CHA CHA CABARET CD 1997 w/ MIRANDA JULY MIRAH THE LOOKERS OLD TIME RELIJUN more

Description: A really weird and cool inspiration. This 1997 CD documents a "cabaret" of unique independent artists, in a sort of surrealist old style cabaret format. There's weirdness and beauty and surprises aplenty, with (some performing under aliases) Miranda July, Old Time Relijun, Nikki McClure, The Lookers (great band including the amazing Sarah Dougher, whose solo records I highly recommend), and more. It's an ambitious and fearless album and it is the opposite of boring! more about it Viva la Baker and radical Divas everywhere. Chez Vous is a compilation drawn from The Cha Cha Cabaret - a show, darling, a traveling Hootenanny and Chataqua, rolled into one. It toured the west coast for a few seasons, organized and hosted by the inimitable Miss Lady Hand Grenade, and then documented itself on this disc. Featured are acts and objects extravagant but familiar, made with those things closest at hand, all recorded by Calvin Johnson at the Dub Narcotic Studio. Chez Vous includes the first recordings on K by the artists Mirah (Cocozelle), Old Time Relijun, Sarah Dougher, Miranda July and Nikki McClure. Drawing heavily on the imagery of Josephine Baker and the attitudes of Nina Simone, starring lady glitterati and tap dancing dandies these restless marauders are the original troubadours, charting the terrain in their flights of fancy. Included on this bountiful collection are the work of Simplement Jacques (aka Dale Shaw of Blood Sausage and the Lies), the Skirts, Old Time Relijun, the Lookers (featuring Sarah Dougher), Panties, Nikki McClure, Cocozelle (aka Mirah), Miranda July, Flying Tigers (featuring Star Athena), our hostess, Miss Lady Hand Grenade (Jen Smith) and the Master of Ceremonies, Simplement Jacques (Dale Shaw).
