Nosferatu marks the 7th effort for an Austin band that’s increasingly becoming as known for its well-crafted original silent film scores as it is for its wacky, all-over-the-place rock shows.. Last year, The Center for Contemporary Art in Santa Fe, known for hosting acclaimed silent film accompanists from around the nation, called the Czars' soundtrack for the 1929 Lillian Gish silent classic The Wind "as good as any we've seen." In March 2015, the band were artists-in-residence at Texas A&M University, where they gave three lecture-recitals on music for film and silent film that culminated in a live performance of their score for The Wind. They’ve also performed silent film scores at the Kimball Museum, Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum, University of Houston, and several outdoor music and film events. The Invincible Czars' Nosferatu score incorporates violin, glockenspiel, organ, flute, bass clarinet, vocals, music box, loops, electric guitar, bass, synthesizers, singing bowl, tambourine and other hand percussion--all of which is a sight to behold when performed live by only four players! The band always incorporates music from the classical realm into their scores, and this time they've chosen Bela Bartok's Roumanian Folk Dances in a nod to the fictional Count Orlock's home turf. The highlight of their arrangements is a haunting version of Roumanian Dance IV featuring an otherworldly vocal performance by the band's wind mistress Leila Henley.
