Album Notes

*** IF SOLD OUT PLEASE VISIT www.invincibleczars.com/merch.html ***

The Invincible Czars have taken on many projects in their six years of existence in Austin,
but none as character-building and ability-driving as their rock interpretations of Tchaikovsky's
"Nutcracker Suite".
In 2004, the band debuted their first arrangements of the Suite at Austin's underground hub The Church
of the Friendly Ghost, and it's been a consistent hit every year since. Initial home recordings of
the Suite were sold out quickly, and in 2007, the Czars entered Ohm Recording Facility in Austin to
produce a complete, expanded version of the Nutcracker. A full year of work ensued, but the finished
product raised the bar for both band and material, adding new tunes and filling in the empty spaces
with guest appearances from friends and colleagues from the Austin scene. The results astounded everyone
involved - what started as an offhand joke had become the Czars' finest collective product yet,an album
full of rich tones, new takes on familiar melodies and compelling surprises.

Combining the essential holiday-season music with the Czars' trademark genre-hopping, ear-bending,
orchestral ambitions makes perfect aural sense. You've never heard the Nutcracker like this before!
The music makes the perfect accompaniment for the holiday season, and a great gift for music lovers
of all kinds.

The Invincible Czars "Nutcracker Suite" is available on CD from CDBaby, Waterloo Records, End of an Ear,
