CHING CHONG SONG (NYC) // is Julia LaMendola (vocal, ukulele, singing saw), Dan Gower (vocal,piano ) and sometime-collaborator Susan Hwang (accordion).
...
They are an inimitable Brooklyn-based band that has been astounding audiences for five years. Ching Chong Song gracefully straddles the line between burlesque and performance art before soaring high above genre constraints and resting firmly in the realm of classic entertainment. In a historical sense there music is more clearly rooted in the New York/German cabaret tradition. It is lyrically and musically at once dark, hilarious and theatrical. In candid and unapologetic fashion, the band addresses audiences with melodic singing, unconventional instrumentation and the fearless energy of pure talent. This hardworking and oft-touring band plays everywhere, from the underground New York scene to prestigious clubs throughout the U.S. and Europe.

They are delighted to be called "...a genuine New York oddity."

Julie Mendola is also a member of the Obie award winning NATURE THEATER OF OKLAHOMA company and is performing in the company's ten-part production of Life and Times. She has also performed at South By Southwest, Art Basel, Primavera Sound Festival, Danube Festival, and other major music festivals.

Dan Gower grew up playing piano in Spokane, Washington. To accompany after dinner family discussions, he would slip away from the dining room table and compose little ditties or improvise for hours. He also studied classical music until the pull of rock and roll became too much. Dan found himself in Santa Fe, New Mexico in a progressive BFA music program at The College of Santa Fe. There, he learned the importance of breaking away from the compositional impositions of previous centuries while performing in multiple ensembles and bands playing original music. When he moved to New York City four years ago, he played synths with indie-heart-throb band Bravo Silva until he met Julie and the rest is his+herstory.

MOLLY NILSSON (Swe/Bln) // The magical melodies and touchingly clever lyrics of Molly Nilsson (who also goes by the name formerly known as White Bread!), grow on you as you find yourself listening to them over and over again. With her one-woman-show, this escaped Swede brings her nostalgic pop, on a journey through life and death, with love and trouble, to a No Mans Land, on the border between reality and dream.
