Just off tour with the Dresden Dolls, real life circus
composer, Sxip Shirey, creates incredible music with his
resophonic guitar, regurgitated music boxes, industrial
flutes, bull horn harmonica and other sonic wonders. He has
toured with the Dresden Dolls, performed at the Kennedy
Center, the Sydney Opera House and The New Victory Theater
with pyrotechnic clowns of The Daredevil Opera Company and has
toured the US with The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus and his
gypsy-tango-klezmer-punk outfit, The Luminescent Orchestrii.
He has many underground parties in Brooklyn (Rubulad!) and he
writes the occasional country song.
"New Yorkers are perpetually trying to explain the musical
gazingstock that is Sxip... With a musical arsenal that
includes the industrial flute, the mutant harmonica, the
obnoxiophone, the triple-extended penny whistle, a miniature
hand-bell choir, and a regurgitated music box, he conjures a
world of infernal calliopes and cotton candy machetes wielded
by Gypsy crones with angel feet." -SF Weekly
