Hello All,
We’ve just added some wonderfully musical and highly entertaining friends to the bill at our LOUD half of our LOUD PARTY/QUIET WORK weekend. Indoor Block Party at Le Poisson Rouge in NY. (Sunday, May 3, 2009)
Now… ALSO PERFORMING!!!
* TERENCE BERNARDO
singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist and frontman of TAXI TAXI and an old friend from Montreal. Terence and I are currently in the studio recording an album of very depressing slow songs. A project which some of our friends have described as: The Asian Portishead… whatever that means. Although none of those tunes will be ready for this gig, Terence will be performing some songs from his seemingly endless supply of beautiful and melancholy pop tunes.
* DJ P-LOVE
You know this guy already, He was the kid who tore it up on the Short Attention Span Theater tours as well as accompanying me on Wurlitzer and turntable on the “Nufonia Must Fall” book launch. Pretty much my go-to dj if you’re looking for a cat with musical cuts. Has toured and performed with Amon Tobin, Sixtoo, and Medeski, Martin and Wood. P-Love will be the “back up band” for Terence during his set… as well as heating it up on his own on the 1′s and 2′s.
* ADIRA AMRAM
She sings, she jazzercises, she eats beef jerky in slow motion! Come witness her pop comedy spectacle featuring back up dancers and plentiful spandex!
I met Adira a few years ago in NY and was lucky enough to catch one of her sets at a club while I was there. Absolutely amazing and hilarious. She is fully taking smile-making to a whole other level.
try and get their earlier. You don’t want to miss these folks!
And of course, as advertised, there will be a raffle, a pillow fight, a sound capture session (which ROCKED! in LA last night by the way), and little ol’ me on a bunch of turntables playing records in that “Canadian” way.
Come on down and make some noise.
see you there!

P.S. if a louder Indoor Block Party doesn’t float your boat, we will also be holding our first NY installment of the quiet time “Music to Draw to…” event at the House of Yes the following evening. There will be a bake sale by Corinne and my mother-in-law. Bring a sketchbook/knitting needles or something to work on… free hot chocolate and a pencil with admission. check the tour section for more details.
who doesn’t like cookies while they draw?

just saw Kid koala & Adira Amram on 5/3 in N.Y.C. & Koala was amazing as usual. He was hanging out with all of us and watching Adira Amram perform before he went on. If you don’t know about Adira Adram, well I suggest you recognize! She is funny as all hell! Kid Koala is the man! And really cool to talk to.

HiFi Cartel, MJ, Julian,
Thanks for posting those pics from the Poisson Rouge gig. I think that’s one of my new favorite venues! We’ve got some photos from that gig and the Brooklyn Music to Draw to… night we did the following night. We will put it all together when we get back from Toronto next week.
Thanks for coming down to the show. It was such a good time for us! And yes, Adira did tear the roof off like crazy! And Terence and P-Love rocked! I was so happy that get them on the gig. I literally called all of them maybe 5 days before. But I thought it would be the perfect fit for an Indoor Block Party!
