Each year, the Austin-based rock band THE INVINCIBLE CZARS perform their wacky rock version of the music from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, and each year it gets better! This new Texas holiday tradition began in December 2004 when the band introduced its version of the Suite to Austin at two shows: a children's matinee and a later, louder show aimed at the bands existing rock fan base. Since then, the group has continued the tradition yearly, entertaining people of all ages with their    unlikely holiday hit. In 2007, the band self-released a studio recording of the Suite which became the seventh highest selling holiday CD at Waterloo Records that year. Their creative and whimsical version of the Nutcracker Suite has opened the door for many exciting performance collaborations with such organizations as Boys & Girls Clubs of Austin, Austin Children's Museum, Ballet Austin, the Houston Ballet, Wicked Cricket Dance Theatre and Graham Reynold's Golden Arm Trio.         BUY THE CD "Every moment of it rocks." - Austin Powell - The Austin Chronicle "The perfect addition to anyone's holiday season." - John Aielli - KUT FM "...combines all the beauty of Tchaikovsky's original opus and turns it up to 11." - Dusty Rhodes The Houston Press "...frenzied, turn-of-the-century riot inducing classical music..." - Michael Chamy The Dallas Observer
