I've just gotten back from California. This blog has been dead for a while, no? I may just send it on it's way cross the Lethe. But here's a fun image for the new Kiki & Herb show that will be going up soon. More info about it below. I saw their Christmas show in March (they were in London during Xmas) and it was pretty fab. Better than the revolution in Rock that's apparently happening in Williamsburg, meiner Meinung nach (i.e. IMHO). Justin Bond (Kiki) has done work with everyone from the Boredoms to Stephen Merritt (I think), and has a solo show a la Ute Lemper (I think).

“The best thing to happen to New York nightlife since Sound Factory!”
-- Time Out New York
“Kiki & Herb sings the blues with a chaser of rock, pop and pure
pathos!”
-- Next
Kiki (created and played by Justin Bond) is a brash, boozy septuagenarian chanteuse with a bruising vocal style and the ability to tell a story as few can. Herb (created and played by Kenny Mellman) is the shy, stalwart, long-time accompanist, who shows that still waters really do run deep as he periodically pounds the keys with a passion and vengeance all his own.
