Eli Valley
Artist Description
Eli
Valley, maker of mind-bending comics, teams up with Jeremiah Lockwood and The
Sway Machinery, makers of mind-bending melodies, for an evening of neurotic
superheroes, paranoid turtles, memories, music and mayhem. Valley’s work
has brought back a marauding sensibility to The Forward, the landmark Jewish
newspaper formed in 1897 as a bulwark of secular Jewish culture in
America. The Sway Machinery has reinvented and reinvigorated cantorial
melodies for a post-punk age. Together, they play off each other like a
rabbi and cantor of a synagogue on the other side of sanity. Watch them mix and mash styles, share personal stories
and narrate comics to a live, avant-semitic soundtrack, bringing a kinetic new
spin to contemporary Jewish culture.
