IMPRESARIO: Monday Night … Dengue Fever + Anonymous Theater
Tonight, catch Dengue Fever! No, not the particularly nasty strain of mosquito-transmitted disease (think pain behind the eyes, horrible muscle and joint problems), but the L.A.-based ensemble, performing their weirdo homage to 1960s Cambodian pop music at Johnny Brenda’s. You know, in the vein of Sinn Sisamouth, Ros Sereysothea, and Mulatu Astatke. No idea what we’re talking about? Visit Dengue’s MySpace page for a taste of the band’s unique brand of psychedelia. Show starts promptly at 9 p.m. $10.
If that’s a little too far out there for you, you can still live a little bit on the edge by checking out the Philadelphia Dramatists Center’s annual Anonymous Theater event at the Wilma. Basically, it’s a play (Steele MacKaye’s Won at Last) performed by a cast that has never met or rehearsed together. They’ve rehearsed, but only one-on-one with the director. Not exactly sure what the benefit of all this is, but it does sound like it could be fun. 8 p.m. $15 to $20.
