21 Dec 2009 19:30 Cameo Gallery! Brooklyn, New York, New York Supercute show with Pendulum Swings (Jason's new band) are playing at Cameo. Starts at 7:30 SUPERCUTE on at 8 sharp! 5 bucks!!




Location: Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Bands: Supercute!
Show time: 8 PM
Venue: Cameo Gallery
Food: SEA
Drink: Zablozki’s
Miscellaneous: Hugs


Rachel Trachtenberg, daughter and drummer of The Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players strikes out on her own with her band Supercute!. Think about all the normal things a teen girl thinks about and add some vocals, a uke and some keyboards, and there you have it. Joining them are The Pendulum Swings, The Mini Pearls, and Boom Chick. Just as much fun as any show, SEA is one BIG Thai restaurant. Big enough to have a pool surrounded by tables as a giant Buddha stands above it. Luckily, the food is really great. Offering traditional Pad Thai ($7) to more involved dishes like the Mummy Fish ($14). On N6th, a street full of bars and restaurants, Zablozki’s is the local bar of the bunch, with a pool table and a friendly atmosphere and 12 beers on tap. What looks like some dark basement with tables and some couches, Hugs will end up being a dance party with an awkward blend of music genres that you will grow to love quickly.

Murray Hill . . . on ice! Abrons Arts Center
466 Grand St.
New York, NY

Schmaltzy comic Murray Hill gets imaginative this holiday season for his annual pageant, A Murray Little Christmas. The show becomes a road trip gone awry when Murray loads his performer friends into a Winnebago headed for his beloved homeland, the Catskills—without checking the fuel gauge. When they run of out gas, they have to celebrate Christmas right there in the Borscht Belt's surrounding woods. The gang takes advantage of the situation by doing The Nutcracker on ice—"with tights and everything," says Hill. Those scantily clad folks include burlesquer Dirty Martini, the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players, Bridget Everett, and Moisty the Snowman.

What happens when the youngest member of the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players turns 16? The "action-packed, hole in one, roller-skating, hula-hooping, siren-singing, cross-dressing, fluid-swapping, elf-ing, belly-aching, eye candy show of the year" with Rev Jen, Care Bears on Fire, Andrew Katz, Corn Mo, Reggie Watts, Lloyd Floyd, Mike Amato, Rob Shapiro, Ching Chong Song, Cameron Hull, host Rosie Rebel and more.

Review from here
Rachel Trachtenburg, of the band Supercute! and the The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players, celebrated her sixteenth birthday this past Sunday at the House of Yes in Brooklyn.










If you can imagine an eccentric, old time variety radio show come to life on stage, that's basically what the party was like, tuned up a few notches. There were musicians, comics, burlesque, court jesters, animals, a photo booth from Dave Matthews Walter, and so much more. Photos taken that evening in the photo booth are online here. Infamous New York City Art Stars Reverend Jen, Mike Amato, Murray Hill, Daniella Day, Jessica Delfino and others were in attendance; many performed on stage in Rachel's honor. Videographers from MTV were also flitting about, (wha??) shooting video for what could be a new reality series about Rachel and the band Supercute. Kids these days, they get famous so quick.

Wish I had a birthday party like that.

A few more photos from the evening snapped by NYC The Blog are below. Video of the evening, including performance by Supercute, will be forthcoming.
