The multifarious 8-piece (!) Cheer-Accident are touring for a new album, “You Smile — The Song is Over.” They come from Chicago with a vast and unpredictable repertoire of original music — big band brutal prog, melancholic pop, audience-confoundng hijinx and more!
King Missile (Dog Fly Religion) is the returned first incarnation of King Missile, known for the absurd spoken word hits "Detachable Penis" and "Jesus Was Way Cool." The astoundingly prolific vocalist/poet John S. Hall has been posting FIVE new poems every day since some point in 2020, totaling over 10,000 poems in this period, which he has anthologized in a new book every month. You can read these on his Instagram. Somehow some way, he comes up with five funny poems every day. His primary musical partner in King Missile (Dog Fly Religion) is the tuneful guitarist and sometime vocalist unforgettably known as Dogbowl. I have been a fan of all forms of King Missile since I was 15 when I first heard "Wind-up Toys" and was moved by the dirge "Happy Hour" and teen me is very happy to be sharing the stage with them!
George Korein and the Spleen have a new album “Snacking on Oblivion.” He is in Philadelphia but this Spleen is in New York. Maybe that means that George Korein and the Spleen is currently effectively in New Jersey, armed with tilapia. If you want credentials, these Spleensters play in bands such as Secret Chiefs 3, Cleric and John Zorn's Simulacrum. Not 2 shabby!
