Everything Walter Sickert And The Army Of Broken Toys do is big. Every show is an event. So what did they do for the release of their Soft Time Traveler album? They went even bigger and more event-y, of course. Have a look…
Sophia Cacciola @ Precinct 3.22.2013
Sophia Cacciola provided a song about monkeys on the ukulele. Porcelain Dalya and Maggie Maraschino provided some burlesque. Vaudeville night at Precinct lived up to its billing.
Goddamn Glenn & The Parlour Bells Players @ Radio 11.27.2012
Parlour Bells are a natural fit for a lounge themed show. They’ve always had a swanky vibe. Reborn as Goddamn Glenn & The Parlour Bells Players, the band passionately embraced Anngelle Wood’s Lounge Act show at Radio. They stripped back the songs and rebuilt them with a red velvet touch. Magen Tracy and Nate Leavitt stepped out and nailed the noir-tinged sound while Brendan Boogie and Paul Myers kept things buttoned down behind them. Frequent Parlour Bells collaborator Joel Edinberg added some drama on the sax. The mood was set for Goddamn Glenn to do his thing. This may have been the finest performance of Glenn DiBenedetto’s career. He crooned. He swooned. He sat down with the ladies. It was a great reminder that even high expectations can be exceeded when you take the time to mix a mid-song martini.
The Globe Bar is open.
