This fantastic band, Pinataland, has lots of New York City history songs (including
one about the elephant that got electrocuted at Coney Island and
another about the history of Dean Street). The show is Saturday, with details below:

Friends.

Be pleased to escort yourself and your loved ones to a
free performance by the weird-and-dark history orchestrette
Pinataland next weekend.

Appearing will be the inscrutable David Wechsler
on vocals, piano and accordion, the terrific Dan Nosheny on tuba, the
essential Robin Aigner on vocals, the crafty Bill Gerstel on drums,
the surly Gerald Menke on pedal steel guitar, and myself on guitar and
vocals.
