The band Life In A Blender. Ken Meyer is in the front to the right, hatless.
Ken Meyer has been kind enough to record and engineer over 20 audio commentaries for me over the years. I have been wise enough to rely on his judgment in all matters. Now I find out he's also a drummer in a totally hip band playing at Joe's Pub at the Public Theater this Friday at 7 PM.
Here's what the Joe's Pub website says about them:
Life In A Blender come equipped with a violin, cello, horns, and a touch of absurdism, bringing a vaudevillian energy to their much-loved stage show. The New Yorker says: "The band's new album, The Heart is a Small Balloon, is rife with Ralph's signature wit, but it is also a richly reflective affair that exudes a poignancy and maturity one might not expect." The NY Daily News says: "The band's orchestrated music is a covert beauty, cleverly disturbing lyrics and askew music....an event worth cheering." Jersey Beat calls the band's latest: "A terrifically dark and despairing work of beautifully bleak20and burnt-out oddball art."
Tonight's CD release is for Life In A Blender's 7th album, Homewrecker Spoon. It will feature Colony Collapse Horns.
I'm going! Who else? Leave a comment.
