Music | JEWMONGOUS' PASSOVER EXTRAVAGANZA!
Jewmongous is "part of a new breed of Jewish hipster" that is "written for a generation of fully assimilated Jews who grew up on punk rock and 'South Park,'" or, as some might say, "the bastard love child Tenacious D and Fiddler on the Roof never had." It is the colicky, uncircumcised brain child of Sean Altman: the golden-voiced song-writing wiz and former leader/founder of Rockapella (of "Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?" TV fame). Jewmongous' debut album Taller Than Jesus includes the fractured Passover story song "They Tried to Kill Us (We Survived, Let's Eat)", which was featured on NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross; the ska-inflected "What the Hell is Simchas Torah?"; the cowboy romp "Long-Tongue Shloime"; the dysfunctional Bar Mitzvah anthem "Today I Am A Man"; and many more. You don't have to be Jewish to like it - but it couldn't hurt. www.92YTribeca.org/Music
