BOOTIK MOOSIK’S HYPERIUM [BOOTIK REC, 2014]

"What did you discover about musical theater?" wondered a Hollywood reporter as impressed by Bootik Moosik’s Broadway aspirations than by their Rock Opera ambition. "There's no money in it," replied the artistes, who reminds us that music is better negotiated as a philanthropic hobby in our digital world. 

And though Bootik Moosik's pact with musical theatre should require them to sacrifice music, where their gifts are huge, for theatre, where they’re but novices; the songs themselves are rich, mocking rock, religion, musical comedy, the classix, and American culture all at once. 

Bootik's Diablo is a midlife whiner, God an unknown quantity, heroes & foes are bigger creeps than both of them respective armies put together while good girl-bad girls set a mean & deadly ‘pozzaz’ agenda. 

The pleasure Bootik takes in this hubris is so ebullient that the satire never turns cheap. And if it reeks of mock self importance, well, how better to bum-rush Western civ and "America's greatest art form" simultaneously ?  –  Sum Gall (Bean Counter Mag & Blog)

GUEIRUSSALAHIM

The glorious city as the theater of HYPERIUM SUITE 

An opera about gods, their minions & the load of pain,
misery & mayhem that follows as dogma fever rears its ugly head.

Reality as allegory of our opera's narrative.

:: HAPPY 50th !

The short answer being... 'Because they bloody well can !
Proposed label for the 78 rpm ‘heavy metal’ printing of the ‘Double A side’ single.

This "way over very special pressing will come with a very limited collector’s edition of a 78rpm portable player for the Bootik fan on the move.

No 33rpm or 45rpm records are planned but the guys are talking about putting out a ‘wax cylinder’ in an homage to all the poor old sods who entirely missed the rock & roll era.

:: THIRD BOOTIK ALBUM 1OO% ROCK OPERA

MINI ROCK OPERA TURNS INTO MONSTER ACT

A recent Bootik meeting yielded a surprising result in a twist of fate worthy of all angels found on a headpin... Zilch according to our suvey & expertise.

 Being perfectly in tune with the result of their endeavor of producing their most demanding & challenging piece of music yet with ‘The Hyperium Suite’; the Bootik boys have now decided, in an act of total inconscient bravado to write a complete no hold barriers rock opera about god & his minions.

’The Hyperium Suite’ will indeed get almost all of Bootik’s attention during the coming months & be elevated to the status of full fledge rock opera with a bad attitude to boot as they boldly jump straight ahead in what, they have no way to know but are willing to admit will be their most grandiose & achieved piece of work to date.

The rationalization of the project goes like this… After completing their 6 months trek of composing, arranging & performing the original ‘Hyperium Suite’, the Bootik lads realized they had only scratched the surface with their 16 minutes opus for the subject revealed itself so rich in possibilities, turns & twists and just begging to be stretched some more...



So following that peculiar line of thoughts; they decided to write a song for each of their 4 principal characters… The Young Man, The Old Man , The WhiteNight & Diablo.

Two songs were written & executed (a haunting rock piece with a Pink Floyd aura titled ‘Compassion’ for The Young Man & a gothic/medieval sort of a ballad for The White Night & frankly they do kick some serious ass indeed.

 Then the funky number ''Father Georges'' came up around Diablo taunting some high priest about his god awful performance while all he seems interested in saving his own sorry ass.

So hey, ‘praise da lord’ indeed & prepare yourself to be musically & emotionally wined & dined, used, abused & oh sooo a bitsy confused or just plain being taken advantage of, in the most respectful way we can muster without loosing our self respect in the ability to rock da shit out of you one & all ! 

The history arc will involve a sacred city, an impossible love, a once matriarchal society facing the rise of obscurantism & a few laughs !

Boys are hard at work as we speak...


OR so they say...
