Wednesday, September 1st, 2010One Arm and a Leg
Updated: Wednesday, August 11th, 2010
Presented by Here Arts
One Arm and a Leg is a piece of devised theater inspired by Yasunari Kawabata’s short story One Arm. The style of writing calls our attention to what is missing in the language—to what has been lost in translation as this story makes its way to America from Japan.
With One Arm and a Leg, PEGLEG seeks to place the extant themes of Kawabata’s story in dialogue with our own ponderings on physical loss, the location of home, and identity as expressed and experienced through the body. At times poetic, at times violent, One Arm and a Leg seeks to provoke, to meditate, to linger on such questions as: Where does one person end and another person begin? In what sense do we own our own bodies? How is identity related to the physical self? Using dance, video, music, and text, PEGLEG attempts to open up a discussion about these themes and investigate the role of loss in human life during moments of connection and moments of departure.

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010An evening with the Queens of Soca
Updated: Thursday, August 26th, 2010
SOB’s presents: An evening with the Queens of Soca
Doors 7:30pm, show 9pm, $25 adv, $30 at the door
“AN EVENING OF SOCA MUSIC”
Feat.
DESTRA GARCIA
& ALISON HINDS
Hosted By
THE LEGENDARY “MIGHTY SPARROW”
SOBs presents an event unheard of in the history of Soca. On Wednesday, September 1st the world-famous venue will host the two Queens Of Soca on the same stage. Destra Garcia & Alison Hinds will grace the same stage for the first time ever in New York City.
The Labor Day festivities are getting started the right way with this unprecedented concert. Destra hails from Trinidad, the birthplace of Soca and is world-renowned for her voice as well as her high energy performances and unique sense of fashion. Destra’s 2003 hit ‘It’s a Carnival’ rocketed her to super-stardom and became an unofficial anthem of the annual Trinidad & Tobago Carnival celebration. Since this early success, Destra has had hits like ‘We Luv Carnival’ and ‘I Dare You’, both which represent her signature Soca style.
Alison Hinds is originally from Barbados and the flavor of the island is indelibly stamped on her music. She shot to world-wide fame with the release of her mega-hit ‘Roll It Gal’ and since then, has been releasing hits steadily. Throughout her career, Alison has been instrumental in introducing Soca music to a wider audience all around the globe.
Both Alison & Destra have resumes which give them the right to claim the title of ‘Queen of Soca’ and each year, with the release of more great music from each of them, the argument amongst their fans rages on. While the argument may go unsettled, one thing is certain – that each of these ladies puts on one of the best shows of any genre.
Joining Destra & Alison on this special night will be The Mighty Sparrow, the Calypso King. Sparrow will be acting as the host and is the perfect person to round out this star-studded show. Sparrow was started in music making Calypso but was one of the first artists to embrace Soca as it gained popularity during the late 1970s in Trinidad.
Come to SOBs and witness history, as Destra Garcia & Alison Hinds take the same stage in NYC and bring a taste of Island Carnival.
Doors at 7:30pm, show at 9pm & Admission is $25 advance, $30 at the door.

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010My Dog Tulip
Updated: Thursday, August 26th, 2010
| Film Forum Presents: My Dog Tulip
Wednesday September 2 – Tuesday September 14
BASED ON THE NOVEL BY J.R. ACKERLEY |
||
“No one is more observant, more loving toward dogs and at the same time less sentimental about them… “I was absolutely swept away by this film. It is witty and wise and brilliantly animated – a work of art.” Paul and Sandra Fierlinger’s animated interpretation of J.R. Ackerley’s droll and tender 1956 memoir does justice to the highly personal nature of this man-and-beast love story. Ackerley remains British to the bone, and Tulip never fails both to delight and embarrass him in her choice of mates and in her canine indiscretions. Christopher Plummer gives voice to the unflappable, wry Ackerley and the late, great Lynn Redgrave is the sister who comes to share his flat and vie with him for the dog’s loyalty. Isabella Rossellini is Tulip’s sensitive and sensible veterinarian. The Fierlingers’ animated designs combine naturalism and visual wit, and their profound feelings for both dog and man are unmatched by conventional doggie cartooning. “No one is more observant, more loving toward dogs and at the same time less sentimental about them… An eloquent, carefully structured study in love and adaptation.” — Edward Guthmann, Bark magazine Go to the MY DOG TULIP YouTube page for clips, the trailer, and a behind-the-scenes tour with animators Paul & Sandra Fierlinger. USA • 2009 • 83 MINS. • NEW YORKER FILMS |

One of the leading American exponents of bhangra music, DJ Rekha specializes in the style but also mixes dancehall, dub, and hip-hop into her DJ sets. The popularity of the club night in New York and the uniqueness of her style there made her a minor media celebrity regularly featured in local publications such as New York Times, Time Out New York, The Village Voice, and New York Magazine, as well as on multiple episodes of NPR and in fashionable magazines such as The Fader and Urb. Born as Rekha Malhotra in London, England, in 1971, to parents of Punjabi descent, she was raised in Queens and Westbury, Long Island, and later moved to Brooklyn, which she now calls home. In 2007 she made her official album debut with Basement Bhangra, a DJ mix released by Koch Records. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide
Her recent album, DJ Rekha Presents Basement Bhangra, is a 17 track mix CD with four exclusive tracks including two original productions from Rekha. DJ Rekha has collaborated with an array of artists including Wyclef Jean, Panjabi MC, and Bikram Singh to name a few. The album weaves Punjabi folk traditions, dance hall rhythms from the U.S., U.K. and Jamaica, and DJ techniques that are 100% New York.
Based in New York City, for the last 13 years she hosts the long-running monthly club night Basement Bhangra, which is held HERE at S.O.B.’s.

Friday, September 3rd, 2010Aaron Parks Quintet
Updated: Monday, August 16th, 2010
The Jazz Gallery presents: Aaron Parks Quintet
Friday, September 3rd, 2010 to Saturday, September 4th, 2010
9:00 & 10:30 pm
$20.00 | $10.00 for Members, buy ticket
Aaron Parks – piano, Dayna Stephens – tenor saxophone, Todd Neufeld – guitar, Thomas Morgan – bass, RJ Miller – drums
Pianist Aaron Parks hails from the state of Washington and is now one of jazz’s most prized musical figures – named a “New Visionary” in the September 2008 issue of JazzTimes magazine. We featured him in our Jazz Gallery Composers Series in 2007 with a project that took the title “Archetypes: Character Studies in Sound.” Possessing a musical maturity far beyond his years, he began his membership in Terence Blanchard’s groundbreaking ensemble at age 18. He has also toured and performed extensively with Kurt Rosenwinkel and many other important bandleaders. Aesthetically, Aaron is informed by everyone from Herbie Hancock to Aphex Twin to Toru Takemitsu. His piano approach combines technical dazzle with a contemplative touch and a subtle harmonic palette – qualities that were well documented on his auspicious 2008 debut for Blue Note Records, Invisible Cinema. He returns this week at the helm of an impressive quintet.
