About Me |
|
| Morella & The Wheels Of If have been called haunting cabaret, musical theatre, retro romantic, and even underwater noir by fans and friends. During a Morella show the audience will enjoy a taste of free Lucid Absinthe prepared for them on stage, dancing, flowers, and sometimes a look at Vincent van Gogh’s lost ear. Influenced by a time when a bit of romance lingered in the air; Morella hand makes art that otherwise might be forgotten in our modern times like flip books, thaumatropes, bookmarks, and their own CDs. When projection screens are available at a Morella show the band has been known to show original films, video, and photography that they have created to harmonize with the music.Morella & The Wheels Of If was formed about a year ago in New Orleans by siblings Aeryk Laws, pianist/ composer/singer and Laura Laws, writer/singer. From the beginning Anastacia Ternasky was a big part of the band singing and influencing the songs. Aeryk Laws is classically trained in piano and rockingly trained in guitar. He brings a mix of melancholy melodies and furious pounding to the piano that is astounding. Morella realized that though they still wanted the intimate feel of playing in a parlor with a larger audience they might want a fuller sound. The band quickly added long time friend Edward Payne on the drums. He plays on his own hand-made suitcase drum set to keep the vintage feeling warm and alive at the shows.Morella & The Wheels Of If have performed theatre pieces in DramaRama, an annual New Orleans theatre festival and Fringe, a performance arts festival. Both performances were based around Morella songs and received great success. Recently, the band traveled to New York to play Dances of Vice/Victorian festival. In New Orleans, Morella performs at local bars: Circle Bar, Dragons Den, Hi-Ho Lounge, and One-Eyed Jacks to name a few. Morella has enjoyed much success playing art gallery events at Poets and Big Top.We are currently working on our debut album entitled Shipwrecked. .. Add to My Profile | More Videos |
