[SICULAR <SICULAR...>]

    *ISLE OF KLEZBOS*
at the Knitting Factory 
New York City, TUES OCT 24
&
at Sarah Lawrence College
Bronxville NY, THUR OCT 26

Two chances to hear Isle of Klezbos, the all-female powerhouse klezmer 
sextet!  First downtown, Tues 10/24 at the Knitting Factory's Old Office, 8pm 
& 9:30pm sets, just $7 (plus one drink minimum), 74 Leonard St, NYC.  Info: 
212-219-3006 or <www.knittingfactory.com>

Next, on campus at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, come to the Coffee 
House for a 9pm show.  Info: 914-337-0700; sponsored by Hillels of 
Westchester.   Either way, an early celebration of Simkhes Torah featuring 
lots of material from MOSAIC PERSUASION, our "terrific new CD" (-Seth 
Rogovoy, =The Forward=) with Metropolitan Klezmer, which delivers "a tighter, 
more unified sound than ever... *****" (-George Robinson, =Jewish Week=)

Seth, whose recent book THE ESSENTIAL KLEZMER will be featured with us on an 
upcoming edition CNN 'Worldbeat' -- including live performance footage from 
our CD release party at Makor in September, -- describes that Klezbos show in 
the current issue of the Forward:
"...a snazzy mixture of upbeat Eastern European dance tunes, Middle 
Eastern-influenced improvisations and luscious Yiddish theater tunes 
delivered by vocalist Deborah Karpel with just enough of an edge - in this 
case, the hint of lesbianism that runs through the band's performance - to 
fend off the dreaded shmaltz or nostalgia factor."  Yeah?  See for yourself!

PAM FLEMING - trumpet & flugelhorn
RACHELLE GARNIEZ - accordion & harmony vox
DEBORAH KARPEL - vocals
DEBRA KREISBERG - clarinet & alto sax
CATHERINE POPPER - bass
EVE SICULAR - drums

from the Isle of Klezbos" t-shirt (available at all shows!! and posted any
