Clockwork Janz

@franknsteam Maiden Voyage last night was loud, beautiful, busy, and so damn fun. We were totally sold out by 9!!! 😭🌭🎶💕 You love Frank, it showed, and we love you for loving Frank! The combo of Clock’s dogs and Rob’s tunes brought all the girls to the yard 🍼🫨 Please send us any good pics or videos you got of last night! Trying to put together a pitch reel to send to @philipglass to try and cater his 90th birthday concert. @camimuseum was the place to be, the vibe was absolutely immaculate, thank you again @bigcarpix so much for having us out 🙏🏻

Little updates - only on here on Thursdays, the app is deleted otherwise. Text me if it’s urgent. @franknsteam summer schedule coming out soon They/He pronouns- they very much preferred, but he is fine. Acknowledging my privilege as a person that many days presents as a masc person. And not looking to trip people up and derail a convo when a kind and well-intended person doubles-back and corrects themselves. So much love you all ❤️. Super duper busy as of late, so many many good things in life. Looking forward to seeing you all in meat space soon

Does anyone have a VHS player I can buy?

Hypothesis proved - people crave 90’s nostalgia, recognize and adore Ms. Frizzle - even my time-square-looking, no-sell, beared Frizzle- and absolutely loved being surprised by @maxmaneater and my drag pop-ups today! Max and I went up and down Mass Ave, Fountain Square, and Garfield Park, popping up, passing our VHS/ Floppy Disk/ POGs all with QR codes on them, chatting about science in drag. Get free tickets to the show, Max Maneater’s Drag Science Theater, April 25, 7-10, at @gpacindyparks , screen shot one of the QR codes in this thread to get the link. And, we brought uncomplicated joy to 500+ people, just being queer and silly in public 🩷 which is the hypothesis behind this grant that the @artscouncilindy funded - 90’s nostalgia and shared childhood experiences makes drag accessible to audiences who don’t currently identify as drag audience members. Today, we got cat called by an old white cis-het couple in Ford Truck, I got “oh shit it’s miss Frizzle” -ed by a black family with kids, we got asked to take pictures with a pack of dude-bros with their toddler. Beautiful, peak, shared human love. We all need this right now. Shared human silly love. Co-regulate with me, fellow beautiful souls. Be less serious for a few more minutes every day. Stress is and always has been the number one killer.

Fantastic inclusive loving community workshop 🩷🩷 Disability Visibility was such a breath of fresh air. Thank you to everyone that came out, thank you to Arts for Learning for hosting, and thank you to facilitators Johnson Simon Krystal Breakley and Nasreen Hannah for sharing your talents + expertise and creating the most warm and enlightening space.

🧬WAHOO! Ready for something different? Hop on that magic school bus and head on over to DRAG SCIENCE THEATER! 🚌We’re transporting ourselves back to the nostalgic ‘90s: remember science fairs, class pets, and story time? What about pop quizzes and art class? ✏️Well, we’ve hired our favorite drag performers to educate and entertain in a floor-show-meets-science-fair… affair. ⏰There’s a lot of love and intention going into this project, so stay tuned for more information. For now, visit our website (link in my bye-oh), smash that GOING button, and oh – did we mention it’s FREE?

The coolest thing ever! Congrats, @clockworkmakesmusic and @funkoftherob on a successful premier of @franknsteam ! Frank for President!!

A Saturday morning finds Rob Funkhouser and Clockwork Janz hard at work sanding rust off an old griddle using salt and oil. Janz is wearing black plastic gloves that are too small and keep tearing. But it’s all part of the process. “Salt and elbow grease,” Janz said. Funkhouser and Janz are building the Frank n Steam. It’s a mobile, solar-powered music machine that also cooks hot dogs. Frank’s “maiden voyage” will take place at Tube Factory’s First Friday celebration on March 6. The spirit of the project is perhaps best summed up by Janz: “This is a place for everybody to come and get a hot dog and for people to just be silly,” they said, “And embrace the fact that there is some common humanality in sharing a hot dog.” After March 6, the Frank n Steam duo are open for bookings and even collaborations with other musicians, although they won’t be doing Frank n Steam full time. “Think of Frank as the Loch Ness Monster,” Funkhouser said. “You’re gonna see them just once in a while, so catch them when you can.”
