Event Details

In conjunction with Jefferson Market’s summer art exhibit Valhalla Hospital: The Art of the Moody Wallen Band is "Movie Wallen" a video series every Thursday until through August 18th of the artists. 
 
The Moody Wallen Band formed in early 2004 to collectively pursue the various music and art activities of its members. The group's idiosyncratic sound developed quickly amid spontaneous collisions of eccentric classic rock reinterpretations and improvised explorations of the uncanny. Demolished forms (and living spaces) and headlong plunges into the unknown are the hallmarks of hundreds of recording sessions and live performances. Offending common order and the civil authorities, the group continuously produces noisy hymns to God's daughter, unhinged rock and rant, and speculative drift through the discourses of psychoanalysis, theology, magic, psychiatric medicine, stand up comedy, and love. While the apparent disorder of the band's work defies easy assimilation and represents for some a disturbance of the peace, adherents of the dream world and ontological anarchy will recognize in the fusion and confusion of The Moody Wallen Band fearless adventures in the realms of the body and the realms of the mind.
