Waiting for Spinal Wind:
Songs and stories from five decades of
Guest/Levy/McKean/O’Hara/Shearer collaboration
Sockrates Sock Puppet Carnival of Morals and Logic hosts a watch party of its February 2021 film project celebrating the Christopher Guest canon.
Five years ago, facing down a bleak Covid winter, two dozen musicians and actors with Madison ties joined forces at a distance to present a virtual variety show featuring music and vignettes from the beloved mockumentary films This is Spinal Tap, Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, and A Mighty Wind. Bonus tracks include a shout-out to Schitt’s Creek and an early pre-Tap collaboration, taking the viewer on a musical tour spanning five decades, from the late 1970s through the 2010s.
The film premiered as a virtual watch party in February 2021. Tonight, the puppets invite folks to join them for an in-person celebration of local creativity. The program begins with a short set of songs and sock puppets at 3:30 pm, followed by the film screening at 4:00 (run time 55 minutes). Pay-what-you-wish admission will benefit Muso Madison.
It only took a grinding global pandemic and a major caesura in the live performance sector to bring this multitalented lineup together on a bill. Contributing artists represent a panoply of bands in the Madison music scene, including Yid Vicious, Disaster Passport, V05, Madison Opera, Hirt Alpert, The Gomers, The Drain, Furious Bongos, Steely Dane, Über Alice, Loving Cup, and many more:
