Fishtank Ensemble w/ Dr Caterwauls Cadre of Clairvoyant Claptraps 8/11/11 Cafe 9

Its been way to long since the last entry of Cafe 9. DCCCC with cello, accordion, fiddle, banjo, and drums plucked and harmonized their way through world folk songs and chants. The homemade looking banjo came out for a gypsy inflected take on London Calling. Fishtank Ensemble from LA took the stage late. Fiddle, standup bass, flamenco guitar, and female lead vocals with saw. Thats right, this woman played an excellent saw (youtube them). Truly a family affair, the woman's 4-yr old boy hung out on stage as well, gypsy tradition? Folk songs from Turkey, Greece and Romania , and France filled the set. The singer even growled her way through Fever. Mildly revamped Cafe 9 had a great painting of Captain Beefheart which seems fitting of the venue.
