Alazarin and the Invisible Band! at Mystery Venue

Let's dispose of two little problems first:

- How is it possible to find a 'mystery' venue.  Teleport.  Problem solved.

- Also, how is it possible to see an Invisible Band?  Hmm ... coming up dry on a wiseguy answer for that one but I suspect entering the venue passes me through a matrix of disassociation with any arbitrary modalities of a physically-constrained existence and thus permits me to see the band which wasn't really invisible anyway.  That might be it.  Maybe.



Alazarin Mobius is on the far left and he was a dragon but I'm not really sure what he is now.  We need a close-up.  (The show is running right now.  Come on into SL and check him out.  SL prog rock at its finest!)


Oh yes, definitely still a dragon.  But let's see Smaug do this.

Note:  got a question on who is Smaug and he's the dragon from "The Hobbit" in "Lord of the Rings" and I'm sayin' I think Alazarin could take him.


DeForest Shatner, WallaSan Grommet, and (irrational) e accompany him.


WallaSan plays the most incredible guitar in any known ... or unknown ... Universe.



Irrationally gives us some lush synth.  The 'e' is irrational anyway but I'm not sure what it means when it is upside-down ... irrationality in distress?  I will ask.



DeForest Shatner is playing drums from the year 3000 or something!


As you may have already surmised, there is no other band like this in Second Life ... or anywhere else.

They're officially Alazarin Mobius and the Invisible Band! but it's also ok to call them Alazarin's Aerotropic Argonauts.  This was the first prog rock band to enter Second Life and at least seven or eight years back.  I really don't think anyone else has touched this type of act since.  There are lots of excellent performers in Second Life but prog rock is its own world and Alazarin owns it in this one.

The intricacy and complexity of the band's music is endlessly compelling and at whatever level of musicology you like.   Analyze the changes overall, the detail of the play within them, etc, etc and all will add to the same thing:  dis guy is a genius.
