WDBX & The Varsity Hosting Invincible Czars
Members of the unique Austin, Texas rock band Invincible Czars are Leila Henley (winds, voice, percussion), Josh Robins (guitar, sound effects, drums), Phil Davidson (violin, keys) and John McCane (bass guitar).
WDBX presents Invincible Czars in their triumphant Carbondale double-feature return at The Varsity Center. Fans of contemporary, art-house cinematic scoring or classic silent films will not want to miss Invincible Czars performing live original accompaniment to America’s first horror film, “Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde,” followed by their live accompaniment and screening of 1922’s macabre masterpiece “Nosferatu,” all in the recently-renovated Varsity Center Balcony.
WDBX Station Manager Dave Armstrong said Invincible Czars is a special treat. “I saw the Invincible Czars last year when they played for WDBX. I went home that night and bought tickets for my whole family to see them the next night. They loved it!”
The Invincible Czars have filled theaters all over the U.S., delivering intricately crafted and precisely performed silent film soundtracks. The Austin, Texas-based band makes quirky, bold music for lovers of everything in the “other” category. Inspired by comics, sci-fi, fantasy and horror stories, cartoons and classical composers, they are eclectic, dynamic, and always perform with cinematic flair.
The event will take place at The Varsity Center on Saturday, Oct. 21. “Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde” begins at 6 p.m.; “Nosferatu” begins at 8:30. Double-feature tickets are $12; tickets for “Nosferatu” only are $8. Tickets are also available at the door or online at thevarsitycenter.org. All proceeds benefit WDBX and The Varsity.
Doors and the bar open at 5:30. The Gallery Bar will be offering for sale beer, wine, select cocktails, soda and snacks. Cash and cards are accepted.
