Smut
presents Erotic Horror stories
by Polly Frost
Hosted by the fabulous Regi C.
Also featuring Poingly and Dan Fishback
All
through March, Smut (Galapagos's series of erotic
readings and performance) will be presenting POLLY
FROST with special guests.
Dirty,
funny -- and sometimes scary -- stories by Polly Frost
read by wonderful actors. Polly just finished writing
an erotic novel for the Vivid porn company, an assignment
she loved. However, she is old enough
to remember the days when porn stars had pubic hair, so
she had to learn how to describe every kind of wax job
available. She was recently profiled in the Pulp Fiction
issue of Nerve, which described her stories
as "Michael Crichton on Ecstasy."

TOM
ROSSI
featuring the Poon Dancers
with Christina Courtin
music
Tom
Rossi's auspicious debut, "Salma Har" is a global
mosaic, a border-dissolving symphony of tones and beats
and harmonies from Africa and the Middle East to South
America and the Brooklyn basement where it was recorded.
This is music for, as that other Brooklyn poet Walt Whitman
once put it, "respiration and inspiration, the beating
of my heart." In January 2005, Tom was featured and
interviewed on BBC's "The World" program for
National Public Radio.
"Listen
closely; Tom Rossi's 'Salma Har' contains multitudes."
- Jeff Gordinier (Details, Esquire, Entertainment Weekly)
"Tom
Rossi's music creates the ideal atmosphere, African and
Indian
drumming driving a Tom Waits-style carnival" -The
Village Voice

The Songs of Robert
A
new verse play with live music written by playwright John
Crutchfield. Set in Western North Carolina, the play tells
the story of a young high school boy in love for the first
time. By turns poignant and funny, realistic and expressionistic,
the play features original poetry, songs, and a dozen
characters all performed by two actors, John Crutchfield
and Julia Horn. According to The Asheville Citizen
Times, the play evokes "images ranging from
Willie Nelson to James Joyce."

The
Hazzards Make-Out Party
A
popular monthly event filled with music, comedy, and general
raucousness. Hosted by The Hazzards, New York's coolest
ukelele band.
This
week, with Phoebe Kreutz + The Handsome Public
Phoebe
Kreutz is a boozy floozy with a heart of gold. She
sings silly songs about the things she likes best: boys
and bars and vikings and tacos. Growing up in New York's
East Village, Phoebe learned a lot about all these things.
She also learned a lot about rhyming from Dr. Seuss and
the joys of thinly-veiled social commentary from "He-Man"
and "The Smurfs". You can also see her in the
rad bands: Urban Barnyard and The Phyllis Newman Health
Initiative Dancers .http://www.phoebekreutz.com
The
Handsome Public is: Dr. Rosen Rosen: Vocals, Keyboards,
Drums; Vickers Bastard Gringo: Vocals, Guitar. Their formula
is simple: 2 crooning mics, breathtaking beats, &
a presence reminiscent of Bobby Vinton & Rick James.
They are a man band. http://www.thehandsomepublic.com

of greatness at her disposal, namely an incredible voice,
