Texas Trip: A Carnival of Ghosts

A psychedelic journey through abandoned drive-ins, places of cultural madness, portraits of underground artists, noise music and primal masks. Directorial duo Maxime Lachaud and Steve Balestreri’s beguiling debut feature is a societal portrait of underground and alternative artists.

Live performance from Attic Ted—a musical/visual weirdo cabaret country carnival art-house performance artists from Texas, who utilize homemade masks and an un-traditional approach to entertaining.

For over 20 years Grady Roper and Coby Cardosa have been releasing albums and touring the world, sharing their odd-ball approach of combining Hammond organ, twangy guitar, synthesizer sounds, clarinet, drums and character based vocals. They could be described as a love child between influences such as: Butthole Surfers, The Residence, Klaus Nomi, and Talking Heads… quirky and gothic, yet danceable and funny, yet dark and unnerving. One reviewer says “It’s like going to the Wurst Festival, where someone dosed the beer with LSD.”
