NEGATIVLAND live in concert!

Rated Unknown

Location: Alamo Downtown

First Austin show in 8 years!!

"Negativland, longtime advocates of fair use allowances for pop media collage, are perhaps America's most skilled plunderers from the detritus of 20th century commercial culture. Negativland are media addicts who see society suffering under a constant barrage of TV, canned imagery, advertising and corporate culture...the band is razor sharp, microscopically focused, terribly fun and a bit psychotic."
- WIRED MAGAZINE

Legendary trickster band Negativland triumphantly returns to Austin with a new version of their weekly radio broadcast OVER THE EDGE (on the air since 1981!) live on stage at the Alamo for the very first time, mixing music, found sounds, found dialog, scripts, personalities, and sound effects within a "radio" theater-of-the-mind. IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD FM is a 2-hour-long, action-packed look at monotheism, the supernatural God concept, and the all-important role played by the human brain in our beliefs. Dr. Oslo Norway is your "radio" host, and Christianity, Islam and Judaism are the featured religions, as Negativland asks you to contemplate some complex, serious, silly and challenging ideas about human belief in this audio cut-up mix best described as a "documentary collage". IAIYH FM is a compelling and uniquely fun presentation of sticky theological concepts from the most controversial and entertaining music/media/mania outfit in existence!

"Declared heroic by their peers for refashioning culture into what the group considers to be more honest statements, Negativland suggests that refusing to be original, in the traditional sense, is the only way to make art that has any depth within commodity capitalism..."
- NEW YORK TIMES

"Twisted genius...compelling...parody and satire as a grass roots weapon of consumer resistance."
- ROLLING STONE
