The Love Markets to Celebrate WORLD OF YOUR DREAMS CD Release at ACT, 8/10

Four years of delicious decadence and bristling subversion set the stage at ACT for a celebration like none other as The Love Markets unleash their powerhouse debut CD, World Of Your Dreams.

After thrilling sold-out audiences at ACT's Bullitt Cabaret two summers running, the acclaimed Weimar-inspired band returns to perform the new CD in the Falls - brandishing, as always, their magnificent "songs of love and revolution" and infamous uniforms of military lingerie.

Presented by the Central Heating Lab at ACT, this one-night-only party delights with an opening act from The Half Brothers before detonating the main event: The Love Markets - a musical force of nature bent on launching its audience into the world of their dreams.

THE BAND:

Angie Louise - Vocals, piano, songs

Robertson Witmer - Accordion

David Marriott Jr. - Trombone

Dave Pascal - Bass

Chris Monroe - Drums

Founded in 2008, The Love Markets are a Weimar Berlin-inspired band who make songs of love and revolution. Guided by the exploratory artistic spirit of 1920s Berlin, the mission of The Love Markets is to create and perform new songs that resonate with that spirit and to re-interpret vintage Weimar cabaret for the world of today. Uniformed in military lingerie and armed with an arsenal of genre-bending songs that showcase the band's emotional range and intoxicating theatricality, The Love Markets are equally at home in a dark bar, a grand theatre, and a carnival tent. The Love Markets have performed at City Arts Fest, Seattle International Cabaret Festival, TV's ArtZone with Nancy Guppy, Seattle Art Museum, ACT, Can Can, as special guests in concert with Seattle Men's Chorus, as "house band" for Open Space's Burlesco Notturno, and as perennial musical hosts of the Gregory Awards for Excellence In Theatre. The Love Markets' debut CD, World Of Your Dreams, will be available August 2013, featuring eleven songs by Love Markets singer-pianist Angie Louise and two songs by Weimar composer Hanns Eisler .
