The Invincible Czars are best known as the masters of silent horror film accompaniment from years of touring the US and Canada with our own original, tastefully modern live soundtracks… but that’s not how we got started! We developed our own brand of weird, cinematic, instrumental music mixing an unconventional blend of orchestral and rock instruments in the clubs of Austin, TX starting around 2003. We opened for bands like Secret Chiefs 3, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Melt Banana, etc. but our eclectic instrumentation and broad scope quickly led us to crossovers into the fine arts realm (starting with our Austin-tacious version of The Nutcracker Suite.) In 2007, we started accompanying silent films with our own tastefully modern, original live soundtracks at the first Alamo Drafthouse in downtown Austin. We kept adding films and traveling farther and farther. In 2016, our soundtrack for Nosferatu struck a chord with horror and classic cinema fans nationwide and we’ve been focused primarily on silent horror film soundtracks ever since. Now, we operate like combination rock band and chamber ensemble mixing strings, woodwinds and other orchestral instruments with drums, bass and guitar. We still know how to rock but our shows are less raucous and we keep our shirts on… usually. Do you like Primus, Frank Zappa, Devo, Danny Elfman, Mr. Bungle, Goblin, Tchaikovsky, Monty Python and Louis Armstrong? If so, you might like what we’re doing!
