Titanium Sporkestra's Big F***ing Show on East Marginal Way
By Jack Brummet, NW music editor
We went to a great show last night near Georgetown. Titanium Sporkestra had a fund-raiser to fund their trip to HonkFest in Austin. The benefit was in an old warehouse building in which they set up several performance spaces. There were three or four bands in the various rooms and bars, and then Titanium Sporkestrta played two sets in a covered area outside, which I think is essentially a staging/loading dock area. A barrel bonfire was roaring. These are two video clips from Sporkestra's first set at midnight.
One of the tubas was illuminated inside the bell (you can see it in the vids), and on a couple of songs, several of the trumpets had gas jets just inside the bell, so the 'bones were shooting out flames as they played and marched around. And to top that, they also had two teams creating DIY fireworks, using grinders and pieces of iron. These grinders shot sparks and cinders about fifteen feet in the air, which *mostly* cooled off before they scattered over the crowd. It was a little spooky, but fantastic to see these two streams of sparks cross-crossing over the floor as they band played and moved among the crowd.
It was a great show, with a fascinating crowd in a cool venue. As part of the VIP admission we also got swag bags with a Sporkestra beer cozy, a sweet t-shirt, and a copy of their new album which they just released last night. The pass also included free drinks from a rag-tag and hilarious bar. The first drinks we had were probably triples or quadruples! 'Round about midnight, we saw our bartender clearly in his cups.
