"Utterly bipolar..." - Dr. Jerry Dash
Sexy Weimar burlesque and blistering loser rock crash head-on under the mantle of Minq Vaadka, NYC's newest musical anomaly. Somewhere in the no-man's land between Jack White, David Bowie and Tom Waits, Minq Vaadka chills with his melodies, thrills with his lyrics, and spills his vocal guts and blood all over the stage.
Join Minq for an inebriated evening of telling V-Day to eff-off and be able to say you were there for the release of his debut CD The Plastic Masquerade, as he performs an emotional striptease before your very eyes and ears.
The Disgruntled Lovers:
The disgruntled lovers are a dark duo (bitter exes, really) who make splendid sounds and share few words. Trading off on different combinations of sparse piano, guitar, drums and voice, they create deceptively massive grooves with next-to-nothing and a little elbow grease. Can’t imagine it? Think: a minimalistic take on a White Stripes vibe, splashed with some Dresden Dolls sass and spunk, and mixed in with Regina Spektor’s sense of rhythm and luscious lyrics. Or perhaps just picture them as The Captain and Tenille of the low-fi indie scene.
Indulge The Lovers as they unwind a few sordid tales of love, death and insanity by performing selections from their original score to Sanaz Ghajarrahimi's stylishly feverish reimagining of Hamlet -- plus a few other frayed odds and twisted ends.
