Up and coming-
Mitziut Art Fest performance days- Atomic Theory Dance Band 5/30, Mi Yodea 6/6 and many, many others- details forthcoming.
Until then- not very much :-(

March 6, 2010
New Jewish music for Haiti relief- a benefit for JUF Haitian Earthquake Relief Fund at BooCoo, Evanston
This was the finale of the show.
Starts with Sid throat singing Hava Nagila and then into Shofar Madness- very different (intentionally, on my part) from the atdb version. Then Techezenah (trad.) and Al Aine Azzerga (Rayan/ Ettorki)- bit of Ayoub thrown in for good measure. Avant -> Jewish/ prog/ rock -> drum circle -> Psychedelic World halali jam- that would be us. :-)
Sid Yiddish/ M Hurley/ Ellie Kaplan/ Sue Kaplan/ Ann Gross/ Phil Isaacson/ Linda Wolf

*************************************************

Due to the unprecedented success of recent projects (yippee!) we are now looking for a performance space which we could take over once every month or two and do whatever we want. The nearer to lovely West Rogers Park the better. Maybe capacity in the 80-200 range. If anyone has suggestions- please send us a note- there's an e-mail link at the bottom of this page.

Old news & cool mp3s

It's been a September to remember. Two huge shows within 10 days of each other. We need to thank the members of Mi Yodea (Matt Kanter, Phil Isaacson, Ann Gross and of course my wife...

We are going into yom tov mode- see you again in late fall/ early winter. :-)
