It made the front page of my hometown paper. She always wanted to sing in New York City she said. So it was a lot to take in but she did just fine.īE: That's right, I brought her on stage to sing. 'Cause you know, she's a conservative, Republican schoolteacher and I'm spread-eagle on a guy on-stage. She walked into the theatre and it was pretty overwhelming for me. She finally came to a show when I hadn't seen her in three years. And my Mom's like, “What's this about sex with black men?” Nothing about the abortion bits. And they talk about how I mention abortion and sex with black men in the show. So I slowly started telling her after the show got picked up and reviewed by The New York Times. When did your Mom discover exactly what you do? Did you describe it for her?īE: I just kept telling her I'm doing some “thing” and she would be like, “I'm so proud of you.” She never really asked what it was. I do the same thing now but I get paid for it. Oh - and my Mom used to get drunk around the piano. It was just kind of like, I had the voice of an angel, and I worked it out step-by-step. It was just people singing, telling stories and getting wild. And I was like, “What the…” I didn't even know this kind of thing existed. And he took me to see this group called Kiki and Herb.

He joined the team, we became part of this brotherhood and went from there.ĪH: We should get a game going on in L.A. I think that's how I got him in the band actually. So we're just trying to get out of the cold.īE: We're on a softball team together. We have a regular show at Joe's Pub in New York and it's great. Why this performance and why now?ĪH: We're coming just to get out of the cold. It's like cabaret with motor-boating.Īdam, this is your first live performance in L.A. But I tell people I'm a singer and that you have to see it to believe it. Oh and I would also have to throw out the voice of an angel.īE: With a little bit of titty. I would use tender, fabulous, emotional, terror and glamorous. I mean, at least I don't have to go back to high school reunions for them to find me.įor someone who's never seen you guys perform live, what should they expect?īE: You know, my friend calls it “cunt rock.” But I think it's sort of terrifying - Adam what words would you use?ĪH: I wouldn't use terror. We got to work on our stories.īridget, were you aware that searching your name on Google images is enough to get someone fired?īE: Then my job here is done. The waves are too loud and the suntan lotion is making the phone slip away from my ear.īE: I'm on the mean streets of New York right now drinking a juice.ĪH: You should have told them you're in Malta or something. We spoke with the pair about a lot of wacky things.Īdam Horovitz: Wait – you can't hear me or I can't hear you, because I'm too far away right now. They're taking their cabaret-style show cross-country and have big plans for the future, including “cunt rock” world domination. The bassist for said group just happens to be Adam Horovitz, also known as King Ad-Rock from the Beastie Boys.
