New Orleans based filmmaker, puppeteer, musician, and all-around creative artist Miss Pussycat has been entertaining audiences for over 15 years with her traveling puppet show and collaborations with experimental electronic musician Quintron. A Quintron and Miss Pussycat show is an unmatched live experience (the duo will be on tour this summer) but Miss Pussycat has also translated some of her shows to film. Three of these, as well as soundtrack album Athropomorphizer will be released over the coming months via new Graveface imprint, Terror Vision Records & Video.
Stream the trailer for “Mystery in Old Bathbath” via Brooklyn Vegan The complex and intricate puppet shows should appeal to all ages, with tactile and idiosyncratic characters, pithy dialogue, electronically pixilated soundtracks, and trippy black light effects to create a visual and engaging background to Quintron and Miss Pussycat’s music.  The first VHS slated for release is “The Mystery in Old Bathbath,” due out May 22.  A bit on the plot…  Something is wrong with the Happy Tree! For some reason, he can’t send out secret messages anymore. Trixie and Marsha set off to an ancient spa town to find a cure before all his branches fall off. But this town is kind of funny and the historic Art Museum of Bathbath seems to have some secrets of it’s own. And so does the drummer JJ Suade… Adventure unfolds as Trixie and Marsha try to save the Happy Tree and look at art made by thirsty people.
