Holiday Bonanza! Mythical Legends and Friends

Hello! We were so honored to play the Holiday Party at our favorite Brooklyn shop, Park Delicatessen in Prospect Heights. Seriously, go there and buy some awesome stuff, cause all their stuff is that. Awesome. What else is awesome? Yule. Yule is the original Christmas, the Pagan celebration that honors this dark and cold time of year and brings the light inside. We worked hard to get our song about Yule ready in time for the show, which we did, and would like to share with you. We also performed our explorational movement piece to the classic "Silent Night." Here it is:



'Tis the time of the greatest darkness and the longest night of the year
Vanquish of the Holly King, the god of the waning year
Queen of the cold darkness giving birth to the child of promise
He is reborn of the goddess and the dying Solar year

The Yule wheel turns, the Yule log burns
This Solstice night, bring dark to light
Red and green, White and gold
Cinnamon, Mistletoe....

The sleigh is the Solar chariot, the horns of the horned god
The land of Shadows
Where death in life becomes life in death
We wish ye health and grace
We wish ye health and grace

Holly on the altar, ashes from the pine
Invite brightness inside
Toasts of cider, ale and wine
Ring the bells it's Christmas time...

..and Hannukah too. As well as Kwanzaa.


Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us and to Park Deli for being so rad and to the Universe for bringing it all together. Happy Yule!

Happy Yule!

Hello friends! It's been a while...but we have been hard at work and have something very special to share with you. In honor of this blessed season upon us, we have been inspired by the Holiday classic Silent Night. Everyone knows this song and can sing along, but few dare to capture the true spirit of this song through movement and exploration of space. Until now.....


But it wasn't easy. Dedication. Perseverance. Practice. Beer. For your viewing pleasure, we are also including this video of the dress rehearsal. Why? Because we're Mythical Legends. That's why.


Our gift to you. Happy Holidays!

Pianos 7/12

This is a photo our friend Danielle took at the show last night. We played the upstairs bar at Pianos in the city with our bff's Crawl Babies. It was a really magical night and is such an endless treat to be able to play music for people. We have another show this Friday the 15th at the amazingly wonderful Park Slope bar Freddy's. Come!

Mythical Legends 6/14 show at Lit Lounge

We had a great time playing last night at Lit. There was such a nice vibe in the room. Our beautiful friend Niqui made this movie of our Mermaid song. Here it is!:



Sunlight streaming through the water led me to you
I rise up, you see me the moon is high, you see me

Take me for a swim
go where you go
I follow free
how long I don't know

He doesn't know, he doesn't know
It's a long way down
It's a slow goodbye
It's a long way down
just to say goodbye

For more show details and to see the performances of Doom Trumpet and Thurlow, which are both excellent check out Poppy's blog here!

Video Prep Time!
