This is something you want to go to, I guarantee it. If you live in Perth, you’ve really got very little excuse not to hang out with me on Feb 27, watching me rock a specially crafted one-off show in the comfort of that grand old dame of Mt Lawley, The Astor Theatre. I’m putting a lot of effort into making sure this is a show to remember, and tickets are going to sell out so book now at Heatseeker (follow the link).

Here’s the press release:

TOMÁS FORD’S DISCO BUNKER

You’ve seen, or at least heard about, Tomás Ford. He’s the showman who plays electro to punk kids, puts on confronting cabarets, dances on the every conceivable surface and has as much fun as he can with audiences.

You haven’t seen him like this. Even if you took in his controversial One Night Stand show from back in 2007, his runaway hit Artrage Festival show Tomás Ford vs The Audience in 2006 or any of his appearances at pubs or festivals around the country, this is still so far on the next level from those shows as to be unrecognisably awe inspiring.

Ford’s art is in manipulating audiences and harnessing chaos. It’s one thing to see him in a pub or at a festival, but there’s only so much he can do in those spaces; when you put him in a theatre, everything is maxxed out. He has more control. He can tailor the show to the space. For this show, we’re talking about new costumes, video work, a unique performance environment and a series of happenings that may never happen again.

If you want to see Tomás Ford at his best, you’ve only got one night to do it. That night is Saturday February 27 at The Astor Theatre on Beaufort Street in Mount Lawley.  Be warned, tickets for this show are limited and will sell out. They are twenty dollars (plus booking fee). You can get them from http://www.heatseeker.com.au, Planet Video, Star Perth or Mills Records.
