"America's Best Lounge Act". Sexy and outrageous rock & roll cabaret driven home by a misguided "international pop star, lover" whose provocative lyrics flaunt his lifestyle of extremes and boast of his luxuriously degenerate exploits. www.renerisque.com
Maxi Geil! and PlayColt entertain art lovers with songs of twisted amorousness and willfully perverse self-obsession. Famous for their rock-opera "The Ballad of Bad Orpheus" (the MoMa will be screening it on Nov. 25 as part of their Mediascope series) and the porn musical extravaganza "Nausea II" (currently in production), Maxi Geil! (Geman translation: super horny) and his kicking band PlayColt turn their handsomely aristocratic miens from the adulation of the art world to the Olympus of show business. The sextet is returning to Joe's Pub with the incomparable rock stylings of art überstar Maxi Geil!. Maxi Geil!'s music is dark and singable, complex and catchy, flashy and inappropriate. Likened to early Roxy Music, Magazine and Gang of Four, Maxi Geil! & PlayColt have been embraced by art's leading lights and pop's biggest trendsetters.
