SEPTEMBER 2006
Sept. 17 - WORLD/INFERNO presents "Peter Lorre's Twentieth Century" @ Spiegeltent
Fulton Fish Market @ South St. Seaport
New York, NY
New York's own World/Inferno Friendship Society returns from a national tour to premiere "Fiend in Wien: Peter Lorre's Twentieth Century", punk rock song cycle in twelve parts in which the life of the iconic character actor is traced from his birth in the Carpathian Mountains in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, through street life in Vienna, to Weimar Berlin, minor success in Hollywood, and his return to then-East Germany to work with Berthold Brecht, where he died in 1964. Originally intended, and partially completed, as a follow-up to their "True Story of the Bridgewater Astral League" musical, the Inferno have picked up and knuckled down to finish the damn thing.
The disturbingly cult-like globetrotting punk orchestra from Brooklyn is pleased to present this examination of the much-overlooked yet beloved figure, in song.
About Spiegeltent: "From their beginnings in Belgium at the turn of the last century, these iconic tents have been traveling the world as part of arts festivals and fairs. The famous and the infamous have performed in these hallowed halls. Made from finest teak and beveled mirrors, and looked after lovingly by a small band of owners, these exceptional venues have never failed to enthrall, delight, surprise and seduce. See for yourself."
September 18: WORLD/INFERNO on Bro'in Out @ Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre
307 W. 26th St.
NYC
Inferno will be appearing on a "live talk show" at the UCB Theatre. With Chris Parnell of SNL.
"Somewhere between "The Dick Cavett Show" and "After Dark with Hugh Hefner" lies "Bro'In Out with Leo & Tony." In this live talk/variety show, host Leo Allen and 'sidekick' Tony Camin welcome real celebrity guests for a straight up talk show with booze, swearing, sketches and music.
Hosts: Leo Allen (Slovin & Allen)
Tony Camin ("The Marijuana-logues")
Bartender: Jawnee Conroy"

Did we used to date & I never wrote you a decent love song? Just want to make me dance like a monkey? I'll be featured along with Erin McKeown, Olabelle, and others, in a "Song Auction"; at the Cupid-On-Demand benefit party. We'll each play a few songs, then be put up for sale by a live auctioneer, sold to the highest bidder, and be given an hour to write and perform them a personalized song (for a special friend, mother, ex, whoever).
