director — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:47:23 +0000

After 2 successful shows at the Florida State Museum of Art and Bird’s Aphrodisiac

Shack, Glitter Chariot returns to the Tallahassee area for 1st Friday at Railroad Square

in the 621 Gallery. The group will be back together for a week of workshopping songs

for an upcoming record and performances in New Orleans, Los Angeles and New York

and will be highlighting some of the songs in a new sculpture/performance during 1st

Friday.

Entitled Magnificent Obsession: Scene One, Glitter Chariot promises a night of deep

and touching songs about love and the loss often associated with it. The songs are

inspired by the continued exploration into melodramas of the 1950s and in particular

those of the master Douglas Sirk, from which the title is derived.
