DESCRIPTION:
dirty weather project - urusarktos the bachelor

from "if johnny comes marching home" (2008)


In 2008, "Telegram" Frank Vollmann (Frank the Baptist) and Lucas Lanthier (Cinema Strange, the Deadfly Ensemble) brought their "Dirty Weather" show to the shores of Europe. Now, in 2011, they return with...

More songs!

More Whiskey!

More Dirty!
Exchanging songs of mayhem and merriment, Vollmann and Lanthier are film noir balladeers, sipping bourbon, slugging out guitar chords and never turning a blind eye to a dame in distress. With ribald rhymes, lewd limericks, and perverse poetry thrown in for good measure, this installation of Dirty Weather is tommy guns and tattered tunes, a two-fisted free for all that'll splay you out on the pavement faster than a getaway car after a bank heist.


Captain's Log 2008: If, in the midst of your hectic, modern workweek, you have ever stopped to wonder what became of those dashing and slightly overdressed privateers of old, with their licensed piracy and their anachronistic but endearingly eccentric jewel-encrusted goblets, then YOU are in for a treat.

Frank Vollmann (Frank the Baptist) and Lucas Lanthier (Cinema Strange, the Deadfly Ensemble) have arrayed their compasses, sextants and GPS devices and set sail for lands unknown. The "Dirty Weather Project" brings these two swashbuckling brigands to the stage for a four-fisted performance; swapping songs, telling tales, and nearly spraining their ill-trained ankles during mostly futile jig-dancing attempts. Guitars, rum-stained knickers, Jolly Roger flags, and a thirst for the sea-tossed horizon prevail! Lanthier plays C.S. and Deadfly favorites, Frank plays Frank the Baptist classics, and together they lovingly render timeless shanties into shreds. Join Lucas and Frank for a pleasantly ribald, beautifully bawdy, and unusually arranged musical performance...
