best writers and performers."

Greek demi-gods and rooted in the historical traditions
of burlesque, IXION BURLESQUE features some of New York's
best-known burlesque performers, including Molly Crabapple,
Veronica
Varlow, Slim West, Ruby Valentine, Tabitha Ray, Halle

Hazzards
Makeout Party
with the Debutantes +
The Kreutzenjammer Kids
Galapagos's
favorite ukelele rockers present their monthly program
of music and comedy.
The
Debutantes
are an NYC post-pop metro-dance-punk band that performs
a "mammoth set list done in a little over 30 minutes,
as dual vocalists Abby and Jaime blitzkrieg through their
shimmery pop ditties with a relish and enthusiastic aplomb
that is downright infectious and grin-inducing."
-Jenyk.com
www.thedebutantesnyc.com
When
punch-drunk joke-folk chanteusse Phoebe Kreutz joined
forces with her louder friends, they all magically became
The Kreutzenjammer Kids. It's a little bit silly,
a little bit punky and all in good fun. Phoebe provides
the taste, and Casey Holford, Chris Maher and Yoko Kikuchi
provide the bite.
They turn sweet ditties about traveling and beer into
shouting matches and power ballads.

Bourbon
Princess
"Casting a sonic spell that’s spooky, hypnotic,
and often nightmarish, Bourbon Princess mixes
droning bass, world weary tenor saxophone, jazzy percussion,
and washes of textural guitar into a startlingly original
ensemble sound....Fans of Tom Waits, Portishead, and
Nick Cave will feel right at home."

Noble
Society + DJ Gravy + The Roughstars
Noble
Society (top
picture) is a strong contender for the title of America's
Best Urban Reggae Group. With classics like "Sound
Bwoy Bureill", "D&D Soundclash" and
a heap of current rhythms under frontman Jahdan's belt,
it's just no contest. The Roughstars have quickly
formed a cult following off their mixtape release. www.noblesociety.com
"Brooklyn's
Noble Society harkens back to a time when the term 'hip-hop-meets-dancehall'
meant more than slapping Sean Paul on a remix." -The
Village Voice
The
Roughstars (bottom
picture): "NYC's constantly churning
musical underground turns out a freakier, funkier group
than it has in a long time... you need to hear this!"

winning Cinema Series
10th Anniversary Screening
Half-Cocked
Suki Hawley, 1995, 80 minutes
"Life
among would-be rockers gets a strikingly true-to-life
treatment in this deapan road movie. Living in a crash
house with too many spongers, Tara and her lazy friends
need a way out of their going-no-where jobs. Relief of
sorts arrives one night at a gig by a band featuring her
brother, a posturing rock-star-in-his-own-mind. Anoyed
by his antics, Tara impulsively swipes his equipment-filled
van, inviting her friends along for the ride. Half-Cocked
finds a way to shape everyday realities into gritty metaphors
for why we live how we do. in this case, southern slacker
kids, adrift in small-city recession, play fictionalized
versions of themselves; the cast includes Tara Jane O'Neill
and Ian Svenonious. Their sketchy adventures in a van
full of stolen musical gear work as a deadbeat Gen-X myth
of origins: life on the road, with nowhere to go."
- Ed Halter
Filmmakers Suki Hawley and Mike Galinsky will
be in attendance.
