A great evening with a full house welcoming back Merle Miller (and Suzanne), Joel Brussell, Mike O, and new performer Bonni Schaaf!
Greetings, loyal citizens of Waukegan Sector! In these dark times when our underground complex is increasingly infiltrated by secret mutants from the deadly wasteland outside our armor-plated walls, no weapon is more fearsome than the accordion. And no one wields an accordion more fearsomely than Captain Ambivalent.
In his Computer-mandated effort to explain how we got to this point, he looks to film classics like Metropolis, Star Wars, and Robocop, 1980s fear culture, and a role playing game called “Paranoia,” and discovers he may have had a little hand in The Complex himself.
Report to your re-education pods for sidesplitting musical madness!
Janet Beutner and Mike O returned for an intimate over-the-top evening.
Years ago I stopped by an open mic at Borelli’s Pizza and made a big impression, so host Trisha Ricketts invited me back for an all-star bash.
A wonderful evening with Joel Brussell, Kurt Acton, Janet Beutner, and Mike O. Miss Anthropic was there in her secret identity singing along to all the words.
Part of an evening of local talent benefit for community radio station WVLP.
No snow! We had “a man who doesn’t understand why the hamburger is only helped and not the hot dog,” Tedward, Janet Beutner, and the amazing laid back hiphop jazz band Rhymer Educator.
Off to a good start despite the winter storm! The audience was wonderful and the performers amazing.
In town at 103.1 FM or worldwide at WVLP.org.
I may have had a little too much time on my hands visiting family over Thanksgiving… but that’s how legends are born.
