With the statement, "We respectfully request that people who do not have an open mind do not attend this performance," Penn State students can expect the unexpected when alumni Caeser Pink and The Imperial Orgy perform at 9:30 p.m. tomorrow at Café 210 West, 210 W. College Ave.

"It will be like something you have never seen before," said Pink. "It will be out of control."

Performance Time: 9:30 p.m. Date: Tomorrow Place: Café 210 West, 210 W. College Ave.

Caeser Pink and The Imperial Orgy is a rock band, without filling the mold of what a "traditional" rock band or rock concert is supposed to be. Its stage show is presented as a multimedia concert, which Pink describes as raw and active. The band's Web site writes that its shows are "a surreal multi-media extravaganza that combine musical virtuosity, interactive film and video projections, dance, humor, underground fashion, and beat poetry."

Pink said that they want to get the audience involved with the show. He gave an example of its last concert in State College.

"We ended with a drum circle, a lot of women were expressing their sexuality," he said. " That was a lot of fun.

"Every time we play State College, there are always extra bouncers to keep things under control," Pink added.

Pink also said at the last show in town, he kissed a bouncer. Needless to say, the bouncer got really mad, while the crowd chanted "peace" in response to the bouncer's anger, he said.

Caeser Pink and The Imperial Orgy formed in 1995 among a group of friends in the film department at Penn State. According to a press release from the band, it was confronted with many oppositions to its performances and music, such as: the banning of its posters from University public display and discussion on its message in women's studies class. This ushered in The Imperial Orgy's move to New York City, in the fall of 1996.

Caeser Pink, whose name is actually John Whiteman, was born and raised in Lewistown. Pink described some of the social messages in his music by explaining that he was at a critical standpoint, watching his peers working for minimum wage.

"There were people turning to drugs and suicide, there was no hope for a brighter future," he said.

The Imperial Orgy also deals with racial issues, with the song "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah." During the performance of the song, the group members wear signs with the racial/social slur that fits them. At the performance, audience members will also have a chance to wear a sign with the slur that denotes their place in society.

Pink said he works a day job only a block from where the World Trade Center once stood. On a press release he talks about the effect of the tragedy on the band and its message, "As an artist the events of Sept. 11 have changed the meaning of everything you do. We always had a heavy social/political message to our music, and I really had to reconsider all the material anew. Our upcoming show will reflect that in a variety of ways. Not only with new songs dealing with the issues involved, but also in the way we use our existing material."

The group also has a television show that is aired all over the country.

"We were talking to this guy to have two minutes of air time, but I thought we could get our own show," Pink said. "It was natural, we all were film majors. We invested a couple thousand dollars in a TV camera."

The Imperial Orgy Show is a half-hour variety show, featuring music, comedy and artist profiles, all produced by The Imperial Orgy.

Pink described the group's music as a mixture of punk, jazz-fusion, trip-hop and alt rock.

"We do whatever we want," he said.

Influences of Pink's music include the majority of older rock 'n' roll artists and newer artists PJ Harvey, Beck and Radiohead.

The most recent Imperial Orgy event was a masquerade ball in New York City. Pink, who is an ordained minister, had a confession booth set up where people could confess sins that they wanted to commit. The catch being that the people in the party could see the people confessing the sins on a monitor.

The TV show, Change of Heart, had sent a couple on a date to the ball. The girl on the date went into the booth to confess.

"I talked this girl into taking her shirt off," Pink said. "The WB people taped it and she got pissed off."

Fans can expect the same type of antics from the band at the show tomorrow.

The performance tomorrow will end with a drum circle and the public can bring their percussion instruments to join.
