What is a SIMULVISION?

Resident house band, Agency E, will be performing the two hour rock opera style show titled “The Governors of War” both Friday May 23rd and Saturday May 24th. Incorporating video projections, computer generated audio, and live musical instruments, “The Governors of War” pushes the boundaries of underground entertainment and culture.
Those attending the highly creative yet unpredictable show should expect the intensity of a rock and roll show along with the experience of watching a movie, well, actually watching two movies played simultaneously.
“A Simulvision gets the viewers thinking about the coincidences in the videos, asking themselves if it was planned or not”, says Jason Wolf of The Agency. “The planned cues and improvisational music passages played by the band synchronize with the projections in exciting ways, giving the show an edgy feel of unpredictability. We are all looking forward to the debut show next weekend at The Agency and invite everyone to join us and check it out.”
History of the Simulvision
The first Simulvision was performed at in San Francisco by an psychedelic/acid rock band, Spork, in late 1998. The Simulvision was an idea pollinated by the like minds of Spork and Jacque of The Werepad, where the Simulvisions were hosted. The popularity of the Simulvisions grew over time, eventually selling out seats and having high profile guests attend such as Chet Helms, father of San Francisco’s “1967 Summer of Love” and founder / manager of Big Brother and the Holding Company.

Simulvision Shows were the place to go to get “underground” style entertainment with a touch of class and sophistication. There were nine Simulvision shows in total before the last performance in 1999.
Future of the Simulvision
Now, almost 10 years later, Agency E (resident house band for The Agency) are bringing the psychedelic happenings of the Simulvision to Albuquerque. This is the first of many SIMULVISION shows The Agency plans on hosting throughout the summer and fall. Calling on friends and guest musicians, Agency E plans on inviting guest musicians to sit in on new shows, adding yet another dynamic of mystery and excitement to each event.

This is one of those modded levels of mario bros that plays itself. its pretty nuts to watch, complete with the happy hardcore, but, is oddly satisfying.

Normally i detest marching bands, but this one was nerdy enough to quiet the rage inside me when i hear annoying trumpets playing crap in unison. skip to 3:10 to get the best bits.
