If you’re in the mood for something completely and extraordinarily different, go see Wee Snuff this weekend when it presents “Urban Noise Camp” from 7 p.m. to midnight Friday at the Lyric Opera’s rehearsal space at 18th and Charlotte streets.
The show is a joint production by the Young Friends of the Library and the KC Bohemians, a group of young professionals supporting the Lyric Opera Guild. Wee Snuff calls its music “out-jazz on tiny instruments.”
The band is Mark Southerland on a horn he calls a “stritch,” Josh Adams on “junior drums,” Johnny Hammil on “one-eighth bass” and Ashley Miller on the “piicolophone” and microphone.
It’s wigged-out stuff, and they all wear bizarrely playful costumes. For the Noise Camp installation, they’ll be joined by pianist Mark Lowrey and vocalist Shay Estes.
Southerland said the performance is a highly improvisational “passion play about the moon” with “lighting, humans and camping stuff,” as in tentlike structures illuminated by “’90s DJ lighting.”
Estes will sing a few “campfire sing-along songs,” he said, but warned: “They’ll start off very child-like but we’ll slowly destroy them.” The DJ known as Redshirt Theory will also be integrated into the performance.
Admission is $10, which will include free beers provided by the Boulevard Brewing Co. It’s half-price if you RSVP online in advance at www.kclibrary.org.
