The dark glam opera band Timur and the Dime Museum presents a\u00a0galactic multimedia show for the first time on the East Coast in HERE’s intimate Dorothy B. Williams Theatre. \u00a0Fusing avant-garde,\u00a0pop & vaudeville sounds, Timur and the Dime Museum creates a rich\u00a0amalgam of sensibilities with Bjork fierceness, and Screamin\u2019 Jay\u00a0Hawkins theatricality.\u00a0\u00a0Led by the rising opera singer from\u00a0Kazakhstan Timur Bekbosunov, profiled in LA Weekly’s BEST OF LA People\u00a0Issue 2011, the band\u2019s stunning intensity brings songs to cure the new\u00a0depression with a post-punk bohemian attitude. Interactive multimedia,\u00a0conceptualized and designed by World Technology Network fellow\u00a0Jesse Gilbert, along with striking cinematic images by experimental LA\u00a0filmmaker Sandra Powers, will further enhance this macabre evening of musical performance.<\/p>\n

Formed as a result of collaboration with the Klaus Nomi songwriter Kristian Hoffman, dark glam band Timur and the Dime Museum, described by Los Angeles Times as \u201cpunk-operatic spectacle\u201d, has appeared at the prestigious ALOUD series; on America\u2019s Got Talent; opened for Tiger Lilies, The Red Paintings, DeVotchKa, Prince Poppycock; Un-cabaret (Margaret Cho); premiered operas \u201cZoophilic Follies\u201d by Daniel Corral at Redcat Theater\u2019s NOW festival, and \u201cCrescent City\u201d by Anne LeBaron. Led by \u201cstratospheric tenor\u201d (LA Times) Timur Bekbosunov, recently featured in LA Weekly\u2019s BEST OF LA 2011, the band embraces multi-disciplinary collaboration as part of their ongoing work with composers and songwriters.<\/p>\n

Immediately following their successful debut at the ALOUD series at the Mark Taper Auditiorium in LA, Timur and the Dime Museum established a strong following of fans, and received endorsements from artists, such as Amanda Palmer, DeVotchKa and Sondre Lerche. \u00a0The band performed in numerous venues around LA and beyond, including Portland, San Francisco, and Seattle. \u00a0The band creates unconventional and fascinating sounds, combining Timur’s \u201ccharismatic tenor\u201d (LA Times) with electric guitar, upright bass, accordion, bass clarinet, viola, and drums. \u00a0Embracing the notion of multi-disciplinary contemporary projects, T&DM began\u00a0a series of collaborations, directly working with composers on their music. Timur,\u00a0a noted interpreter of contemporary and cross-cultural music, and the members\u00a0of the band, all are graduates of California Institute of the Arts, and individually,\u00a0have performed in countless major projects, productions, festivals and venues\u00a0around the world.<\/p>\n
