On the 11th of this September you will once again find me onstage in Alphabet City, USA. I will be hosting another triple bill that you might best wish to avoid. Obviously I can't force you to stay at home but should you decide to venture down to the corner of Ninth St. and Avenue C you can't say that you weren't warned.

And now a few choice words about the evening's entertainers:
8:00pm Robert Rial
www.myspace.com/robertrialandbakelite78
Mr. Rial turned up in Chicago sometime around the turn of the century with a bullhorn and a banjo and some strange, antique notions about plastic. He has since been chased west to Seattle where he's been foisting his routine on the citizens of the Pacific coast. Perhaps realizing that he has no further west to run, he's decided to try his luck in old New York. Consider yourself warned.

I'm in the awkward position of having nothing new to offer you. I was hoping to have new songs about Buffalo Bill, Busby Berkley, Brigham Young and Buzz Aldren, but I just couldn't get my shit together. Maybe I'll try playing the banjo while wearing boxing gloves! That's new...I bet you'd fall for that! Problem solved. Now who's gonna let me borrow some boxing gloves?
10:00pm Pinataland
www.pinataland.com
Pinataland is a gimmick. They might hide behind pretentious declarations of "grand American orchestration", and "our collective unconscious", but I've seen them and it's just a gimmick! If you like songs about homicidal Mormons, lovelorn astronauts, elephant electrocutions and telegraph hoaxes, then this is probably just the sort of thing you'd go for. But I caution the rest of you not to get taken in. They may have a tuba, but John Philip Sousa this is not!
Please contact me directly with your questions and concerns. I suppose I'll see you downtown.
Yours Cordially,
Mr. Eller

Curtis Eller is a banjo player, songwriter and rock & roll singer. A twenty-year show business veteran, Eller and his band The American Circus have developed a devoted international following based on dynamic, highly physical stage performances and an extensive catalog of curious phonographic recordings. The iconoclastic musician has spent more than a decade relentlessly touring the club, theatre and festival stages of a dozen countries in North America and Europe. Eller is a gifted and prolific songwriter who's banjo-driven songs describe a dreamlike vision of American history where all points in time have collapsed into one. The American Circus is diligently at work on a new full-length album on which they have augmented their indelicate, rock & roll rhythms with a tempestuous cloud of horns and an graceless choir of backsliders in their quest to bring Eller's historically evocative compositions to vivid, cinematic life.
