"with Weba Garretson as an arresting, latter-day Lotte Lenya, the songs - sour and sensuous - seem just about perfect for our own times" Los Angeles Times
Bio / Background
.....about the Eastside Sinfonietta:
Recognizing a natural Brechtian in singer Weba Garretson, the organizers of the Brecht Centennial asked her to participate. Garretson didn't look to the classical community to staff the Eastside Sinfonietta; instead she dug into her own post-punk,
street-art back yard.
Bassist Ralph Gorodetsky had teamed with Garretson before, as well as thrashing and jazzing in club bands such as Universal Congress Of. Joseph Berardi had played with practically everyone in town, from the Fibonaccis to Stan Ridgway and Rufus Wainwright -- but usually as a percussionist; here he settled behind the vibraphone and the orcoa, a kind of accordion built like a suitcase. Drummer Jason Payne was a former member of the Brit industrial-techno group Nitzer Ebb, a special favorite of Marilyn Manson. Tracy Wannomae had blown woodwinds with poppers Macy Gray and jazzbos Brad Mehldau.
