Originally founded by Dr. Leopold in 1937, the MFC has included a list of performers too various to list, including world class dancers, circus arts & carnival acts, minstrels, musicians & magicians from all walks. at times involving puppetry, performance art, masks & costumes blended with classical techniques from around the globe. of the many who have come & gone, two names have remained constant in the saga. Dr. Leopold & his life long companion Sleek Eels. Since Leopold's disappearance in 2004, Eels has continued to keep the organization together and hosts events in which he impersonates the Dr. in his absence.
Influences
Music of the people, as well as classical & theatrical elements from a variety of world cultures. circus, carnival & slave music. Hoodoo, vaudeville & cabaret. Psychedelic pop & literature. daffodil, a performance art collective/movement which is based in Atlanta, Bread & Puppet, kiss gwar, sun ra, crash worship, extra action, hobo gobbelins, international maggot theatre, salvador dali, m.c. escher, lewis carroll, henry darger, brian jones, ect.
More than just a band, Dr, Leopold has created a system of bands and multi-dimensional realities interconnected within the confines of his most miraculous invention, the Multi-Form cabinet (a.k.a. MFC). in the first chamber we have the multi-form drum & noise with sleek eels on drums & X-10 on noise. in other chambers we have the halls of the paper museum, hobo gobbelins, a tinderbox inscribed with the words "og'n b'gy", a miniature magazine entitled "oxo wow mom", portals to the desert ship and it's mythical marching band, the hideous clown parlor, obscure oddities, hidden gardens, a picture show, a baby grande and a one man banjo, some say the bones of Dr. Leopold himself, rest his wandering ghost.
this is just the beginning, shipments from the MFC are just starting to arrive. stay tuned to recieve updates from the master control. your time and concideration are appreciated.
