The Scooty & JoJo Show returns to Metro tonight, June 1, 2012, with the epic benefit concert Space Invasion. Expanding the very best of last year's Alien-meets-Queen-meets-Battlestar Fantastica spectacles with Chicago's newest rock choir and an inter-species dance party, Space Invasion is a full-tilt celebration of sci-fi cinema and space rock.
After five record-setting appearances at Metro last year, the incredible band and performers assembled for Scooty & JoJo's Alien-inspired tribute to Queen are back to headline this awesome event. Exploding the huge harmonies of the iconic anthem rock is the debut of Chicago's new 35-member choir under the direction of Jonny Stax and Nicholas Davio. Acclaimed performer Ryan Lanning returns to channel Sigourney Weaver's steely glare and Freddie Mercury's soaring vocals while Scooty's massive alien queen drops her abundance of eggs over the rapturous crowd.
Kicking off the night is JoJo's Cantina Lounge at 9pm with DJ Tess of Slo 'Mo spinning sexy slow jams, rare grooves and spacey funk. From 10:15 to midnight, the Alien-meets-Queen sets are interwoven with outrageous sci-f-infused dance, comedy, and daring-do as curated by Battlestar Fantastica's Jyl Fehrenkamp. The live concert transforms into a DJ-hosted dance party at midnight. Fans are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite extra-terrestrials and represent their species, transforming Metro into an impromptu intergalactic United Nations.
