ANGELA McCLUSKEY

One of music’s most extraordinary voices, Angela McCluskey returns to New York for two intimate engagements.

The haunting voice behind Telepopmusik’s mega-hit “Breathe,” and lead singer for Los Angeles’ infamous rock group Wild Colonials, Angela has recently earned critical and cult acclaim as a solo artist.

Angela performs songs from her newest solo album “You Could Start a Fight In An Empty House,” as well as other favorites.

With her heart-piercing, worldly-wise voice, Angela McCluskey brings to mind Nina Simone or Billie Holiday. But spend a few minutes with this chortling, cussing, room-dominating force of nature and all hints of tragedy disappear. - Vanity Fair

She could sing a breakfast cereal jingle and leave you a weeping mess. - Boston Globe

WINTERTIME FOR WARHOL – Reading of a new play

By Factory Superstar Ultra Violet and Alexander Motyl

Adolf Hitler. Andy Warhol. Two men whose lives and legacies couldn’t be more different. One man a destructor, the other a creator. One man reviled, the other revered.

But were they really so different?

Take a closer look as a chess game reveals the chillingly similar traits and tactics of two men whose divergent destinies shaped the twentieth century.
