AN EVENING WITH
JACK TERRICLOTH:
“The Midnight Formals”
May 1, 8, 15, and 22 @ Midnight
Joe’s Pub
www.joespub.com

A sure bet for those seeking a dash of midnight mayhem, the infamously conspiratorial Jack Terricloth, frontman of The World/Inferno Friendship Society and author of “The Collected Cloth,” brings the NYC premiere of his intimate evening of punk-noir and song featuring multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Sandra Malak to the Pub for four rounds only. A tear through tales and tunes of the then and now, and unknown gems to boot, these rare evenings provide a one-time glimpse into what dwells in the mind of this beloved anarchist. Pick a midnight, any midnight, and dress appropriately, dammit.

Get your tickets now.
