Missoula Oblongata

Feb 14, here at Ball Hall 8pm

Deep in the hollows of the boarded up stadium, a barkeep sets his blender to pulse, a traveling salesman hawks his popcorn, and a bird with glorious plumage gores one or two people a year, on average. Meanwhile, an unusual young person makes plans to go underground. Because if your world extends only as far as the scoreboard and the nosebleed seats, who will ever understand your sense of humor? "Clamlump", the Missoula Oblong...ata's new touring production promises the awe of misunderstanding, the privacy of laughter, and a sky dark with feathers. 

The Missoula Oblongata presents Clamlump, the company's latest full-size touring play. This one is of course complete with an original score performed live by Travis Sehorn (pebble light) and all of the puppetry, animated junk, and densely layered language that they've become known for.

DONATIONS FOR TOURING BAND YO

This here site be for compilations

To the Chicago underworld:

I'm starting this compilation label as a means to release the awfullyterrible amount of music that might be going unnoticed around Chicago. Planning on keeping it to Chicago dawgs, but then again who cares later probably.

-This will always be compilation style
-It will always be free on the internet
-There will eventually be physical media
-It could suck
-It could rule
WE'LL SEE!

Ballhalla's first release Deep Shit is a compilation of music people made during that unbelievable snow storm, so it's all whimsical an beautiful n shit.  A pretty righteous testament to how people can utilize their time at the drop of nature's dime.  Not everyone on this comp is from Chicago, so see I don't care already.

Coming out this week whenever I get it done! If anyone built an igloo and recorded in it, lemme know.
