Like- woah.

I’m obsessed with three particular parts of the 54 below concert version of torture tango

1. The MLM lighting

2. Curt Mega fully just moaning, whimpering, and panting like he’s in a porno into his mic the entire time

3. The very homoerotic and sexual movement/gestures (there’s mimed nipple twisting/tearing off nipples???)

Hey hey! For people who know how digital tickets work- how do digital tickets work? I'm worried I might have done something wrong

(basically a couple of days ago I paid for vod access (on mobile if it matters) and it took me to PayPal? I haven't got any link or anything, only a receipt from PayPal. If I just need to wait please tell me! Or if I did something wrong!)

All of these images are very important

[smytherines]

The Spies 54 Below concert is still the best of all time to me, like tell me this isn't the cutest shit you've ever seen

get the digital ticket

[kli-kli]

torture tango from 54 below concert is the best version of this song send post

[missholloween]

Spies are forever in 54 below performances are amazing. We have:

Daniel Belnavis amazing job in spies are forever and the coldest goodbye

Curt singing "my partner... No!" in Spy again

All of Somebody's gotta do it. Joey of course does a great job, but Pomme Koch just flexes during the whole song. Amazing job istg

Also Curt sings so sweetly and nicely the "stop being such a little pussy"

Before the chorus in Eyes on the Price I Lauren goes down instead of up and it sounds really nice

Curt mouths "yeah" when Tessa sings "you think I'm crazy"

The dance during Eyes on the Price II and the horniness of it all

JOEY PUTTING HIS HAND ON CURT WHEN HE ENTERS THE SONG

Pomme does a great job, what a good torture tango

Also Curt whimpers and moans when he's hurt

Mary Kate does also an amazing job

Joey gets closer at the end of the song (in the "Owen?") so he can look at Curt

I'm obsessed with Joey's the prince, but AJ Holmes does also a great job as Vanger Borschtit

"Would you please turn around?" "No" "Okay"

Also "I'm sure you don't need to remind him" "I also fucking despise him"

Tbh all the lyrics updates are great and I'm glad they've revisited some of them

Curt and Mary Kate joking about an upbeat, fun song just before prisoner of my past

Curt making the audience cheer Mary Kate (deservingly) after it

Curt almost drops the mic when Lauren enters the scene during doing this

Lauren totally steals the scene

"So you're into" "yeah" "agh!"

Curt is specially nervous during the conversation :') and his little smile after the "til the end"

I can't believe they did the pay attention reprise and not the coldest goodbye reprise

Lauren kills it tho. She could do an amazing toad cover

Curt and Mary Kate failing to clap during one more shot

"Curt's ex-lover slash partner"

Joey directly goes to queer smug villain and he looks amazing doing it

Joey sitted in the piano

Curt looking so hurt and conflicted during the whole song, he does an amazing job acting

"feeling a lot of déjà vu again" AND THEY GRAB EACH OTHER AS IN SPIES ARE FOREVER. WHAT.

Joey's little taunt so that Curt goes with him and they run to the mics again

They gave a special shoutout to Esther because she had covid and couldn't be there (video-called her during the ending)

"If you think about this show, it's timeless. Because spies are, what? Forever?"

[abitofboth]

gay people real (anguish)(pain)

[turningvioletviolet]

Nothing will beat the full choreographed version of One Step Ahead obviously, but I really love the concert version anyway. The vibe is less "Enemy Spies Trying To Kill Each Other" and more "Ex Lovers Stuck A Room Together And WILL Throw Shade" but either way I'm here for it I mean it's not like they're not both canonically accurate

(As a bonus, here's an even shittier gif of the original scene for comparison since most of my followers probably aren't familiar with the excellent theatrical production that is "Spies Are Forever" by Tin Can Bros, let alone the concert version)

[considerablecolors]

I edited the One Step Ahead 54 Below version to encapsulate how insane I've been going over this performance the past week

[herequeerandcantdrinkbeer]

Tin Can Bros and Starkid fans I just forgot about it until right now!

TCB said they would release the info about their digital tickets for their show at 54 Below, but there’s like 6 days and I haven’t heard about it...

Was there information about the digital tickets released that I didn’t see? I’m desperate to see it!

[chiefmartinbrody]

Bragging that I got to go to the Spies 54 Below Concert live. That’s right. I was there, Gandalf, I was there when the strength of my savings account failed.

[none-ofthisnonsense]

just saying i am ALWAYS up for talking about spies are forever

[gaymedievaldruid]

OH MY GOD I JUST GOT THE EMAIL IM SO EXCITED

Probably going to stay if Tumblr until I find time to watch it for obvious reasons but AAAAAA

The Tin Can Bros have launched a kickstarter to celebrate their 10 year anniversary with SEVEN new projects, and they need our help!

Read on to find out how:

This is Brian Rosenthal, Corey Lubowich and Joey Richter

You may know them from Team Starkid, or you may know them from their own group the Tin Can Brothers (creators of projects such as Spies Are Forever and the Solve it Squad), formed in 2014. To celebrate 10 years, they’re raising a goal of $200k in order to stage seven projects

They’re currently a week into their campaign and have raised almost $50k with 675 backers. But they still have a way to go! And to help, we need to spread the word

TINLIGHTENMENT PROMO SCHEDULE:

Saturday 10th - The Great Debate

What is it?

A live comedy game show featuring Joey, Brian, Corey and special guests pitted against each other to win a debate. It gets silly!

How will I be able to see it?

Live shows in LA (and potentially other places!) throughout the year, digital tickets, and eventually some ‘episodes’ on youtube!

What can I share?

If you’ve been lucky enough to see past great debates on Patreon, talk about favourite topics and moments!

If you haven’t, share moments and clips from the first public great debate livestream happening on Thursday! (I think - if plans are changed then they’re doing a terrible job letting me help them)

Talk about guests! They talked about a Dropout crossover which I know people have been asking for with Starkid. I don’t know what that is but tell the people that do!

Tuesday 13th - Gross Prophets

What is it?

A brand new comedy musical featuring Joey, Brian and Lauren with music by Ali Gordon and Angela Parrish (shitty broadway! https://youtu.be/AZ-bOPiDqo8?si=F6guq3Pk_lOkCB5B)

How will I be able to see it?

Live shows (some workshop-y) in LA leading up to a run at the Adelaide Fringe, with digital tickets and eventual youtube release

What can I share?

We don’t know a whole lot about this project yet, but we do know it’s got a great cast and creative team - talk about those people!

That it’s going to Adelaide!! Australia is frequently in the top backing countries on kickstarters, and those people finally get a chance to see a TCB show live!

Theories on what the show might involve!

Saturday 17th - SIS at the Fringe

What is it?

An Edinburgh Fringe run of the fucked up Scooby Doo parody, with the original cast!

How will I be able to see it?

Live shows throughout the entire Edinburgh Fringe run in August, or a digital ticket!

What can I share?

This is an existing TCB property, so talk about what you love from the original! Share art, gifs, edits, anything!

That it’s going to Edinburgh! As above, UK fans have been desperate for this for ages, now’s our chance! Make sure people know about it!

Tuesday 20th - Spy Another Day LA and London

What is it?

A live concert screening (Hollywood Bowl meets Rocky Horror!) of Spies with most of the original cast for LA and TCB plus Lauren for London!

How will I be able to see it?

A live show in LA in Spring (likely April) with a digital ticket option, and a live show in London in early September following their SIS fringe run

What can I share?

Like with SIS, anything and everything you love about the original show! Angsty fics, art, memes, it’s all good

Joe Walker. To me personally he’s just A Guy, but some people are still shocked to be learning he’s doing a show again! Get those OG fans to support this!

That it’s going to London. I need Joey doing a passable to decent depending on how much he’s practiced English accent in London! And again, an opportunity for one of the highest backing cities to see them LIVE

Saturday 24th - TCBoB at 54 Below

What is it?

The songs from their musical This Could Be on Broadway in concert at 54 Below in New York City, with Joey, Brian, Lauren, Esther, Bryce and Clark, plus more performers to be announced!

How will I be able to see it?

Live in NYC in November, with a digital ticket option

What can I share?

The first workshop only got a digital ticket release but if you caught that, share favourite parts! And the soundtrack is available, so talk about how fucking good the songs are

The fact that it’s an opportunity for people to hear these songs live!

Tuesday 27th - Intelligent Life

What is it?

A reading of TCB’s queer sci-fi comedy TV pilot

How will I be able to see it?

Live in LA in early Summer, or by digital ticket

What can I share?

Like with Gross Prophets, this is a brand new (to us) project so we don’t know a lot! But we do know it’s gays in space! We love space gays

Remember, these are just ideas. Share anything you personally are excited for and think other people might be interested in! The aim is to make sure people are aware of these projects, what they entail and why they need to happen! Any other way you have of getting the word out about the projects and the campaign in general is valuable!!

Join our discord for more ways to help or to ask questions! https://discord.gg/4VNEBzpA
