Live Music
Animus
Fri., Sept. 14, 9:30pm. Free. With Heather Henderson, Dana Snyder + Variety Cabaret. Club Polaris, 460 N. Ninth St. 215.413.1318. www.livearts-fringe.org
The Philly Fringe’s Late Night Cabaret is decadent and depraved.
For years the Cabaret has served as an initiation for those interested in the city’s esoteric arts community. It’s little wonder that Animus—a collective of classically trained prodigious world musicians—score the fest’s last weekend waltz, regaling festivalgoers with the sounds of Ghana, Egypt, India and all places between.
Tack on the fact that Dana Snyder—the voice behind Master Shake from Aqua Teen Hunger Force—is hosting Friday’s festivities, and the penultimate Cabaret approaches epic proportions.
Imagine Shake introducing Animus with his typical brand of misinformation: “Kids are comin’ to see the Black Mountain Scorpion Hoedown Bluegrass Experience Gang, featuring Zakk Wylde on washtub bass. Zakk, did we not do the soundcheck?” (Joshua Valocchi)
