SUMMARY:Prince Rama
DESCRIPTION:Prince Rama is the musical duo of sisters Taraka and Nimai Larson. They have lived in ashrams\, worked for utopian architects\, written manifestos\, delivered lectures from pools of fake blood\, conducted group exorcisms disguised as VHS workouts\, installed art installations at The Whitney\, Art Basel and various galleries across the U.S. And now they return to Big Car April 9\, 8 p.m. at the Tube Factory artspace\, 1125 Cruft St. in the Garfield Park neighborhood on the south end of downtown. \nThey will perform Xtreme Now\, an album about extreme sports with Indianapolis-based The Icks opening for them. The cost of the performance is $10 and tickets can be purchased on-line (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/prince-rama-indianapolis-us-tour-the-icks-tickets-21012549100) or at the door. \nXtreme Now is the most extreme album Prince Rama has ever made. Writing for Xtreme Now began while the Larson sisters were living on a black metal utopian commune on Vȫrmsi\, a remote island off the coast of Estonia during the summer of 2012. There\, Taraka had a near death experience inside an ancient Viking ruin\, which sparked a recurring sense of time-schizophrenia\, or the physical sensation of existing in multiple time periods simultaneously. \nIn this case\, she experienced a joint-existence in both the medieval ages and the year 2067. In one of her prophetic visions she describes\, “In the year 2067\, I witnessed an aesthetic landscape where art museums are sponsored by energy drink beverages and beauty is determined by speed. I saw a vision of ancient tapestries stretched across half-pipes and people base-jumping off planes with the Mona Lisa smiling up from their parachutes. I saw art merge with extreme sports to form a new aesthetic language of ‘Speed Art.’ I realized that time travel was possible via the gateway of extreme sports\, and I wanted to make music that would provide the score.” \nPerceiving a great void in the world of extreme sports for music that could match the metaphysical intensity of these death-defying feats\, Prince Rama set forth to make Xtreme Now\, the first real foray by any musician to create a new “extreme sports genre.” For inspiration\, the sisters looked to their own flirtations with death and time-dilation\, along with countless hours of obsessively watching extreme sports videos and consuming dangerous quantities of Monster Energy drink. \nWorking with acclaimed dance producer Alex Epton of XXXChange (Gang Gang Dance\, Björk\, Spank Rock\, Panda Bear\, The Kills)\, the new songs take on a more powerful\, confident\, fierce\, infectious\, all-encompassing\, and accessible dance-club feeling than any other Prince Rama record – a fearless\, visionary pop tour de force for the ghost-modern era that celebrates the ephemerality of life\, dancing just at the edge of death’s gilded smile. \nAbout The Icks \nThe Icks utilize electricity to power their instruments. What if John Hughes directed Blade Runner? \nJohn Caldwell-guitar and vocals \nCameron Holloway-farfisa \nJoe Ferguson-bass \nAmanda Case-vocals \n$10 \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/prince-rama-indianapolis-us-tour-the-icks-tickets-21012549100 \nThis concert is made possible by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. About The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts: The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts was established in 1987.
