Effi Briest: the power of three
So a seven-woman psych troupe, a bunch of electro-jam band dudes and um, Celebration walk into the Bowery Ballroom… SUCH a punch line, right? Effi Briest and Celebration playing a show together, well sure; they have the same management, after all, and they both throw a lush battery of organic [...]

The B-52’s Announce First New Record in 16 Years
