ATX Music Series: Invincible Czars

Thursday, April 29th at 8pm

The world’s first feature-length horror film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920 Robert Wiene) tells the story of a group of friends who encounter the mysterious doctor and his scary, sleepwalking sidekick Cesare at a carnival. When a series of murders brings the town to its knees, Franzis sets out to prove Caligari is responsible… but is he?

The Invincible Czars perform their nightmarish-ly fun soundtrack along with the film as an immersive live experience!   Their chilling, tastefully-modern score featuring an impressive blend of traditional acoustic and present-day electric instruments. From delicate passages of longing and love to menacing motifs of dissonant horror and pain, each instrument plays a critical role establishing character themes and creating an aural dreamscape for the film.  “We strive to create soundtracks that give modern -day audiences a context to appreciate these 100-year-old movies,” said Josh Robins, Invincible Czars founder and bandleader. The group draws upon influences from film composers including. Bear McCreary, Angelo Badalmenti, David Buckley, Bernard Herrmann, Danny Elfman and their Austin pals Graham Reynolds and Peter Stopschinski..
