Many of us have a three-day weekend and that means its one of few Sundays a year when hitting a concert and having a few beers doesn’t mean starting off the work week with a splitting headache and bags under the eyes.

With that being said, I highly recommend you check out Electropolis Plays Metropolis this weekend. Electropolis is a local avant-garde psychedelic jazz meets experimental rock quartet known for their improvisational talents with homemade instruments and song structure. But this Sunday is special — it’s their performance of the soundtrack to Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, the classic 1920s silent sci-fi film.

Beyone the feat of creating a live-action soundtrack that actually fits the action of the film, the group will position itself at various locations throughout the theater, so the audience is sitting in live surround sound. You can read more about it in Thursday’s Pioneer Press article here. I have the DVD of the first and only other time it has been performed in ‘04, and it really is one of those rare experiences. If I’ve piqued your interest but you still need another little nudge, you can read my interview with the group here.

Hope to see you there! Your boss never knew Sunday could be so fun.
