Klezmer band Golem hits the big time!
6.11.05
My good friends in the wonderful Yiddish-klezmer band Golem -- including Alicia Jo Rabins, Annette Ezekiel, and her husband, Jeremy Parzen -- were profiled in a terrific article in today's New York Times -- probably one of the best, most comprehensive articles on the contemporary klezmer scene to run in a mainstream publication (and believe me, I read them all in preparing my book, THE ESSENTIAL KLEZMER).
Annette and Alicia are preparing to swing through the region next weekened, perhaps with a guerrilla performance at Dream Away Lodge in Becket, Mass., on Sat., June 18th.
Mazel tov, Golem-chiks!

Here Strides the Bride: Catskills Kitsch in Manhattan
By KATHRYN SHATTUCK
Published: June 11, 2005
As June weddings go, it was a colorful affair, even by New York standards. A six-foot-tall bride, resplendent in white silk, rippling biceps and five o'clock shadow. A five-foot-tall groom whose tuxedo couldn't hide evidence of breasts. And R-rated vows spoken beneath a chuppah at the Knitting Factory, the downtown rock club.
But for five hours on Thursday night, 200 ticket-buying revelers seemed not to notice anything amiss in the club's subterranean Tap Room, where they nibbled on deli meats beneath garlands of fake flowers as Golem, the klezmer rock band, gave itself a wedding in a "Manhattan 2005" version of an old Catskills tradition.
"Every Labor Day weekend the great Jewish hotels threw a 'mock wedding' to end the summer season, complete with cross-dressers, irreverence, the whole nine yards, including, of course, a klezmer band," Annette Ezekiel, the band's founder, said earlier that day as she dealt with last-minute details before the performance piece.
