Seasonal Depression Suite

Description

A new musical by Erik Paparozzi and Gregg Turkington - and Drag City's first-ever Christmas album - Neil Hamburger Presents Seasonal Depression Suite. It tells the story of various patrons stuck in an ordinary hotel during the holidays, wallowing in self-pity and paranoia, reliving personal catastrophes, real or imagined. The musical tapestry woven by Paparozzi and Turkington draws inspiration from musicals, pop, film soundtracks, concept rock albums, new wave mini-masterpieces, and singer-songwriter epics that have captivated their imagination since childhood. A star-studded cast has been assembled, including Neil Finn (Split Enz, Crowded House, Fleetwood Mac), Annabella Lwin (Bow Wow Wow), Alan Bishop (Sun City Girls), Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, the famous singer and artist Puddles Pity Party, comedian Natalie Peyser, J. P. Hasson (Pleaseeasaur), the enigmatic singer (and Frank Sinatra's granddaughter) A.J. Lambert, Erik Paparozzi himself, and, of course, Neil Hamburger.
