The Next Whiskey Bar

My Fellow Citizens,

I've just been added to the phenomenal bill of tonight's Tingle Tangle Club!  I was grouchy about the Inauguration, but after Aretha, I'm feeling celebratory again.  I'm pasting the press release below.  Do come!

Love
Dan

The evening begins as a lounge party with the impeccable musical stylings of DJ MondoLucien (Windows on the World) and builds to a crescendo as a late night dance party presided over by the legendary DJ Johnny Dynell (Jackie 60, Boy Bar, Vandam). The evening is punctuated by an astonishingly broad spectrum of performers... everyone from "Angel of the Subway" Rosateresa CastroVargas to The Box regular Narcissister and the legendary Flotilla DeBarge. Revelers will also be treated to the sturm und drang of Novice Theory (recently named Ars Nova's 2009 Composer in Residence), cabaret performers Kim Smith and Micaela Leon, soulful diva Amy Douglas (Squeezebox, Koko Dozo), French neo-disco/cabaret performer Naommon and Portland-based singer/songwriter Holcombe Waller (on the heels of his "Into the Dark Unknown" at The Public Theater's Under the Radar Festival). On the occasion of Obama's first day in office Earl Dax and Jo Lampert perform a downtown inaugural duet, and a very special Carngie Hall-worthy performer makes a special guest appearance! It's a contemporary cabaret flowering that reaffirms the nightclub as a point of intersection for people from different walks life and artists from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines. Guests who dress in theme (think Leigh Bowery meets Marlene Dietrich) will receive a complimentary drink from the bar.

About Tingel Tangel Club:

Tingel Tangel Club debuted in October 2007 at Glasslands, a DIY music venue and warehouse space in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, and served as a workshop/salon environment for Dax's popular "Weimar New York" shows. In March 2008, the event leapfrogged to San Francisco (in conjunction with The Jackie Factory) where it continues as a monthly at Cafe du Nord every last Wednesday of the month. In addition to ongoing presentations at Glasslands, Tingel Tangel Club was presented in New York at Deitch Studios in June 2008 in conjunction with an exhibition by Assume Vivid Astro Focus. The roster of performers to grace Tingel Tangel Club's various stages includes: Mike Albo, Penny Arcade, Joey Arias, Justin Bond, Connie Champagne, Adam Dugas, Leigh "Elvis Herselvis" Crow, Bridget Everett, Rebecca Joy Fletcher, Taylor Mac, Ana Matronic, Kenny Mellman, Moby, Julie Atlas Muz, Brandon Olson, Molly Pope, Kate Rigg, Lady Rizo, Basil Twist and Chi Chi Valenti.
