Our show is not exactly ‘opera’, but a multi-media live concert that weaves music with video projections, props and puppets. To see more of what we do, check out our website at http://www. squonkopera. org.

New Year' Video-that's a funny one! I was taking all the needles off my christmas tree (one by one), before I chopped it into tiny pieces; but then I stopped to watch that video and...well.......a tear came to my eye.
ok so i most definately like this clip you just sent me. it gave me a lot of emotion for the short 41 seconds. let me explain. #1. my sound was cranked up. #2. its about 130am. #3. im in a pitch black room. so a i watched the clip i was totally ready to laugh my ass off. then larry pops out of nowhere and punches him in the face. (refer to the #'s) the sound of larry's punch scrared te shit out of me in my dark quiet room. then i laughed my ass off. so i liked it.
What people have been whispering about is TRUE! Strange sightings… Unexplained phenomena. . . scientific anomalies… Squonk Opera will be responding to the cover-ups with… ASTRO - RAMA!
With 3 stories of scaffolding and a 40 ft radio telescope, Squonk Opera will take you on a wild visual and musical celebration of the universe and our place in it.
Part symphony, part cacophony, Astro-Rama dares to go where no multi-media/theater/performance group has gone before.
Rising in scissor lift platforms and cherry pickers, Squonk will compose a proud message from our species, power up and transmit.
Stand with us, and the truth will be revealed.
Pittsburgh, PA at Schenley Plaza, Oakland October 15-18, 2008
Weather permitting, all broadcasts begin at 8:00 p.m., are outdoors and are FREE for all bipedal primates!
sadly, the dancers will be attending the Okkervill River show at mr smalls. they are both angry that they will miss the show, but not as mad as we are at Okkervill River for poor scheduling.
But we assure you that we are an awesome band even if we don't have dancers. Really.
actually, i do believe i will be coming to the free beer show this thursday. but not for the free beer. for the $5 hustlebot. that's a better bargain. i will be late though, as i have a 7pm rehearsal.
