Oh Brooklyn, I Bring You Our Sweet Ol’ Broken Down. This Saturday, 5/19

Dear Good Old Bad Old Brooklyn,

We can’t wait to return to The Way Station (http://waystationbk.blogspot.com/) THIS Saturday, 5/19.

There’s a corner with a bandstand breathing fire
There’s a red velvet curtain looking for some bodies to cover up and protect
There’s a bunch of cushiony bright banquettes whispering Come rest your weary bones
We’ll be singing it out, loving it up, living it hard. Or soft. Always very simply.

With gracious love and pom-pom affection,

Comic Tales of Tragic Heartbreak

Back at the Red Lion – Comic Tales of Tragic Heartbreak – this Tuesday, May 8!

We’ve been gone, but just like bad pennies, bad seeds and bad prodigal sons (and daughters) we shall return – to the Red Lion.

This Tuesday, 5/8! We’ve performed there many times, for many years, and there’s a reason for that. It’s a cozy, lovely, funky little place, with an amazing staff.

Come on out and share a dance or two, won’t you?

Lots of love,

A night in Harlem!

This Saturday at the Dinosaur BBQ:

A little corner where the band grunts, percolates and burns – no one is safe.
The bar workers walk by, laughing. They know better than to poke those lions in their open cage.
You can smell barbecue food somewhere back there, through the din of laughter and a microphoned voice of people’s reservations being called.
…A man with a trumpet blows his horn like a silly-A clown to a small child. The kid looks up at him, smiling shyly, understanding freaky craziness as only a first grader can – this is like the singing animals he sees on TV.

Will you come watch?

Love,
Comic Tales of Tragic Heartbreak

In Hoboken and Very Acoustic – this Saturday, June 6/25

Doing a show (with no drums), in a beautiful room in Hoboken – the Elysian.

Some background:
The Elysian Café is the oldest continually operated bar/restaurant in Hoboken. Opened originally as Dillenger & Jeffson’s in 1895, it continued through prohibition as an ice cream parlor and as a hair salon.

So – come in and have a drink – it’s also an early show (by our standards) – we start at 10:30. It’s so easy, just walk on in! We can’t wait to see you.

April showers of love from a woman and three men shouting out prose poems attached to 8th note tinkles, steady rain of whole notes, and sudden bursts of thunderstorm coda vamps. We’re gonna bring it, dance-y dance-y fun-y.
