EVENT: Charming Hostess Performing at IMA East
DATE: Wednesday, September 1st, 2004
TIME: 8PM Show
LOCATION: IMA East, 165 Cape Street, Goshen MA. 01032
The Nerdy-Sexy-Commie-Girlies of Charming Hostess come to Goshen, MA, from San Francisco for a rare area appearance at the Institute For The Musical Arts on September 1st, 2004 at 8PM.
NORTHAMPTON, MA. – AUGUST 17th, 2004, / Protect-O-Matic Music Inc, IMA and KFO Productions announced today that Charming Hostess from San Francisco will be performing at IMA East for a rare east coast show in September.
Charming Hostess is three women in a whirl of eerie harmony, hot rhythm, and radical braininess. Their music is intensely physical, rooted in the body--voices and vocal percussion, handclaps and heartbeats, sex-breath and silence. Charming Hostess lives where Jewish and African diasporas collide, incorporating doo-wop, Pygmy counterpoint, Balkan harmony and Andalusian melody. Their last CD (Trilectic, Tzadik) explored the political/erotic nexus with humor and sensuality.
On their latest release, SARAJEVO BLUES, Charming Hostess takes history and news as a context, but steers towards poetry as a way to focus on real human experience, on particularity and wholeness. The pieces are about daily life under siege in Sarajevo. Some explicitly speak of war, and some of cafe culture, urban ideology, or the ridiculousness of communist bureaucratic cant. Woven into the text are philosophical musings about freedom, fear, nationalism, and the nature of evil. It sounds heavy and dark, but we swear it’s mostly about the triumph of the human spirit.

“Charming Hostess unleashes music brilliantly conceived and performed…The sound of these powerful voices coming together is truly uplifting and even implicitly political.”
