KINKY FRIEDMAN GOES BIPOLAR


Kinky Friedman

Everyone’s favorite former Texas gubernatorial candidate, political commentator and self-proclaimed “author, columnist, musician and beautician” Kinky Friedman is going bipolar, as in Kinky Friedman’s BiPolar Tour, which starts in New England on June 6 and continues through to July 1. As he has done on his recent “sojourns through America,” Kinky will be performing solo, dispensing the wisdom of the Jewish troubadour, and signing books.

The Kinkster, whose solo performance has recently been described as “Mark Twain meets Groucho Marx . . . at the corner of Johnny Cash and Lenny Bruce,” will be hitting the road fresh on the heels of the release of his brand new book, The Billy Bob Tapes: A Cave Full of Ghosts, co-authored by and about the life and times of Billy Bob Thornton. With a foreword from Angelina Jolie, The Billy Bob Tapes promises “colorful tales of [Billy Bob's] modest Southern upbringing, his bizarre phobias, his life, his loves . . . and, of course, his movie career.” And, as Kinky has often said, “the Kinkster will sign anything but bad legislation.”

    SPRING TOUR WITH ORIGINAL KEYBOARDIST MATT MCDONALD


    Perpetual Groove

    Genre-bending improv-rock band Perpetual Groove are back on the road and are proud to announce the PGroove v. 2.012 spring tour. Rejoining the collective is original keyboardist, Matt McDonald. The band will celebrate the reunion of McDonald to the group with a busy east coast touring schedule followed by dates to kick off the summer festival season.

    McDonald left the collective in 2008 to focus on his growing family. He returns with fresh enthusiasm after a more than three-year sabbatical. “It’s quite obvious that the four of us are meant to be making music again together as Perpetual Groove,” comments McDonald. “This is not a return to a previous sound or way of doing things, this is a new era for all of us.”
