Return appearance from these Swedish faves! If you missed Sons of God last time they were in Philadelphia, or at the No Fun Festival, you may have heard bemused and be-wondered tales of their theatrical, ritualistic movements and scenes, set to bone-rattling noise. And if you did catch them, you know just what kind of miraculous transformations to expect. This time, Leif and Kent will be joined by two prominent citizens of the Royal Kingdoms of Elgaland-Vargaland to present us the rites and rituals of their foreign land, founded by Leif Elggren and CM von Hausswolff in 1992.
For this special diplomatic mission to Philadelphia, KREV founder and King Leif Elggren and Minister of Revelations Kent Tankred will perform a miracle as Sons of God. Rumor has it they may also be joined by Lary 7, KREV Minister of Audiology and pilot of KREVAIR. They will also bring us some of the paraphernalia of their native land to show, possibly including applications for citizenship."The Kingdoms of Elgaland-Vargaland [KREV] were proclaimed in 1992 and consist of all Border Territories: Geographical, Mental & Digital.
Elgaland-Vargaland is the largest – and most populous realm on Earth, incorporating all boundaries between other nations as well as Digital Territory and other states of existence. Every time you travel somewhere, and every time you enter another form, such as the dream state, you visit Elgaland-Vargaland."
Also appearing is KREV Minister of Lamination Egnekn Montgomery, peforming lamination rituals in honor of his countrymen.
KREV citizen and Skull Defekts member Joachim Nordwall opens with a solo set of electronic drones.
Pre-show discussion on the Kingdoms will be lead by author/musician and fellow KREV citizen Thomas Bey William Bailey. His new book "Micro Bionic : Radical Electronic Music & Sound Art in the 21st Century" (which features a nice chapter on Elggren & Hausswolff) will be available in paperback in time for this show.
