Puttin On The Ritz

We don't remember yesterday; today it rained.

About Me

As it were, perchance to dream, etc. July 1, 2008 joyously marks the release of our debut studio CD album in all of its full jazz quintet glory, entitled Bangin' Your Way Into The Future ( Hot Cup Records ). Featured esteemed colleagues include: trumpeter Peter Evans, saxophonist Jon Irabagon, and upright bassist Moppa Elliott. It would be our pleasure to greet you on our upcoming celebration tour of the U.K. and Europe for some wine and roses, or rather dehydration and concrete, etc. or what have you...a royal happening nonetheless accompanied by all the usual pomp and circumstance.
Furthermore, we demanded a recount, and apparently we were found to be the winners. I am not sure how many other bands were in the running for best Punk Comedy Cabaret Act, but according to the Village Voice, we are the best in the city .
[email protected] is another way to correspond with us -- we do look forward to making your acquaintance.
It would seem that many documents have been lost and/or destroyed, and as a result much of the origins and early history of this particular ensemble remains obscured. Perhaps future generations will be able to unearth more evidence, but that remains to be seen. What is known is that Puttin' On The Ritz consists of two human beings, both male and above the age of consent. They have been known to imbibe large quantities of alcohol before, during, and after their performances; for some reason this is their preference. Occasionally this obsession with intoxication produces disastrous results; other times they are merely threatened with violence. The problem is not that they are unaware of the answer, but that they forgot what the question was. Time will tell, weather permitting.
