Klezmatics cd release party (finally!)

[Lorin Sklamberg <lsklamberg...>]

Hello, all!

Here's the official blurb from Joe's Pub at the Public Theater, NY:

The Klezmatics - Rise Up! CD Release Party

The Possessed Jews with Horns are Back!

The Klezmatics are known for blurring the lines of tradition with a modern 
sonic aesthetic. From ecstatic songs of praise to Yiddish carnival songs, from 
a kick-ass workers' march to slamming klezmer tunes old, new, frantic and 
mysterious, The Klezmatics rise up once again on their latest outing-Rise up! 
Shteyt Oyf! (Rounder) - continuing the unlikely combination of ancient shtetl 
party music with an innovative consciousness that could only arise from the 
experimental and intellectual East Village.

"The Klezmer revival of the 1980s was still young when the Klezmatics exploded 
onto the scene, shaking up Eastern European Jewish folk with jazz and 
world-music influences. Seventeen years later, it's impossible to imagine the 
genre without them...their music remains as deeply compassionate as it is 
invigorating, as accessible as it is virtuosic." - Time Out NY
