Join us on Thursday June 25 and July 9 at Blue Starlite Drive-In for a screening of the classic silent western "The Return of Draw Egan" featuring the music of Ennio Morricone performed live by Montopolis. 2013's Funniest Person in Austin, comedian Mac Blake and his partner Carlos LaRotta have rewritten the movie in the irreverent and absurdist style typical of Master Pancake Theater. It's a hilarious and rowdy good time. Purchase tickets here.
Montopolis combines original music with film and live narration to produce critically acclaimed, audience-engaging performances.
"a night of beautiful chamber music, but with electric guitar and the twang of pedal steel giving a Texas kick to the keys and strings."
"a multimedia love letter to the Texas coast, with voices and images from the Gulf set to an original score"
"The group can create forceful sounding songs that have a bit of rock ‘n roll snarl, but it is also capable of mournful classical sounding pieces ... the group’s range of expression is striking."
" A Prairie Home Companion with a Texas twist, this program from Indie classical group Montopolis tells the stories and myths of our rugged state."
