Oakland's tUnE-yArDs, the genre-deying music project fronted by Merrill Garbus, will perform a live score for a series of Buster Keaton shorts. It makes sense then that Garbus is being paired with the legendary physical comedian: tUnE-yArDs has been noted for inventive playfulness as evidenced in the music video for the song “Bizness”, rife with facepaint and coreographed dances, shot on a low budget at a public school in Rockridge. tUnE-yArDs pairs up with Oakland-based guitarist Ava Mendosa for the performance.
Garbus perfroms on April 23 at the Castro Theater at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25. For more information, go here.
