  • Bio

    .. Imagine Kurt Weill chewing sausages with the Residents underneath the Williamsburg Bridge while watching a Russian wedding dance, and you have the something akin to Brooklyn’s one-of-a-kind post-cabaret, punk chamber ensemble, Barbez. Provoked by such musics as Slavic folksong, Argentine tango, post-war classical, and pre-MTV punk, Barbez wrings these disparate worlds into the band’s own unique soundscape. .. .. ..The Black Forest. The great experimental director John Jesurun made our first video for us. This is a song from the new album....... .. .. .. .. .. ..
