extraordinary weddings

Avant-garde icon searching for synth-wave-pop newcomer!

Registered partnership!
When one party of a wedding (Sissy Nobby) performs a radically gay transvaluation of the sexplicit Q&A raps to high-pitched hip hop beats of New Orleans bounce music while, with her supernaturally beautiful androgynous voice, the other party is something like a superstar goddess in queer culture heaven (Antony), then the Austrian legal framework can approve but a registered partnership! We shake our butts and in the highest falsetto tunes we go: ban marriage!

Divorce from Björk and dream wedding!
Even Bedroom Community activist Valgeir Sigurdsson dumped Björk (after long years of a producer marriage) in order to exchange his artificial Icelandic dreamland for the dream wedding with the avant-garde grand seigneur Rhys Chatham.

Rajasthan—far from home!
The first five weddings have proven that gender identities are negotiable matters of definition. With the bonding of New York folk poet Diane Cluck and the musical collective Rajasthan Roots, situated between Indian tradition and Western modernism, best women CocoRosie, whose own family roots span from Syria to the native Americans, will see to an inter-cultural model alliance…
