Invincible Czars, Golden Arm Trio Christmas Show
Friday, December 15, at Double Wide
Published on December 14, 2006
If you are into frenzied, turn-of-the-20th-century riot-inducing Eastern European classical music with a twist, and if you like your Christmas tunes in the same format, this one is a no-brainer. Graham Reynolds' Golden Arm Trio (who recently scored Richard Linklater's A Scanner Darkly) is an Austin institution, brewing an odd potpourri of surrealist carnival jazz, percussive piano romps, and inside-out visceral takes on the classical idiom.
