Amazing Balkan Brass from Brooklyn!!!

Hi Everyone,

Electric Simcha is honored and excited to be sharing a bill with the AMAZING Ververitse Brass Band. This band is perhaps the tightest, most exciting band to emerge from fairly recent the wave of interest in Roma and non-Roma brass band music from the Balkans. In other words, they rock really hard. With The Horrible Department also involved, you should all be there with your dancing shoes.

It's Friday night at 7PM and its at the Rotunda.

See you there!

Dzian! Summer Tour A' Go-Go!

Don't miss!

Here's more about our friends:

Dzian! (charlottesville VA) - vintage Asian garage-surf rock

Dzian! (pronounced “ze-an”) revives the ecstasy of vintage rock sound from Asia. The band curates and masters the style of Taiwanese a-go-go, Japanese eleki, Indo-rock, Thai disco and shadow music, Malaysian pop yeh yeh, Khmer pop, Middle Eastern bellydance surf, and Ventures hits enjoyed by Taiwanese puppetry bands and audiences. No gimmicks, only geeks. The band embodies Taiwanese “super-cool” by recreating Nakasi (那卡西), down-home, “fashionable” party music in pre-WWII Taiwan. Committed to spectaculars, Dzian! flaunts feather boas, LEDs, authentic costumes, and choreographed belly and go-go dance, while unabashedly delivering tunes in ten languages and counting. From Chinese buffets and shopping malls in Virginia to Manhattan’s Union Square and Taiwan Center in Flushing, the band has left a trail of joyous red boa feathers. Put on your swell dancing shoes, your thumbs up, and say, “Dzian!”
