Announcing: The Bröthership!

June 10th, 2010


So, those of you who got our email blast have already heard about the Saab 900 that is soon to be transformed into a mythical winged beast on wheels. The Bröthership will be a flagship of Rock n Roll and will represent the BROS mission to the general public.

Thanks to the generosity of the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts, BROS will be participating in the 17th Annual Art Car Show at Artscape this summer! Thanks to Holly Klemm (who is coordinating the Art Car and who owns the most excellent “Blue Hawaiian” art car) and Larry Klemm of Honest Larry’s Used Cars (call 443-280-1035 and mention the BROS for a hook-up!) who helped us get involved in the festival.

The Car is a 1988 Saab 900, and presents the BROS with a humble palette that we will make fly to ultimate heights. A few highlights of the design….

- A massive, glowing, smoke-billowing, horned skull will decorate the hood of the saab.

- The roof will be converted into a Castle Turret with Drawbridge. From these heights a demigod of rock will hold court and play some wicked air guitar.

- 12 Foot Wings of Gold will cover the entire length of the car, creating an approximate 20 foot total wingspan for the car in its truest form.

- Stained Glass will decorate the three rearmost windows.

Lots of other insane and hilarious features will be all over this thing.  We really are looking forward to this car being so epic and insane that you will fall over in laughter or in worship the moment that you see it.

Wanna help build it? Email baltimorerockopera AT gmail.com with ART CAR in the subject line.  We’ll let you know what we need and the secret location of our next art car meeting/build date.

Wanna help fund it? Boy are we broke! Any monetary donation would be HUGELY appreciated.  It will help us buy MORE LASERS, MORE LEDs and the other high-tech machinery needed to get this beast moving.  BROS prides themselves on doing HUGE THINGS with a small amount of money.  Your donation of $20 will take us many miles in this automobile.   Email baltimorerockopera at Gmail.com for business sponsorship opportunities.
