GAUCHO KNIFE is a new project that blends music, and animation into something more immersive than a traditional band.
Their world unfolds on Social Media through short clips & comic book style carousel posts, where the music is the soundtrack.
Live shows will combine holograms with real musicians, creating a unique hybrid-performance experience.
PLOT:
In Scarlett Town—a lawless European seaport that feels like a dreamlike collision of Odessa and Berlin, if such a place could exist, a couple of misfits band together to defeat their common enemy - starvation.
Klaus was a musician before the first war shut down the labels and all the records turned free. Now he doesn’t care about anything but old guitars and vintage American cars. He understands that music is 90 percent hair, of which he’s still got a full head, and if he wanted he could start a band like Brian Jonestown Massacre if they were good. Anyway, he usually listens to jazz.
Lotte sings like Moe Tucker when she’s not selling formula and other scarcities on the black market. It’s through her underworld boss that she got the night club gig, cause at least it actually pays.
As their residency builds momentum and word of mouth spreads our two heroes find themselves at the center of an avant-garde world of degenerates and socialites… all hoping to party one last night before the whole world goes belly up.
Private Eyes, Fuel, Leather, Ultra-Violence, Missing Heiresses, and more all pass through this world.
It’s three penny opera meets two lane black top.
