Hanuka Rock
Once upon a time, a long long time ago… a bunch of fringe radicals called the MACABEES opposed the powers of global hegemony: THE GREEKS. The MACABEES organized, and fought. And they won.
And THAT is the miracle of Hannuka!!
Today’s fight is just beginning. But you should still rock your socks off in memory of those righteous and radical Maccabeean freaks!
HANUKA ROCK
with….
THE SHONDES -Known for their political anthems and heartbreaking violin hooks, Brooklyn’s The Shondes bring the spirit of riot grrrl to their brand of Jewish-inflected indie rock. MTV Iggy called their new album, Searchlights, (9/20/11, Exotic Fever Records) “an instant classic.”
http://www.shondes.com/static/
YIDDISH PRINCESS – Double guitar onslaught. Drums beating you into submission. Precious analog synths beckoning. And a voice that can shatter ice and coo you into mellifluous bliss. Oyf Yiddish. Looking to reconcile your love of power pop and hard rock with your love of Yiddish music? Your search is over. Behold, Yiddish Princess.
