Hope we find out before you do. See you there!! (where?)

Coming back to NYC!!!

Tell your people:::


Get tix here!!

August 10th at Johnny Brenda's!!

Summer in Philly is heating up. Rumi Kitchen has been tending to his sculpture garden, and snipping up basil for a delicious pesto. Johnny is in back Rhode Island, taking care of Ciacassi family matters. Vincent the Lion and Noami Salami are deep in the Philly hustle, playing Michael Jackson Covers over Jobim chord progressions. You know the deal.

Our Rockwood Music Hall gig last week was incredible, but we can't wait to come home to Philly and play for the people!! :::Johnny Brenda's::: Get tickets here!

We are also excited to be reunited with our brooklyn glam lady cock-rock crushes MOTHER FEATHER. They have been tearing it up in New York, especially at Rockwood. We want to bring them out to Philly again, especially because this is probably the last time they will be opening for us. Next time, we will be opening for them!



Also on the bill is RED 40, who is also opening for my theatrical love Martha Graham Cracker this month at L'etage!

The Deli Philadelphia Featured Artist!

Thanks to all or friends who voted for us to become the Deli Philadelphia's Featured Artist! We totally won by three votes!
What did we win? What didn't we win?!!
Well, we got this great interview, for starters, and they reposted our Sensual Video.

Does this mean we are, like, "indie"? We think so!! Well, we are certainly EMO, and by that we mean EMOTIONAL.

We get so emotional.

Family

Our 7/28 show at Underground Arts was nothing short of transparent. Transparent? Translucent. Transcendent! Here is a photo of the group before the show.

Sadly, it was the last performance of the Half-Truth (known to some as Jamie McKittrick...not me, of course), who has left us for adventures beyond. We will miss her dearly, as demonstrated in the on-stage presentation of this Carvel ice cream cake.

It was also the release of our new EP Mystic Ticket I: The Pump Fake, which we played in its entirety, with some help from my emotional extension, The Six Lady Dancers.

It was such a killer show... setlist below:

Underground Arts / MYSTIC TICKET

Psychedelic soul cabaret crooner Johnny Showcase is pleased to announce his return to Underground Arts, 12th and Callowhill, on Saturday, July 28th at 9pm. (tickets!)
The July 28th show will coincide with the digital release of his four song EP MYSTIC TICKET I: The Pump Fake.
On the 28th, we will play the EP in its entirety, front to back!
A follow up to his 2011 soul/ comedy masterpiece LOVE IS THE MESSAGE, Johnny turns in his 8-track 70’s sound for a futuristic fantasia, putting the analog aside for an almost completely digital synthetic-sound.
Each track nibbles on a different genre of spacey funk, from the Herbie Hancock kinetic shuffle of Screwdriver (I’m Sorry Michael) to the Prince / D’Angelo- drenched ballad Rubber Glove, finishing with the anthemic Bowie-flavored disco of Forget about the World. Also included is a dub-heavy reworking of Johnny’s stalker love song, Shalamon (Future Mix).

I began work on MYSTIC TICKET after a terrible bicycle accident left me with a fractured elbow. Jobless and stranded at home, I spent the winter of 2010-2011 with Dotty on my lap, self-producing the record, enlisting friends such as Rumi Kitchen, guitarist Vinnie Federici and bassist Andrew Nelson to help create this futuristic deliciousness. It was mixed/ mastered at Waterfront Studios by blood sister/ collaborator Rachel Alina, who co-produced Love is the Message with us and Henry Hirsch (Lenny Kravitz, Madonna).
Starting July 28th, Screwdriver (I’m Sorry Michael) will be available for a free download in exchange for following Johnny on Twitter and liking Johnny Showcase and the Lefty Lucy Cabaret on Facebook.
