07/01/09	Bowery Poetry Club 308 Bowery (Bleecker-Houston Sts.) Now that the building which once held CBGB is a clothing store that sells $100 t-shirts, it might seem the Bowery has lost all its rock 'n' roll points, prompting disaffected suburban youths everywhere to look elsewhere for role models. Thankfully, the famously debauched thoroughfare still boasts a tiny sliver of coolness: At the Bowery Poetry Club, D.I.Y. musicians are singing the praises of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. At Theater of Fools, Bowery's monthly music showcase, artists choose substance over style, providing a breath of fresh "less-lame era" to anyone who feels they will gouge their eyes and ears out if forced to witness another crappy hipster band who may have sold their souls to Satan but forgot to ask for musical talent in return. The main acts at Theater of Fools: Sean T. Hanratty (an art-throb with the voice of an angel who smokes fifteen packs of Camel unfiltered a day) and The Fools (a female duet who've had more bras hurled at them than Tom Jones) are joined by their equally talented friends. Bands like the New York Howl, Schwervon!, Jason Trachtenberg, the Wowz, Ching Chong Song, I Love You Airlines, Ursa Minor, and the Purple Organ have all graced the Bowery Stage for Theater of Fools. The night is hosted by two-time Mr. Lower East Side, Moonshine Shorey, who gives out free raffle prizes and drink specials all night long. And the audience, comprised largely of Downtown's dwindling population of freaks, is a show in and of itself. Best of all, the whole goddamned thing is FREE. July will feature live music from: Chelsea Lynn LaBate: www.myspace.com/chelsealynnlabate Danielles Sounds: www.myspace.com/danielletharegulator The Fools: www.myspace.com/thefools_lostandfound Sean T. Hanratty & the Mighty Mighty: www.myspace.com/seanthanratty

07/02/09	Feinstein?s at the Loews Regency Hotel 540 Park Ave. at 61st St. Seductive, lush and emotive, the music of Anders Holst has drawn accolades from fellow musicians such as Quincy Jones, and has earned him such critical kudos as "Anders Holst is a regal contender to become the new crowned prince of contemporary romantic music..." (Billboard magazine) and "The Sting of Stockholm is back and this time he's singing about love. Holst sings like a man comfortable in his own skin." (All About Jazz) On July 2, the Swedish-born, New York City-based Holst will return for a single night's engagement at Feinstein's at Loews Regency, where he will perform selections from his recent release, Romantika, his 2006 EP, Five, as well as smooth and jazzy interpretations of some well-loved classic tunes. The ten songs on Romantika capture Holst's remarkable fondness for penning songs that are truly from and of the heart, enhanced by a genuine and refined pop sensitivity and an incomparable elegance. The album explores countless sides of love and heartbreak, vulnerability and redemption, marked by the refreshing sense of optimism that permeates Holst's songwriting. From the lilting, piano-driven ballad of "Lovers in the Dark", which recalls the jazz-tinged sophistication of Michel Legrand, to Holst's sultry rendition of Billy Joel's "All About Soul," his lyrical honesty and refined approach remains true throughout. Upon hearing Romantika, Quincy Jones commented, "His honest and original love songs can give romantic music a brand new chance" and Billboard's Fred Bronson said, "It grabbed me instantly; I haven't heard music and lyrics like this before. When you can play something unique after listening to music for 35 years, that's fantastic!" During the entire month of March, Holst teamed up with the Greater New York City Affiliate of Susan G. Komen For The Cure ® to donate all proceeds from the iTunes sales of his Billy Joel cover, "All About Soul," to the fight against breast cancer. He is also the face of a special campaign with VisitSweden, Sweden's official website for tourism and travel. Tickets for the July 2 show are available on the Feinstein's website or by calling 212-339-4095. For additional information about Anders, visit www.andersholst.com.
