New York's own soul-punk orchestra, the WORLD/INFERNO Friendship Society,
is blazing from Eastern Europe to the West Coast this summer to perform their red-eyed showtunes to the swarming punk-rock masses.
At eight pieces – wailing drums, three horns, two guitars, way too many teeth, a piano, and a singer soaked with wit, charisma, and humor – their songs so sweet and quicksilver beat promise to put you smack in the middle of the vaudeville circus you’ve always wished your life could be. The band’s tight musicianship and penchant for brewing up high-energy dance numbers are rooted in punk, but manifest themselves with flashes of Count Basie, Wilson Pickett, The Pogues, and Little Richard all out on a night-long bender.
THE WORLD/INFERNO is coming to your town! Full-time fighting friends to the friendless, the most successful scourge to the oppressors since Willie Sutton, they're riding a wave of sumptuous red wine straight into your hearts. Even if they have to buy the drinks themselves, they'll do it. Come see the circus play the dirty rock club, one night only! Come and waltz with the one you love.
“It's Halloween, it's 1933, we're all in Blade Runner, and the drinks are on the house. You have no excuse not to come out unless it is that you are a jerk. I don't think you're a jerk, I'll see you there...”

Amazing Hallowmas!!! Jack, you're surprisingly light. I stopped you from falling off the stage at the end of Pumpkin Time, and lifted you up on stage to crowd surf during Weimar. Thanks for the memories
An absolutely wonderful show at the Grand Ball room tonight! The venue was the perfect location for you guys, hope you had as wonderful a night as I did!
