Mucca Pazza: Running Out of Space
Original works to be announced from the stage †
*World Premiere Performance
^ Midwest Premiere Performance
† Illinois-based Composer
Mucca Pazza performs selections from its ever-evolving repertoire in a theatrical performance at Evanston's SPACE. Chicago's most colorful composers collective will present works from Mucca Pazza's stylistically eclectic and extensive 21-year catalog (composed by the band) in perhaps the only Ear Taxi concert featuring cheerleaders.
Mucca Pazza assembled itself in a steel mill parking lot along the Chicago River in 2004. Combining marching band traditions and street theater spectacle with rock and roll sensibilities, Mucca Pazza quickly found a home for its 30-odd members in the thriving Chicago underground music scene. An unparalleled eccentric, frenetic visual presence and genre-bending original compositions earned Mucca Pazza critical praise and a loyal local following.
