Muffinhead and Eric Schmalenberger present BANZAI!!!!!

A new event that brings you over 50 of the most WOWtastic artists in today's nightlife, performance, and modern art scenes in a mix of frenzied, creative commotion.

Aiming to immediately disrupt the context in which viewers can experience art and performance, Muffinhead and Eric Schmalenberger bring together creative and experimental geniuses whose exploding energy plays well within their vision of an artistic wonderland. For them there is no hierarchy of media and there is a home for anyone willing to travel to the limits of their imagination. More then just an art event or a performance event Banzai cross pollinates the best aspects of the creative community and allows them to infect, affect, effect, and deflect one another. This evening promises to bring you tragic glamour, violent minimalism, electro opera, humorist gender bending, psychedelic excess, and interactive dance-offs.

Performing live will be electro-art diva Iggy and Dances of Vice exotique Shien Lee along with visual presentations by Video Art Starlet Bec Stupak, nightclub photographer extraordinaire Kenny Kenny and a mix-media collaboration installation brought to you by Click+Drag creator Rob Roth and nouveau drag princess Sequinette.

Climaxing with an eclectic dance party that blasts off at midnight, BANZAI!!!!! will very likely blow your mind...and if not, it will definitely fondle it for a little while.
