NVR-NDR performing with My Velcroe



As some of you may know, My Velcroe and NVR-NDR have collaborated in the past. Emily did guest vocals on "Be Who You Are," the first NVR-NDR song to ever be released. I helped produce the as-of-yet undreleased My Velcroe tracks "Holy Mountain" and "Jungians."

You can hear a clip of "Jungians" in this video:::



Check out the Ms. Blong's press release for the The Mythology of Broken Velcroe Land
There are 4 dates!

June 24th
July 1st
July 8th
July 15th


"When pop art meets quilting meets Dr. Seuss meets vaudville camp meets rockshow meets rave meets psycedelic childrens show meets the echo park rock scene, you get The Mythology of Broken Velcroe Land - a Music Spectacular!

Creator and star of the show, Emily Blong describes herself as a hunter of invisible beasts. She spends most nights alone in her home studio playing God to an imaginary place that she calls Broken Velcroe Land. Whether it be converting a fatalist sense of humor into sultry piano pop, hand-stitching wall sized-fabric kajji inspired tapestries, or writing her own "Seussian" style mythologies, everything she creates serves as a puzzle piece to an ever-expanding story about this vivid penal-inspired parallel dimension manifested through musical mantra..

A quilt show gone live action cartoon, Emily's extensive installation of plushie demon dolls and wall-sized tapestries will transport visitors into Broken Velcroe Land and the setting of a magical story about waking up in your own personal hell...and its adoreable. Through a dynamic Electra-cabaret performance, your musical tour guides, Emily Blong and her troop of imaginary friends known as My Velcroe, will unlock the story of this colorful plush purgatory and its synthetic fur inhabitants. You may be tempted to bring children, but you'd be advised to cover their ears at parts because Emily likes to keeps it real; real dark.

Opening June 24, 2011 and the three fridays thereafter, mimes, magicians, puppeteers, dancers and cameo guests will join the performance each week, including garagerock supervillans, Haunted Tiger, a plushie pizza superraver called NVR-NDR, and deathrock star Lucas Lanthier who will pop in with a few tricks. While guests enjoy the open bar, every show will kickoff in the back garden with a new puppet show for grown-ups by Dirtbike Theatre or Three Chairs theatre. If you love magic then be there on July 15th when the Magic Castle’s "W. C. Fields Bar Magician of the Year," six time winner and all star Pop Haydn, will open with his amazing Post-Modern Medicine Show.

Move over Chicks On Speed, and give our regards to Hr. Pufnstuf, life and death are D.I.Y. for Echo Park's own Kate Bush who closes the show with the moral, "Don't let your imaginary friends trap your real friends in your suicide..unless they like music and pizza". This deliciously sinister art/music/theatre hybrid is a must see for crafters, hipsters, post-hipsters, whats-a-hipsters? deathrockers, non-rockers, ravers, high-brow art fans, low-brow artists, high-brow perverts, cynics, suicidal recluses, music critics, food critics, puppet lovers, your mom and dad, bored intellectuals, handicapped gorillas, and those who are "dying" for something new. Who thought burning in hell would be this much fun?

Sancho.1549 Sunset Blvd. Echo Park 90026

Doors open at 7:30, show starts promptly at 8:30.

101210: NVR-NDR comic concept art.



I am extremely happy to say that my younger brother Squibbit (AKA Evan Shechet) has taken over artistic production of the first NVR-NDR comic. As you can see from some of his early sketches, this is going to be incredibly badass. I am hoping to release the comic as a free zine and for online download.

100308 NVR-NDR update


A bit of new concept art.

I've commissioned David Pursley, video game graphic artist and owner of Kavika Works gallery to do a art piece for NVR-NDR. David is a amazing artist, who worked for Blizzard on classic video games such as Diablo, and Starcraft, and I can't wait to see what he does with my character concepts.

Been working with Bjorn AKA Kawaiietly Please AKA Ono-Sendai on the set for the NVR-NDR show March 27th at HM157. Please help spread the word! It will be a glorious maelstrom of light and sound. We are gonna start practicing later this week, I can't wait.

We are also setting up a cyber-show in the future, floating in virtual space. Stay tuned.

^_^

091003 NVR-NDR Update





Just got back from traveling with the Ming & Ping West Coast Spicy Tour. I've been a bit long between updates, so I decided to post my current demo and some old concept art. Hopefully I'll have some demos with vocals sometime soon!

090906 Update on NVR-NDR




Currently screwing around with scratch vocals for NVR-NDR untitled demo_3. A little more difficult than I had anticipated. Story line is coming together pretty good though, a romantic interest is beginning to take shape. Going to start on a new demo today hopefully. Got inspired by Phil Collins - "In the Air Tonite" and Journey - "Don't Stop Believing". Hellz yeah.

The world of NVR-NDR




The world of NVR_NDR runs on different metaphysical rules than the universe we currently inhabit. In practice, it is similar to a video game, or a solipsistic dream. A soul born into NVR_NDR comes into existence full grown and with all of its faculties, although it must still progress to achieve its full potential by questing through "the game".

The topography of NVR_NDR is a shifting mass of shapes and light. Time and space are shaped more like a vortex than a curve. Objects on the edge of the senses dissolve into non-existence. Various levels/areas are inhabited by seraphim-like guardian creatures who attack souls to test their worth. Only those strong enough to defeat the guardians can proceed; if the soul is defeated it will become one of the guardian creatures.
