Spiegel Tent

New York, NY

Other bands or acts who played at that show

• “Fiend in Wien: Peter Lorre's Twentieth Century,” a punk-rock song cycle in twelve parts in which the life of the iconic character actor is traced from his birth in the Carpathian Mountains in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, through street life in Vienna, to Weimar Berlin, minor success in Hollywood, and his return to then-East Germany to work with Berthold Brecht, where he died in 1964.

• I brought one of my least punk friends to this show. For the first half, he was in the crowd. I met him at the break (after the Lorre cycle), and he had a look of pure joy on his face, and he kept raving about how much fun he was having. I could tell it was sort of scaring him. He stayed in the back for the second half and never came to another show (other than a brief appearance at WSP). -D¢
• Something about the show being cut off early because the dancing was too hard and there were terrible cracks in the hundreds year old floorboards… - [unsigned]
