call 213-237-2800
A darkly elegant evening of gorgeous melodies with a theatrical
flourish. Ann Magnuson and Adam Dugas face off on vocals as Alexander
Rannie and Mia Theodoratus strum their harps in this twisted match
game of musical one-upsmanship. The quartet thrusts and parries
with a variety of tunes ranging from the ridiculous to the sublime:
psychedelic calls to prayer, Henry Purcell's Baroque art songs,
Kraftwerk, Buffy St. Marie, Lee Hazlewood and Pink Floyd as well
as original songs by Magnuson and Dugas. New York art star–turned–L.A.
Woman, Magnuson is also a prolific writer and actress of stage
and screen (as well as the former lead singer of the band Bongwater.)
Dashing underground cabaret impressario Adam Dugas was a founding
member of the performance troupe The Citizens Band and frequently
produces and performs at Deitch Projects in New York. Watch as
Magnuson, with Los Angeles composer and artist Rannie, defends
the home turf against east coast crooner Dugas and comely musician
Theodoratus. There will be blood!

Songs with Ann and Phranc: Songs That Speak to Now and Then
Ann Magnuson & Phranc, the Jewish Lesbian Folksinger
Friday, December 7, 2007
CUE FOUNDATION GALLERY
511 W. 25th Street
Ann Magnuson and Phranc put the Hoot in Hootenanny as they share
the stage -and one acoustic guitar- performing classic tunes of
their own making.
Why waste money feeding the big-money art conglomorates at the
Miami Basel Art Fair when you can stay in New York and GET REAL
with three chords and the truth! Say goodbye to overpriced Cosmopolitans,
deep-fried goat cheese canapes and $900-a-night hotel rooms and
stick it to The Man while roasting marshmellows around our cracklin',
flame-retardant campfire! First 50 people arriving in denim will
recieve free s'mores!!! Kick off those painful high heels and
pull up a flannel blanket in a safe, Kumbaya-free zone as Ann
and Phranc serenade you with songs from their respective ouevres.
Ghost stories! Protest songs! Odes to Billy Joes and Woody Guthrie
sing-a-longs brought to you in one life-lovin' jamboree! Don't
resist! You know you've strayed too long. Throw off the shackles
of those status-whipped, luxury-porn desires fueled by our inane,
war-denying celebrity culture and get back down to basics with
Phranc and Ann. And sing. Sing a song. Folk music. For just plain
folks.

$35
WEIMAR NEW YORK is a theatrical cabaret that juxtaposes the aesthetic
and music of Weimar-era Berlin with that of the contemporary downtown
performance scene in New York City. Performers come to the show
from a variety of backgrounds: from classically trained singers
and musicians to performance artists and burlesque acts. The evening
celebrates the spirit of creative resistance that thrives in response
to conservative political forces be they the rising tides of Nazism
in Weimar Germany or fundamentalist Christianity taking root in
the contemporary United States.
I am performing and I also wrote the theme song. A new recording
of the song, sung by Justin Bond, is available on a compilation
CD sold at the Weimar New York shows.

of the cult band BONGWATER, featuring music, monologue, video
and suprise guests. A vibrant presence on the New York and Los
Angeles art and music scenes, Magnuson debuts new songs and spoken
word from her new CD "Pretty Songs & Ugly Stories"
with help from her producer/collaborator Kristian Hoffman and
New York City's very own Loser's Lounge Band. Her first collection
of all-new musical material since her Geffen release "The
Luv Show", the album is a swirling confection of Baroque
Pop and psycho-sexual angst sprinkled with sly wit and hard-won
wisdom. "Ann Magnuson wears irony well" says the L.A.
Times "She makes it sparkle and shimmer - seductively, seditiously.
(Magnuson is) sequins on the outside, punk inside."

WEIMAR
NEW YORK
Thursday,
SEPTEMBER 21, 2006
Showtime at 10 p.m.
SPIEGELTENT
$20
WEIMAR NEW YORK is a theatrical cabaret that juxtaposes the aesthetic
and music of Weimar-era Berlin with that of the contemporary downtown
performance scene in New York City. Performers come to the show
from a variety of backgrounds: from classically trained singers
and musicians to performance artists and burlesque acts. The evening
celebrates the spirit of creative resistance that thrives in response
to conservative political forces be they the rising tides of Nazism
in Weimar Germany or fundamentalist Christianity taking root in
the contemporary United States.
