INVIZIBLE Fashion Show
Sunday December 10th
7pm - 10pm
$8
at The Fez Ballroom
SW 11th and Stark
INVIZIBLE grew from the razor edge of the Portland performance nightlife, working the stages at Dante's and Devil's Point and strutting on the backs of Societas Insomnia. From stripper to blushing bride, INVIZIBLE's tastes extend across the spectrum of fantasy chic. She presents her first major show next Sunday at The Fez. A prodigous coming out indeed.
To celebrate, we've gathered tribal pop experiment DRUMATTICA, DJs KEITH B and TENTACLES, clothing from fellow designers PEACH and LONDA J, and a special finale suspension from roving circus monster Alea Angelique.
A fashion party of diabolical proportions, Sunday December 10th at the poshest sleazy nightclub in Portland.

In the fall of 2000, Keith Brown and Brian Lehfeldt, got together to experiment with the idea of combining head to head/dual tribal drums over the top of slinky synth beds and pulsing drum loops. “It started out as a simple idea that Brian and I had always talked about doing” Says Brown, “We never really expected for this to blossom into what it is today.” Brown is referring to Drumattica’s massive 6 piece all star line –up featuring members of some of Portland’s biggest bands. Drumattica released the full length CD “A Part of Something” in May 2003 featuring, Rob W and Brian Lehfeldt (Sweaty Nipples, Tv: 616, Everclear and Tri-Polar) Keith B (Tv: 616) and Eric Hellzer, rounding out the line up. Jennifer Folker (Dahlia) as well as DJ Slowburn were part of the fold until recently when “Jen got an offer she couldn’t pass up in New York for a pretty big gig with some pretty big people.” Says Brown, “ We support her 100% as she would for any of us if put in the same position.” Slowburn was off to Japan for similar reasons and the band was suddenly put in an awkward position. “It was a bit disappointing when Keith called me about Jen and Slowburn.”says Hellzer, “But we all knew that this was Rob’s band and he was more than able to carry the load.” Rather than replace Slowburn with another D.J., the band decided to introduce a six string guitar for the first time and they didn’t have to look far. Brown had being touring with Floater playing extra guitar of late and bounced the idea off Floater guitarist Dave Amador. “I was completely into the idea.” Says Amador.” Amador’s style has given Drumattica a more “organic” element and has been an incredible addition.” Says Brown, “The new material we’ve written with this line up is epic & in my mind this is the best version of Drumattica to date.” The band still continues to have guest musicians here and there and a big treat as of late has been special guest appearance’s by the Northwest’s hottest bombshell, Storm Large from Storm and the Balls. “Storm has helped us out in the past’ Says Lefheldt, “and Her and Rob are great together and the crowd loves it.” The band is currently in the process of writing the next album which should be completed early 2005. In the meantime they will be playing a select few shows throughout the Northwest. “We want to get a feel for some of the new songs live before we go in and record.” Says Brown, “Plus, we enjoy playing. Being that our music covers everything from Pop to Electronica to Goth and New Wave, we really get wide range of people at our shows which is great.” So there we have it. What started as an idea to experiment has turned into one of Portland’s biggest bands.
