If you truck with the Mayans, you probably believe that the end of the world is nigh — yup, this great spinning globe will officially go kaputt on December 21. What better way to celebrate the “the end” (beautiful friend) with a really rad, crowdsourced music video from Hare Krishna sister act, Prince Rama? No, “crying” is not an acceptable answer.
Famous stuntman David Blaine has had a pretty shocking weekend — not of the strippers-booze-cocaine-and-body-in-a-trunk variety, but rather in the literal sense. Yup, Blaine has gone on a bender, one that involves no food, no sleep and a 1,000,000 volt cocoon of electricity streaming from seven Tesla coils.
The other week, sisters Taraka and Nimai Larson — a.k.a. Prince Rama — helped us say bye-bye to the dog days at our Unboxed/DUMBO Summer Friday event. During their theatrical performance, the duo busted out a ton of new songs from their upcoming album, Ten Hits of the End of the World, a poppy effort that comprises tunes by fictional bands who died and released hits during the world’s many apocalypses. Missed the show? Well, we have every single song right here on video, culled from the 7-hour livestream we hosted on the day of the event.
If you attended last week’s Unboxed/DUMBO Summer Friday event, you likely became an instant fan of Prince Rama, who we predict will blow up to Grimes-level proportions following the release of their next album, Top Ten Hits of the End of the World. Sisters Taraka and Nimai Larson put on a singularly theatrical show for us — complete with trailing veils, fake blood and plenty of frantic dancing — and now they’re aiming to take that show to the big (or at least computer) screen with their very own “Now-Age Psych Opera” called Prince Rama and the Scorpion Tornado. Funding, they hope, will come from Kickstarter.
