I'm very excited to be opening for electronic music pioneer Jean-Jacques Perrey and his collaborator Dana Countryman. Please check out this show at this exciting new venue!
thanks,
Joe McGinty
Jean-Jacques Perrey made some groundbreaking Moog LPs in the 60s ("Moog Indigo", "The Amazing New Electronic Sound of Jean-Jacques Perrey) on his own and also with Gershon Kingsley ("The In Sound From Way Out". His music has been sampled by The Beastie Boys, Gangstarr, A Tribe Called Quest and many others. Walt Disney used his "Baroque Hoedown" for the Main Street Electrical Parade, and "The Savers" is best known as the theme for TV game show "The Joker's Wild". Perrey was determined to take electronic music out of academia and into pop culture, and is still going stong at 79 years old with a new Perrey/Countryman release "Destination Space". Perrey and Countryman make a rare concert appearance in New York at Le Poisson Rouge on Oct. 1.
Opening the show is Circuit Parade, Joe McGinty's experimental/improvisational electronic pop project. Circuit Parade features Mike McGinnis on woodwinds, Eleanor Norton on cello and Leon Dewan on his homemade analog synthesizers.
Circuit Parade will be joined by Natalie Weiss of Unicornicopia, Dave Amels and thereminist Dorit Chrysler for a special mini-tribute to Jean-Jacques Perrey.
Certainly a concert not to be missed!
