Negativland currently has two very different
live shows they are performing...
NEGATIVLAND PRESENTS
It's All In Your Head FM
Legendary trickster band Negativland brings a new version of their weekly radio broadcast (Over the Edge, on the air since 1981) to the live stage for the very first time, mixing music, found sounds, found dialog, scripts, personalities, and sound effects within a “radio” theater-of-the-mind. "It's All In Your Head FM” is a two-hour-long, action-packed look at monotheism, the supernatural God concept, and the all-important role played by the human brain in our beliefs. Dr. Oslo Norway is your “radio” host, and Christianity, Islam and Judaism are the featured religions, as Negativland asks you to contemplate some complex, serious, silly, and challenging ideas about human belief in this audio cut-up mix best described as a “documentary collage”. “IAIYH FM” is a compelling and uniquely fun presentation of sticky theological concepts, which has actually been known to provoke arguments for days after the show is over.

NEGATIVLAND PRESENTS
Booper Symphony #1:
An Extraordinary Rendition In Three Movements
Audio collage group Negativland takes a break from the cut-and-paste format of it's other touring live show ("It's All In Your Head FM") with a new performance piece of modern noisemaking - "BOOPER SYMPHONY #1: An Extraordinary Rendition in Three Movements". Originally invented by Negativland's The Weatherman in the mid-1970s, the first Booper was a 100% analog "circuit bent" instrument, created entirely from salvaged parts, which fed back upon itself to generate its sound. For the first time, Negativland lets the Boopers do all the talking in a wordless wall of electronic sound, each member controlling a small arsenal of the homemade devices. No computers, no samplers, and very few words.
To make a complete evening out of this show, Negativland's opening "act" is often a showing of their feature length video "Our Favorite Things."
