El Radio Fantastique + A Particularly Vicious Rumor
with Jack Martin (of Kid Congo Powers...) & friends
Hailing
from New Orleans, El Radio Fantastique and A
Particularly Vicious Rumor share more than musicians.
El Radio Fantastique is a seven-piece symphonette.
“Dressed like a gang of Victorian rag dolls and dissolute
French sailors, El Radio Fantastique weaves wistful melodies
with their miniature symphony,” says the New
Orleans Gambit Weekly. The lineup includes upright
bass, drums, violin, cello, bass clarinet, clarinet, piano,
guitar and theremin...and everyone sings and plays percussion.
A Particularly Vicious Rumor has been described
as “music to drown children by.” But their sound
is far from hopeless. This 9th Ward duo plays piano and
drums exclusively. Miss O’s rich voice and strong
left hand provide a hypnotic, percussive compliment to
Kid Twist’s (drummer for ERF as well) melodic, danceable
rhythms. Their lyrics explore both the loss of intimacy
and the desire for movement and change.

THE
HAZZARDS MAKE-OUT PARTY
with Low Water and
Ben Lerman from the Isotoners
Galapagos's
favorite ukele rockers present their monthly program of
music and comedy.
This
month:
"Low
Water has relocated to the Big Apple, although the move
makes sense in a way. Life in San Francisco can be a little
too nice, and guitarist/singer John Leitera always has seemed
inspired most in the face of adversity. Leitera comes on
like the bastard son of Paul Westerberg and Joe Pernice.
His pouting, heart-on-sleeve songs are elevated above your
average Emo rock by his melodic and tasteful guitar playing,
subtle humor, and masterful and clever wordplay. "
-Michael Burbo, The Davis Enterprise
