Friday Night @ Pilot Light: Lounge Acts for the Damned
Posted: 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!
