Ahoy, everybody:
All Pynchonophiles in the NYC area, along with their friends, loved
ones, and whole sick crews, are cordially invited to the final show
of Shanghai Love Motel's summer. After building momentum through a
series of July and August gigs, we're going to close out the summer
with a blast: all the music we can possibly throw at you, not just
the customary 30-to-45-minute set but a great big whopper of a party.
Here are the details:
Shanghai Love Motel
Parkside Lounge, 317 E. Houston (at Attorney St.*)
Saturday, August 21, 10 pm until... well, pretty late.
*Three* amazing SLM sets! No cover charge! (You do the math: the
music-to-expense ratio is infinite!)
Scads of original Songs! Surprise Cover-Tunes! Wild Guitar-Solos by
two imaginative Improvisers! Memorable Melodies galore -- more Hooks
than the Fulton Street Fish-Market! Bizarre Bebop-Chords! Not just
one but two bespectacl'd baritone Singer-Songwriters who read lots of
TRP! Three- and sometimes even Four-way Vocal Harmonies to die for!
Powerful Rhythms in an amazing variety of Tempos and Time-Signatures!
Lyricks of Wisdom and Wit, packed with Poignancy and Puns, purvey'd
with Passion (and perhaps on Pitch)!
OK. Enough hype. This is going to be fun. Hope to see you there.
Cheers,
Bill
*Yes, there really is an Attorney Street. To get to the corner of
Houston & Attorney, take either the F train to Houston or the F, J,
M, or Z to Delancey. Look for the unmissable landmark Katz's Deli at
Houston & Ludlow (from the Houston St. F station, go east; from the
Delancey St. F/J/M/Z station, go uptown on either Ludlow or Essex),
then head east a few blocks on Houston. If you reach the East River,
you've gone too far.
