About Angie Reed (from her myspace page)
Angie Reed is an artist, musician and performer who has lived and
worked in Berlin for the last decade.
The Barbara Brockhaus Live Secretary Show has been performed all over
Europe, Scandinavia and Great Britain. It has also been performed in
Isambul, Moscow and Tokyo. The Best Of Barbara Brockhaus and the
Secretary Show is a saucy repertoir of story telling by a bored
secratary named Barbara Brockhaus. The Barbara Brockhaus Secretary Show
is a one hour rhyming tongue twister performance, slide-show and
concert, all written and performed by Angie Reed. Barbara B. keeps
herself from drowning in the monotony of her job, by escaping with
either erotic fantasies or other visions of dramas, illustrated by the
slide projectons of her drawings, and gives a real show behind her
desk. "Angie Reed presents The Best Of Barbara Brockhaus with music for
the laZy and not the bureaucraZy".
The new performance show to accompany the new album "XYZ FREQUENCY" is
a projected animation show to be performed on stage with and about time
and mind travel. Thru worlds inbetween life, death and parallel
universes Angie slips thru dimensions into numerous characters.
Subsequently, Angie becomes a channel for souls, who, never having had
the chance to do so in their earthly lives, are able to sing their
tales of lifes twists and turns. Live. And the spirit of pop-culture
takes the stage to introduce:
BEND THE TRUTH IN THE CONFESSION BOOTH -Berlin, 1930s. A nun, Sister
Louise, is excommunicated after being caught ...the Augenblick the
light switch went click! , under the cloak of another nun. Having left
the convent shes embraced by Jazz nights and cock-tail tangos of
absinth and opium. She tells of what happens behind the convent walls
when night falls to lesbian writters of the scene and ends up in Paris
as a Situationist.
DANCING TARANTELLA TO A MACHINE GUN - (a mobster ballad) a young
mafioso enjoys drinking champaign while entertaining the brides maids
at a wedding -having fun. Next its dancing tarantella to a machine
gun?. He has no fable for hiding under tables but, yes, he did duck
when the bullet struck his silk tux - and ...those boys made a bad
choice!
U.F.O. A-GO-GO a young couple heading for a hot-spot to make out, on a
country road in South Dakota, get beamed up a port-hole in a blue
Toyota and abducted by a U.F.O., to have their specimen shecked out by
aliens.
Sinister characters like the MISTRESS OF GRAND GUIGNOL, a Serie Noir
actress in Weimar Germany serving whippings to Schleppers whilst
practicing Yoga of the left-hand path, have their debut. Cameo Drexians
are encountered in YES, WE KNOW. Squat punks are up to date on
celebrity gossip reading the Gala (the german equivalent to Peoples
Magazine) in DINGS BUMS BUMST DINGS DA. Fassbinder scenereos roll with
LONGEST DAYS IN SUMMERTIME, while BABOON OF THE LOOM, CHERRY BLOSSOM
and GEISTESBLITZ supply the listener with and earfull of instrumental
hit and miss bliss, that is, if you dig acid-free-jazz.
How about some glam. Prowl on an italian disco dance floor DISCO
TELEFONINO and let your cell phone drop out of a window.
Although the music is a cross of orient and occident - its flooding
with POP! An ocean and a deep-sea voyage down to the octopus garden of
POP! HUSTLE A HUSTLER speaks for itself! THE GOLD CHAINED LEOPARD OF
THE GHETTO -a New York City cool operator, 1979, is hiding out in the
woods from the N.Y.P.D. cause hes a tax-free P.I.M.P. ... ...although
the lay low in these woods is no good on my fro, it beats kissin Bubbas
ass on Skid Row!
