A night of songs by two-time Drama Desk nominee Joe Iconis (Bloodsong Of Love: The Rock ‘n' Roll Spaghetti Western; The Black Suits; Things To Ruin) has sold-out The Laurie Beechman Theater for three Mondays in a row and they've got one show left: August 30th at 9:30pm.
Rabble-rousing writer Joe Iconis returns to The Beechman, bringing with him his beloved family of musical theater punks. THE Joe Iconis ROCK AND ROLL JAMBOREE is a laid-back, fired-up evening of Iconis tunes, featuring new jams, old faithfuls, and glimpses into the future. Songs of hate and hope, suburbia and pornography, cougars and jailbait, dead people and livin' things, and more sing-alongs than you can shake a glass of whiskey at. Some special guests will join Joe for this, the first leg of his "Death To The Bloodless" Tour 2010. So come on down to the Jamboree- it's loud, soft, sweet, nasty, and above all else, bloody as hell. Debut album out on Sh-K-Boom this fall.
