One low admission price for two bands! $15.00
Clean & Nasty - 7pm
Main Squeeze Orchestra - 8 pm
Love | everybody's doing it, or wanting to do it or in denial of wanting to do it. Clean & Nasty and The Main Squeeze Orchestra get lovey dovey in a joint show celebrating the thing everyone can't get enough of. (No, not cash; the other thing). If bluesy originals with flagrantly low-brow lyrics sung by a Korean-American soul singer with a full band including the only Welsh banjo player in existence PLUS the only all-female, all-accordion orchestra on earth lead by local accordion-guru, Walter Kuhr don't spell romance, nothing does.

Bells are jingling... Toes (and other extremities) are tingling. It's the season of Kris Kringling, which means the girls and boys are co-mingling on this night for the Main Squeeze annual holiday show.
Main Squeeze Orchestra and the swanky, lounge/jazz ensemble, The Last of the International Playboys ? will bring in the holidays together with style and sound on this night of Main Squeeze merry-making.
TUESDAY, DEC. 19TH 9:00 PM
at Mo Pitkins - 34 Ave. A @ 4th St.
One low admission price! $15.00

Main Squeeze At Mo Pitkins
Accordions love summer, love going to the pool and doing back flips and eating snacks from the the snack stand as you dry in the sun. The trick to summer is to live each day of it like it will never end even though you know it will. The Main Squeeze Orchestra will help you fake yourself out into fully living up the summer by casting the spell that only an all-female, all-accordion orchestra can cast. Completely accordion versions of everything from classical pieces to 80's pop are a primer for all the pleasures of summer --bike-riding without your shirt on, gelato in the afternoon, slightly hungover brunch in outdoor seating, that impossible hell of all stenches outside East Broadway and Jefferson St. Ah... summer.
