The Midnight Show Band /
Illumina

Show Description

The Midnight Show is singer / piano player Jo Erdos, bassist Joey Weiss and drummer Morgan Zwerlein. The Midnight Show injects their youthful energy into mature songs that tell stories of loneliness and desperation, this band will show you how to enjoy heart break in fresh and addictive way.
The Midnight Show breathes new life into the skewed piano styles of Hunky Dory era Bowie and vocals that echo PJ Harvey, while still managing to make it all feel like a good time. The Midnight Show's Joe's Pub debut is destined to be one of the many memorable experiences of 2006.

illumina is a Philadelphia-based seven piece who play chamber pop that is sometimes happy and sometimes sad. Although the group has grown and shrunk in their four-year existence, they have found a happy medium with two guitars, two basses (one electric, one upright), one drum set, two keyboards, one violin, lots of percussion and many many voices. Their first album, Nightlight, was self-released and garnered them comparisons to Broken Social Scene, Neutral Milk Hotel and Built to Spill. This past October, illumina was one of a select group of artists who were offered a coveted slot to perform at BAM's Next Next Series. They have also shared the stage with The Like, the Spinto Band, Sam Prekop, The Radar Bros, I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness, Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter and more.
