Up & Coming – Music – Up & Coming – The Stranger Seattle’…
TheStranger.com – Dec 26, 2007
The Seattle-based band’s version of “Jingle BellRock” remains musically faithful to the 1950s original with theexception of the monstrous vocals. “Carol of the Bells” combines aharmonic dual-guitar interpretation of the melody (reminiscent ofTrans-Siberian rchestra’s “Christmas Eve”) with a demonic “ding dong”intonation and samples from National Lampoon’s ChristmasVacation (”when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimneytonight he’s gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side ofthe nuthouse”). This is the group’s closest concert date to theholiday making it the perfect gig for people who’ve always wanted tohear joyous Christmas carols filtered through a guttural growl.

East Bay Express – Dec 26, 2007
Clown Bible Ten Red Hen. There was a whole lot more to this musical clown show of Bible stories by composer Dave Malloy and director Maya Gurantz than just slapping red noses on the prophets. Packed with slyly subversive takes on familiar stories and infectiously memorable songs this bare-bones production in a middle school metal shop was something sublime. The Pillowman Berkeley Repertory Theatre. Martin McDonagh’s play about a fairy-tale writer under interrogation for a string of grisly murders reminiscent of his stories is a delicate dance of gruesome menace and pitch-black humor and one navigated nimbly by director Les Waters and a stellar cast headed by Tony Amendola and Erik Lochtefeld… Best Show-Stealers: An odd toss-up between the burlesque dancers spicing up Impact’s Impact Briefs 8: Sinfully Delicious and the dramatic heft of James Carpenter’s ailing Edward IV in Cal Shakes’ Richard III. Best Set: Lisa Clark’s reedy marshlands for the Shotgun Players production of Eisa Davis’s Bulrusher. Best Music: Dave Malloy because it was impossible to come away from Clown Bible not singing “I’m Saaamson I’m craaaazy. Best Prop: The remote-controlled curling stone in Thunderbird Theatre’s Citizen Kane send-up Aah! Rosebud. Interestingly the same technology used to propel a fearful fuzzball in the Woman’s Will’s postmodern Antigone was just strange and off-putting.
