An evening of strange and improbable delight
Whimsey is an evening variety cabaret with a focus on the unconventional. We usually have 8-10 acts in the two hour show, from bands to performance artists, films, dance, poetry, wrestling, comedy…Whimsey is not open mic, but its purpose is to give the oddest and most marginalized artists in the community a voice and an audience so they can spread their weirdness and let it be free and grow. We usually throw in a popular local band or two as well.

Grubstake is a 3-piece group from the Boston area that delivers a smoldering shot of blues-based folk-punk-gumbo unlike anything you’ve heard before (unless you’ve heard THEM before). The band is celebrating the release of their 2nd album, “Ghosts of Aricadelphia”, and this show will feature a running film montage provided by Bus 27 Films, as well as the band’s 2 short films/videos. For more information, check out http://www.grubbies.net.
Opening:
TONYA MILLER
A reviewer at CDBaby.com wrote:“Anni Di Franco meets the Beatles — This album is fresh, melodic, and haunting. The songs capture the essence of yearning. They will move you and stay with you. “Keyhole” is what would have happened if Anni Di Franco and Sarah Mclaughlin were in the Beatles. It has satisfyingly complex music, hallucinogenic lyrics, and catchy rhythms. Any fan of Anni, the Beatles, or Sarah Mclaughlin will love this album. I play it again and again.”

What to say that isn’t obvious or exploitatively sensational about Freaks?
Only that the cast of “human oddities” that populate this film represent a
nearly vanished circle of humanity. It’s strangely wonderful that this
movie was made . . . and strangely sad that it could never be made today.
Screened in lurid 16mm.
