BANALITY ATTACK Preview

 


Here is a sneak preview of the upcoming documentary directed by Jeff Mizushima, Banality Attack, starring Les Sewing Sisters (Lun*na Menoh + Saori Mitome) with the added presence of Tosh Berman.

Les Sewing Sisters embark on a uniquely intimate tour across Japan, performing in the closet spaces of private homes. Narrated through Tosh’s observations, the film follows the journey from one household to another, as he serves as MC, interviewer, roadie, and occasional source of anxiety. Along the way, we meet the generous homeowners (and their closets) who make each show possible.

What could possibly go wrong?

Les Sewing Sisters Live from their closet via Moment House Friday July 30 7PM (Pacific Coast Time)

 


Les Sewing Sisters are Lun*na Menoh and Saori Mitome. On their upcoming self-titled debut, you hear noise from sewing machines fine-tuned via computer and the human voice. There are no guitars, drums, synths - just voices and the beautiful sound of the sewing machine.
Lun*na and Saori looked back to the industrial age when the sewing machine came into existence and looked onward to making the ‘now’ sound of Les Sewing Sisters.
Lun*na first started using her sewing machines as an instrument when she did a version of Maurice Ravel’s Bolero performed and premiered at the sold out Valaslavasay Panorama in 2016.
Les Sewing Sisters opened up for the band Sparks in 2017 and 2018. In 2019, they did the Les Sewing Sisters home tour, where they did 22 performances in people’s closet space.
On Friday July 30, you can virtually experience the band LIVE from their closet via Moment House!
