What Is It?
Douglas Von Irvin’s Carnival has been described as the diverse, bombastic sounds of Queen meets the party rock style of the B-52s. By combining these sounds, Douglas Von Irvin’s Carnival introduces a new genre of music, the effervescent Monster Garage Pop, with characters as unique as the songs themselves. The band is made up of songwriter’s Douglas Von Irvin and Dr. Prycenstein, who often partner with other amazing musicians, including KISS co-founder, lead vocalist Paul Stanley and producer/drummer Matt Starr.
The Carnival invites people to relax with images and sounds about creatures and characters from all time periods and dimensions; they offer a place where all walks of life are celebrated and welcome.
Von Irvin’s Inspiration:
The “Monster” of Monster Garage Pop draws inspiration from the horror films Von Irvin grew up watching. The “Garage” comes from a mad scientist, no-nonsense, punk/garage rock approach to music. Mix the two together and you get the sound: the eclectic, electric “Monster Garage Pop.”
Where To Listen:
You can watch the Carnival’s high-quality, zany music videos through their YouTube channel listen to their music on any platform including: Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp.
