Yes, folks, it's true! Tingel Tangel Club celebrates its one year anniversary on March 25 at Cafe du Nord. Just 12 months ago the legendary Joey Arias christened what has turned out to be a resilient, resplendent and occasionally raucous intermingling of headlining talent from NYC and other West Coast cities and an eclectic array of the Bay Area's finest performers.
For our 1-year celebration, JD SAMSON ("Le Tigre," MEN) gets behind the turntables to keep the crowd dancing until 2am. Doors open at 8:00p, and our first performance set will start promptly at 8:30p to accommodate a dazzling show co-hosted by SCOTTY THE BLUE BUNNY (just returned from a performing in Australia) and GINGER SNAP (host of the monthly "Snapalicious"). Before moving to SF last year, Scotty had established himself as one of the stars of NYC's much ballyhooed "neo burlesque" scene. In addition to her own monthly at Deco Lounge, Ginger Snap is notorious for MC’ing many Comfort & Joy events including “Brighter Days Ahead†and “Suppervision.“
Confirmed performers include NYC-based NOVICE THEORY. For those of you who caught "Weimar New York" at SFMOMA, you'll recall the arresting young singer who accompanied himself on the accordion. We brought Novice Theory back in May for Tingel Tangel Club at Bubble Lounge, and he performed as part of Justin Bond's "Lustre" at the Soho Theatre in London last Fall. A break out star in his own right, Novice Theory was recently named Composer-in-Residence at Ars Nova in NYC.
We're also excited to introduce SLOWMO EROTIC to San Francisco audiences. In naming the LA-based duo as one of The Top 100 Unsigned Bands of 2008, Music Connection Magazine says, "singer/keyboardist Kevin Hardy spearheads a duo characterized by clever, hypersexual, often raunchy wordplay delivered in an archly theatrical way."
The evening starts on a high note as COOKIE DOUGH (The Monster Show) rolls out an opening production number featuring a cast of drag queens, trannies and their admirers. The ORIGINAL COCKETTE RUMI is joined by another original Cockette SCRUMBLY. Known for his "post-modern impersonations" of Patsy Cline and Marlene Dietrich ARTURO GALSTER debuts new material with Scrumbly on the keys. Burlesque performance artist (and Diamond Dagger) JUKIE SUNSHINE brightens the proceedings while the breathtaking beat-box juggling sensation BRONKAR promise to amaze you with his vaudevillian moxie. The late evening gets a jolt of adrenaline in the form of SUPPOSITORI SPELLING (host of Cocktailgate at Truck) and the hilarity level hits orange alert levels with gay, Muslim comic ALI MAFI.
We're taking a couple of months off after this to get ready for our blow out PRIDE edition of Tingel Tangel, so get your fix and help us celebrate our 1-year mark!!
Convened the last Wednesday of each month, Tingel Tangel Club draws a vibrant cross-section of San Francisco artists, performers and glorious freaks. Already an underground phenomenon in New York City (where guest performers have included Moby and Ana Matronic), Tingel Tangel Club is the wicked sister to independent curator and producer Earl Dax's Weimar New York which played SF MOMA for two performances in February and is presented here in San Francisco in conjunction with Wulfpak.
