Faun Fables
"Oakland's Faun Fables aren't really a folk group, but there's no adequate name for the music Dawn [McCarthy] and Nils [Frykdahl] make together, music that is so total, otherworldy, and heretical a vision of traditional music that it can only be compared to THE RESIDENTS' version of rock 'n roll. Frykdahl's instrumental virtuosity is strictly in the service of making every sound you've ever heard unfamiliar. This band has the uncanny ability to blow through original songs, ancient ballads and European avant garde numbers in a set without a single note seeming out of place. Even if you don't like traditional music, avant garde music, or music at all, you still need to hear McCarthy's voice, which will kill you dead." - LA WEEKLY (Oliver Hall) Jan. 05

Opening Act:
The Lord of the Yum Yum
"...Joining Deacon on this crowded bill is a loony genius from our neck of the woods: church-choir director, elementary-school music teacher, and Herc. front man Paul Velat, performing as his ruffly-tuxedoed alter ego the LORD OF THE YUM-YUM. With only his voice and pedal-triggered sampler he creates foot-stompin' gibberish renditions of, say, "Flight of the Bumblebee" or the famous cancan from Jacques Offenbach's Orpheus in the Underworld, complete with bug-eyed beatboxing and what sometimes sounds like a dozen layers of growling, crooning, and shrieking. Last time I saw him play he frantically searched the room for something to drum on, located a cardboard box, and dumped its contents--shredded paper and an inner tube--over his head. Then he banged on it like a bongo until it flattened while delivering a sort of Tuvan-throat-singing-meets-Delta-blues version of Bizet's Carmen overture with a bit of Blondie's "Call Me" stuck in the middle..."

"A highlight of Fountain Square and one of the city's most popular nightspots. A throwback in all the best possible ways, the White Rabbit Cabaret is more speakeasy than ultra-lounge, which fits just fine with the retro/rockabilly vibe Fountain Square is known for. With a superb line-up of live music and performances from sultry burlesque to banjo..."
