Live: Alexis Gideon takes Video Musics on the road
Aug 20, 09
Infinite wonder and looped manic behavior are the two components that we'd assume make up all of the whole of Alexis Gideon. Eccentric doesn't exactly cut it, either. You'll get the shot to see what we actually mean when the man takes his circus maximus on the road this fall, with a ton of dates that find Gideon performing his entire "hip hopera" Video Musics, the cosmic tale of mythology, schizophrenia and fantasy. Take a quick breath because that's a lot to take in on its own. Now take a look at the itinerary, which basically has Gideon jumping out of moving vehicles for four months straight, but he'll at least be sharing those jumps with Dan Deacon, Shelley Short and Nuclear Power Pants.
