Performing with violinist Cornelius Dufallo, opening for The Fancy

Integrating affection, honesty, and humor into every song, The Fancy is a stand out in the Brooklyn indie rock scene. Their sound manages to be both eccentric and accessible, featuring atypical instrumentation within an equally unique song-writing setting. They bring this individual style and energy to their Joe’s Pub debut on May 9th, 2010. Classically trained musicians with a love for popular forms, the Fancy merges chamber music and pop sensibilities in their self-titled EP. This 5-track EP overflows with vocal harmony, full-band counterpoint, thick orchestral textures, and tongue-in-cheek lyricism. This special evening will provide a kick-off to the iTunes release of this EP and will feature an opening performance by Corey Dargel, Cornelius Dufallo and a digital looper.
