musical (with a Leroy emphasis) features members of
the bands Sweden and Hit! It is the brainchild of the former band 3.5
Megabytes who the Montreal Mirror called, "One of my fave freaky-deaky
electro theatre acts." 3.5 Megabytes, tired of being so "Electro" and "Fave,"
has embarked on a musical comedy career that will entertain and astound.
