Faith and the Muse Bring Ankoku Butoh Tour to Smalls
The tour is their most ambitious theatrical undertaking yet, with a 9-person live line-up, featuring butoh/tribal fusion dancers, a full string quartet, and taiko drums. In addition to their usual rock set up. banners, projected visuals, and atmospheric staging add to the otherworldly ambience of the show.
Known for their experimentation with sounds and cultural influences; Faith And The Muse looks to the east for inspiration on their latest CD/DVD/Book : ankoku butoh :.
The use of Taiko drums and orchestral arrangements, mixed with Monica Richards' serenely evocative vocals and William Faith's guitar work, adds new depth to the band's genre-busting sound which incorporates rock/punk/world/jazz.
Their first two albums, Elyria and Annwyn and Beneath the Waves are considered highly influential in the development of darkwave.
Faith And The Muse recently returned from the European leg of the tour where they garnered rave reviews and a #1 selling Alternative album in Germany.
The tour will be making a stop at Smalls bar in Hamtramck on Sunday, April 18.
