Massachusetts Museum Plays Blue Ox

Massachusetts Museum Of Contemporary Art will play 'Babe the Blue Ox' on Saturday, July 18, 2009, 8:00 pm, at Pavilion or Club B-10.

The Village Voice calls them, “one of Brooklyn's finest and most unfairly unsung rock bands” and says they have “perfected a vibrant, volatile blend of catchy melodies and spastic, rambunctious noise, like Captain Beefheart making children's records, [or] Tom Waits auditioning for Kool and the Gang.”

This alt-rock/art-funk trio on guitar, bass, and drums, (Listen now!)has enchanted fans for nearly two decades guitar, using jazz, sludge rock and punk to screw up their pop music but they also play songs that are "unabashedly lovely, vivid proof of the tender human heart driving this vigorously cerebral corps."

The Alt Cabaret Series is supported by the Hans and Kate Morris Fund for New Music. -- www.massmoca.org
