 The Invincible Czars - (Austin, TX ) Austin's Invincible Czars have made their mark by creating exceptionally original music: songs and instrumental pieces that are like four-to-five minute "mini-symphonies" chock full of memorable melodies, meticulous arrangements, dynamics, and humor. Their music fuses all kinds of styles including riff rock, classical music, loungey grooves, spacey klezmer, country shuffles, and circusy polka. They draw from influences as disparate as Igor Stravinsky, Van Halen, Louis Armstrong, The Melvins and Ween. The band applies the DIY attitude of post-punk groups like NoMeansNo and Fugazi to their musical explorations.
The Invincible Czars strive to do more than the standard rock band playing in night clubs. In the past few years, they have known and lauded for their arrangements of classical works such as Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite which has become a holiday tradition. They have ventured into the realm of dance and short film. They have also created new scores for silent movies and performed them live. In the eight years of existence, the band has performed at private events, nightclubs, parks, theaters, community centers, television stations and radio studios from San Francisco to New Orleans.
