Kate's Mirror is the fine line between medication and vanity
3 piece band experimenting in Portland, Oregon.
"Kate's Mirror's brand-new 'In Use' recording is one of the most pleasant local music surprises of the year, but if that wasn't enough of a call to action for you, their rare live performances will feature back projections, rare slide shows, and other "captivating visual content."'

Video documentation of a performance piece by my friend Nate Kassel who rode around on his bike slapping high-fives to people who were trying to hail taxi cabs in NYC. Enjoy!

We have 2 great shows coming up. Hope you can make it out! ~~Thanks. C ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Friday, Feb. 6th - FREE! The Twilight Room - 5242 N. Lombard 3 Full sets of Pan-ian goodness! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Friday, Feb. 13th - FREE! The Kenton Club - 2025 N Kilpatrick St. with Lucky Tigers and Right On John ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This Thursday At the Goodfoot (2845 SE Stark) you need to show up at 10 PM with 7 bucks (a $5 & 2x $1's'll do.) and you will get to check out PUBLISH the QUEST, JOINT VENTURE &THE MANIMALS. The Manimal's are my roommates band, they have reconfigured their line-up & sound and their set is gonna be off the hook, and afterwards they'll totally be down for you buying them a beverage. If you like funk, soul, hip-hop, or just plain feel good music this show is a must. If you can't make it, you're a bum. If you can make it, you're a champion! So in conclusion you must attend this event to have a good time Thursday. If you decline to come, don't hold me responsible for you stubbing your toe, getting stung by a bee, burning the roof of your mouth on pizza, getting a red hand on a killer high five, bonking your head under the dinner table, getting hit by a car, struck by lightning, horned by a bull, or having faulty breaks and driving your car off a cliff.
This is going to an amazing show and one our last before we hiberanate to to make the next record a full length we will be playing from at this show. PLease come and hang out with us.
Kate's Mirror, we are having a surprise party for you with all your favorites.......a gothic puppet show with bloody hobo puppet sex and drunk bird juggling and homemade explosives and a mime that shouts at people for being not cute and a tragic magic show and a wet pants contest and a battle off between a robot hooker (everyone loves robot sex)and an out of work wizard who got busted for selling wine coolers to minors and some really super kick ass music. So act really surprised when the homeless magician/male erotic dancer jumps out of the cake and dirty dances with you!
Brother duden, do me a favor: go to Tila Tequila's site and listen to the "Fuck Ya Man" trak. It is sooo shitty good and her biting-ass, no-talent style is a perfect reference for a professor of pop-culture.
