Art In General Blow Out & The World Premiere of TELL IT TO MY PRETTY FACE


We blew the roof off Art In General's 3rd Annual Saturday Night Party, which wasn't easy with subterranean brick vaulted ceilings in a club that was once known as the MAN HOLE in the 1970's. The former den of hot, horny naked Bears swinging appendages to Diana Ross saw new life with 200 hungry fans packed like meat into the the Meat Packing District's brand new Bunker Club.

Many thanks to the folks at Art In General for giving us the opportunity to host their very important fundraiser this year. We are two octaves closer to establishing KARAOKE as the hottest new art-craze in New York City. Special thanks to our special guests and karaoke pioneers Ben Coonley who premiered a hand-raising video for Taio Cruz's Dynamite, June Fagley who rocked two diva classics, Baby Mama (aka Jeanine Oleson) who selflessly re-lived the birth of our former baby with Hold On, and Michael O'Niel who brought us into A Whole New World with a video animated by Danny Balgley!

Extra special thanks to KINHO KARSYN, the brilliant cartoonista from Brazil who animated our latest video - and to AVA OMEGA JARDEN who tirelessly produced the brilliant track! Without further ado, the internet premiere of TELL IT TO MY PRETTY FACE:



The entire event was photographed by Julian Mackler Studios, the entire album can be seen here.
