Super Art Fight returns to The Ottobar March 30!

 

Super Art Fight Celebrates Five Years At The Ottobar, Saturday, March 30th!

 
 
2013 has been very good to the roster of talent known as Super Art Fight.  They've played to capacity crowds at two of their favorite conventions, Katsucon and MAGFest. They've headed west, performing in Los Angeles and San Francisco. They sold out their debut show at the Black Cat in Washington, DC - and on Saturday Night, March 30th - the Greatest Live Art Competition in the Known Universe returns home to the Ottobar in Baltimore, Maryland to celebrate five years of inspired insanity!

Way back in 2008, two artists, Jamie "Angry Zen Master" Noguchi and Nick "Ghosfreehood" DiFabbio faced off one-on-one in the upstairs room of the Ottobar in something they called an "Art Fight".  Mixing audience participation and live art created on a giant canvas, it grabbed audiences attention from the word go, and five years and dozens of shows later, the show - now known as Super Art Fight descends once again upon their home venue, featuring a cavalcade of live entertainment.

The goal from Day One was for Super Art Fight shows to have a variety show appeal, and it's personified perfectly with the lineup for March 30th.  You have standup from comedian Jim Meyer, best known locally for his appearances on the 98 Rock Morning Show and his weekly City Paper column "Spitballin'".  You have a live musical performance from Baltimore's own Egg Babies Orchestra, celebrating "Movie Show V", featuring unexpected covers of songs from classic cult films sure to delight.  And most importantly, you have an absolutely stacked card of what SAF does best - their trademark art fights.  A mixture of live art, pro-wrestling style characters and storytelling and improvised commentary, there's truly nothing else like it today.

On tap for the March 30th Ottobar appearance are the following bouts:

  • Super Art Fight Idol 2012 winner ASH SKETCH'EM takes on the nearly extinct STOMPADON!
  • It's a battle of kindness vs. capitalism as THE NICEST TEAM IN ART FIGHT (Brandon J. Carr and Red Erin) face off with THE BUSINESS NINJAS ("Charm City Shinobi" Dann Malihom and "The Business" Henry Alexander) in tag team action
  • The SAF TAG TEAM TITLES are on the line as SILENT APOCALYPSE (Bryan "Silent But Violent" Prindiville and Darl "Apocalypse" Gnau) defends their titles against the sinfully sexy TEAM SEXYFULNESS (The Baron and Dutchess Von Sexyful)
  • And in the big main event, we go back to where it all began as SUPER ART FIGHT CHAMPION Jamie "Angry Zen Master" Noguchi tackles the canvas against the time-lost rocker GHOSTFREEHOOD

If that wasn't enough, the card will feature hosting and commentary from Marty Day and Ross Nover, and live DJs The Megadrives.

Tickets for the event are on sale now at MissionTix.com for just $15 (direct link: http://www.missiontix.com/events/product/16428/super-art-fight).  As the last three area Super Art Fight events sold out, we HIGHLY recommend picking up tickets before showtime!

Doors for the Super Art Fight event on March 30th will open at 8pm, with the show starting promptly at 9pm.  The Ottobar is located at 2549 N. Howard Street in Baltimore, Maryland, Zip 21218.  Parking is conveniently located in the back of the venue.

For additional details on the nights event, Super Art Fight can be found online at SuperArtFight.com - the Ottobar's website is TheOttobar.com.
