Friday Night @ Pilot Light: Lounge Acts for the Damned

Leigh · Post by **Leigh** » Wed Oct 15, 2003 7:18 pm

hi folks,

just spreading the word about the upcoming friday night show at the pilot light (10/17)...

the VOODOO ORGANIST is back, and accompanying him this time are the NECRO TONZ.

here's what one reviewer had to say about NECRO TONZ: "The Necro-Tonz are dead lounge singers. Or at least they're practicing to be. Led by the lovely green skinned chanteuse Necrophilia, the N-Tonz are crusty tuxedo suited, corpsepainted entertainers of the mellow damned, soothing recently deceased nerves with smoky bossa nova and jazz-lite renditions of death-related hits like Alice Cooper's "I Love the Dead" and Type O Negative's "Black No. 1", and even the gloomy MASH theme, "Suicide is Painless". They also specialize in covering songs by performers that have already passed on to the other side, like Frank's "The Lady is a Tramp" and Jim's "Soul Kitchen". Not sure why "Cold Gin" is included, as I'm pretty sure Ace Frehley is still alive, although who knows what's going on under that greasepaint? At any rate, the Necro-Tonz are obviously the world's greatest death lounge band, and since you are, in fact, going to die someday, you might as well pick this up. Consider it practice for being dead-cool so that you don't look like a tourist when you finally get to Hell."

Voodoo Organist's website features some mp3s and information on the organist himself: http://www.voodooorganist.com/ (influences include tom waits, nick cave, and screaming jay hawkins)

hope to see you downtown!

I would LOVE to go, but a longtime friend's band is playing somewhere else and I've already made arrangements.

Thanks for the heads up. I am going. This sounds like my kind of gig. And excuse me while I typ in all caps, but...

WTF!!?? LYDIA LUNCH IS SPEAKING THERE THIS MONTH? HOW DID THIS GET LOST IN THE SHUFFLE?

From now on I will be paying very close attention to this venue.

Anyone else going to this? Has anyone been to this club before? I'll be the SFSHG in the Hellbound shirt. That will leave me with Saturday to recover before Sanctus on Sunday.
