NELLIE MCKAY, JESUS H. CHRIST & THE FOUR HORNSMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE, LIFE IN A BLENDER

Prepare yourself for a night of intrigue, danger, and unhinged musical shenanigans with three of New York's wiliest artists: The darkly comical oddball singer-songwriter Nellie McKay; Jesus H. Christ & the Four Hornsmen of the Apocalypse, described as “NRBQ with a metallic pop edge and an expanded horn section, fronted by a singer who looks a bit like Julia Louis Dreyfus, sounds a bit like Sarah Vowell and writes a bit like Amy Rigby, only much nastier”; and Life in a Blender, whose bizarrely theatrical show often involving a sheep-headed hand puppet named Rugged Rick.

ARPLINE

ArpLine (formerly The Kiss Off), lists their genre on Facebook as “awesome,” and we have to agree. While staying inventive, bringing in brass to their sound to push them to the next level, they also enjoy life’s finer things, like vests and ties, Angela Lansbury, and Sparks malt beverages.
