Bitch + The Exciting Conclusion / Charming Hostess

Show Description

Armed with an electric violin, a ukulele and a bass guitar, Bitch (formerly of Bitch and Animal), makes her Joe's Pub debut with her band The Exciting Conclusion, featuring The L Word's Daniela Sea. Both an entertainer and songwriter she has pulled audiences to their feet worldwide with her politically charged and personally wrenched lyrics, her atypical instrumentation, minimalist sound and wildly dramatic stage persona. Bitch and the Exciting Conclusion are continuing the Bitch and Animal tradition of making music that is symphonic, beatworthy, break your heart balladry, and raise the roof revolutionary. "straddles the lines between music, comedy and performance art." -SPIN Magazine

Charming Hostess weds the sexy, soulful sound of 60's girl groups to the 21st avant-garde. Sourcing the Jewish and African diasporas, ChoHo's music is rooted in the body--vocals and beatbox, handclaps and heartbeats, sex-breath and silence. Recent CDs include Sarajevo Blues (Tzadik) which sets Bosnian poetry of resistance, and Trilectic (Tzadik) which looks at the political/erotic world of Walter Benjamin. Best described as: Nerdy-Sexy-Commie-Girlie. "Charming Hostess is hilarious and touching...Their songs run the gamut from hard-edged and powerful to sweet and soulful" -The New Yorker
"Their voices radiate female energy and their singing transforms the spirit"
---The San Francisco Chronicle
