Show Description
"For those who've kept the faith in bands with doe-eyed pop instincts and chamber-music instrumentation, New York band The Fancy provides validation."
-the Onion AV Club
"When was the last time you heard a rock band where every song gave prominent roles to bassoon and viola?"
-Peter Margasak, The Chicago Reader
Integrating affection, honesty, and humor into every song, The Fancy is a stand out in the Brooklyn indie rock scene. Their sound manages to be both eccentric and accessible, featuring atypical instrumentation within an equally unique song-writing setting. They bring this individual style and energy to their Joe's Pub debut on May 9th, 2010. Classically trained musicians with a love for popular forms, the Fancy merges chamber music and pop sensibilities in their self-titled EP. This 5-track EP overflows with vocal harmony, full-band counterpoint, thick orchestral textures, and tongue-in-cheek lyricism. This special evening will provide a kick-off to the iTunes release of this EP and will feature an opening performance by Corey Dargel, Cornelius Dufallo and a digital looper.
Corey Dargel is a Texas-born, Brooklyn-based composer and songwriter whose gentle assault on pop and classical idioms creates a tension that pervades his music. He has performed on bills with Joanna Newsom, Owen Pallett, Grizzly Bear, the American Composers Orchestra, the International Contemporary Ensemble, and others. His third album, Someone Will Take Care of Me, comes out on May 25, 2010, on New Amsterdam Records.
Cornelius Dufallo is a member of the string quartet Ethel and the director of the creative music ensemble Ne(x)tworks. He has worked artists including Ornette Coleman, Oliver Lake, Butch Morris, Anthony Coleman, Bryan Adams, Lenny Kravitz, and Queensryche. His solo album, Dream Streets, is out on the Innova label.
