    Disneyland’s Strange History- “Live From the Space Stage: A HALYX Story”

    Mary Anne ButlerBy 1 Min Read

    Every so often, a piece of Disneyland history so out there, so absolutely insane, makes a resurgence on the internet. No, we’re not talking about Captain EO, but this is pretty close? Early this morning, we were enjoying a leisurely stroll down Twitter lane, when THIS popped up- “Live From the Space Stage: A HALYX Story.”

    In the summer of 1981, a Star Wars-adjacent KIÏŸÏŸ-inspired band rocked the Space Stage in Tomorrowland at Disneyland, and that is just the start of the story. Live from the Space Stage: A Halyx Story is a feature documentary on one of the most bizarre and obscure bands ever to perform, and the fascinating story of the people making it happen behind the scenes.

    Luckily for all of us, a group of people put together a documentary about Halyx, and used IndieGoGo to fund the project. The result? An hour and half doc about this crazy piece of Disneyland history, which you can watch for free on YouTube.

She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
