Zipperhead,a New Multimedia Performance premiers September 10th at Monkey Town in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

NYC based alternative band, Sineparade has joined forces with acclaimed video artist Alex Itin, to create a unique multimedia show depicting the first decade of the new century in NYC. As the first plane hits on 9/11/01, Wall Street Trader, Andrew Sarchus king of the markets, is safe in a hotel room with his secretary, avoiding entombment in his WTC office. His lovely wife, Marla shocked to hear his irritated voice answer the phone, suffers the first in a series of emotional insults as Andrew’s behavior becomes increasingly erratic.

Andrew’s decline echoes the fall of the American banking system as his aberrant behavior, the result of a growing brain tumor, clouds his judgment. The story is told through a seamless amalgam of new contemporary songs written by Sineparade and dramatic narrations with video accompaniment by Alex Itin. Andrew’s head is “unzipped” by a series of interspersed brief "didactic" video vignettes explaining the neurological basis for his behavior.
