Klaus Nomi "Klaus was a face - elfin and painted as a Kabuki robot. He was a style - a medieval interpretation of the 21st century via Berlin 1929. He was a voice, almost inhuman in range, from operatic soprano to Prussian general. He was a master performer - a master of theatrical gesture. Above all he was a visionary. He said the future is based on the needs of the artist, deciding how to live and living that way every minute. Klaus, the man from the future, lived that way in the present, and held out his hand saying, 'Come with me. You can do it too.' "   ~Taken from the Bio of the offical Klaus Nomi website.
Address 300 Baker Avenue Concord, MA 01742	Klaus Nomi, born Klaus Sperber became a huge name in the New York art scene in the late 70s and ealy 80s. His quirky attire, and more impressivly, his amazingly versatile vocals which could switch from a new-wavy Oingo Boingo sound to an impressivly high opera-trained soprano without a blink. Early in his career, stunned audiences had to be assured the vocals were truly his own. While Nomi is featured in many videos, documentaries, and even coffee table books, and his music and sense of style effected many music scenes to come, his fans - and even those who recognize his name are a select and occasionally cult-like group.
In 1983 Klaus became one of the first celebrities to die of AIDS, with much of his career ahead of him. This fact actually overshadowed his talents to larger companies and music hipsters. However, even if he failed his mission of "saving the human race," he did leave us a small bundle of strange treasures to experience for generations and subtly changed the face of the future or futurism.
