After seeing Guy Maddin’s film of the same name, Lady Ane Angel and Lalla Morte were inspired to seek out, find and in some way reward the artist who was making the saddest music in the world. The contest brings together musicians from the four corners of the world to compete in a battle for ultimate hopelessness from dejection versus depression to misery versus melancholy, who will win? Good question, well, each artist gets to play one song and the audience vote with their tears (tear soaked tissues to be exact). A bin is passed round at the end of each performance to collect the used snot rags - or the amount of tissues the audience member would have cried if they weren’t such a double hard bastard - the artist with the most is the winner!!!!!
He or she gets to play a whole set at the next SMWC.
(Other secret prizes soon to be revealed!)
Add to this, some of the most talented side-show performers, burlesque princesses and DJs who will bring you their best in heartbreaking acts and songs…
And! To accompany the already tearjerking line up of music and sideshows there will be a crying contest. In which participants from the audience must sit facing one another much like an arm wrestling match but instead of locking fists they will lock tear ducts in a battle of blues. Points will be awarded for style, content, attitude, longevity and volume. And any competitors found to be using artificial aides such as pictures of dead loved ones or onions will be severely reprimanded!
After “collecting” the best of the best in the different cities we’ll be hitting, a big night will be organized to crown the king or queen of sadness!!
Welcome to the night where sad becomes cool and artists from around the globe gather to pluck out beautiful music on our heartstrings….
I feel I am losing myself in this forced flattering The whirlpool is sucking me down All of us in the same melting pot? No,no I don't want one language,one currency, one home,one army, one bank,one justice,one world leader. My canvas is multicoloured i don't want one international monetary fund one religion for all,one world government one state of special police forces which oppresses and robs the people all over the world. MY CANVAS IS MULTICOLOURED
Like infinitesimal grains of sand we go on Continue our trip into space who knows since when and until when In the immediate probability of our contact with the unexpected
