Friday jukebox: Industrial Jazz Group

The Industrial Jazz Group will be touring the northeast next month, including a set at the Green Line Café at 4426 Locust Street on Friday 16 October:



From their website:

[T]he IJG has slowly pioneered the concept of “avant-garde party music”: an idiosyncratic, charming / disarming blend of jazz, rock, cartoon soundtracks, humor, blues, funk, costumes, doo wop, dada, and a lot of other stuff. It’s not really “industrial,” and it’s not really “jazz”: the IJG attempts to demonstrate that music can indeed be complex, sophisticated, sexy, fun, funny, critical, smart, and groovy all at once.

IJG: immensely talented musicians who dress in funny hats and give you a hell of an entertaining show. The October tour includes stops in and around New York, D.C., and New England.
