event Jon Mueller/Death Blues (No Time Like The Present)

While John Mueller may be involved in a number of different projects across the musical spectrum (he was a founding member of groups like Pele, Collections Of Colonies Of Bees, and Volcano Choir), he almost always approaches percussion with a pummeling sense of minimalism that overwhelms and hypnotizes at the same time. So Mueller’s latest project, Death Blues, seems like a bizarre and excitingly maximalist turn for the local musician. The multidisciplinary project, which reaches its first climax in the form of Death Blues (No Time Like The Present), is a show that involves music, dance, visual art, food, and smells. (Yes, smells.) Along with Mueller himself, the show will feature choreography from Molly Shanahan; design work from Dylan Schleicher; music from members of Altos, Field Report, Testa Rosa, and Juniper Tar; and food from pop-up restaurant And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Crumbs.
