Featuring The Wiyos, Zero Boy and many more

Show Description

"New Yorkers are perpetually trying to explain the musical gazingstock that is Sxip... With a musical arsenal that includes the industrial flute, the mutant harmonica, the obnoxiophone, the triple-extended penny whistle, a miniature hand-bell choir, and a regurgitated music box, he conjures a world of infernal calliopes and cotton candy machetes wielded by Gypsy crones with angel feet." -SF Weekly



Gorge yourself on art. This will be incredible: 9 acts and 17 performers! The goal here, like the last Hour of Charm, is to give you an evening of art and entertainment as absolutely sublime as I can make it. This will be the last Hour of Charm and Sxip performance in NYC for awhile so try to make it out! And as many of you know, this show is much longer than an hour.

FEATURING: The jaw-dropping male contortionist JOHNATHAN NOSAN. His style is very intense and beautiful. Not ONLY did we get Johnathan but he's going to bring his contortionist boyfriend BEND JOE. So you will be able to witness the ONLY double male contortion act in the country! We also have the fun and funny VARSITY INTERPRETIVE DANCE SQUAD who were featured in MOBY'S new video! My favorite band in NYC, The Wiyos will delight the hell out of you. I call THE WIYOS "The band that will get you laid". It's true. I have hard evidence. GREG WALLOCH, our favorite raunchy nasty absolutely sweet heartfelt comedian will be telling an absurd true story about cops, stoners and being locked in Tompkins Square park after dark. ZERO BOY, the wizard of pure vocal sound effect psycedelia promises to pull something explosive out his mouth. DJ JOE BASS will be spinning from on hand cranked VICTROLAS. Brand new to New York, we have juggling genius BRETT MCCOY. SXIP will present the further works for backwards disc music box, the new piece for multiple train whistles and triple extended tin whistle and a new snaky bullhorn harmonica Klezmer stomp, playing with him will be human beat boxer ADAM MATTA. The night ends with the middle eastern grooves of DJINN, which features Hurdy Gurdy, Human Beat box, Cumbus and Doumbek.
