SSION and House of Ladosha at Electric Owl

SSION, led by singer Cody Critcheloe, formed in Kansas City in 1996. Critcheloe is known for his exuberant and energetic live performances, which make Freddie Mercury look like a sloth. Just check out their video for “Clown” (below) to get an idea of what to expect!

They recently released a feature film titled Boy, which was “made up of music videos strung together to produce the gay, punk-rock equivalent of Forrest Gump” and are currently touring in support of their latest release, Bent.

SSION plays the Electric Owl Oct 21. Tickets are $10.
