"There is a song my mother used to sing to me as a child," burbles character Yon Yonson in a fake Russian accent, "It is called the Pennsylvania Polka…." Dolchnakov Brigade is one of the most hilarious bands in Brooklyn, with songs that defy logic even in their titles, like "Dating in Space" and "Onion is Underdog". Their sound is mostly electronic, and their show is a full-on spectacle, inspired by anything bizarre from Dadaism to The Residents to Devo, complete with flying onions, S&M imagery, and – of course! – scantily clad masked dancers banging drums. Check them out live for some fun times.
Big Mosey perks ears with its bluesy alternative rock sound and front-man Matt Jacob’s peculiarly deep and gritty vocals. The band has a solid live show driven by a strong (and loud) rhythm section. You can see them live at at Arlene’s Grocery on July 17.
