Kabbalah Playing Live @ Moe's Alley June 10th!

Hey Y'all! Oy-Dog here. I wanted to let y'all know that I just found out that the amazing French Yiddish Hip-Hop group Kabbalah will be playing at Moe's Alley right here in Santa Cruz on June 10th, which is a Sunday. I've played them on my show before and plan to play them much over the next couple of weeks so you can hear their sound. It is quite a unique groove that blends world music, rock, hip-hop and Yiddish old-timey sentiment. They are unlike anything that I've ever heard before. I'll be there at the show, so come on down if U R local and say "Hi!" to find out more about the event, czech out the facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/events/239776186124274/ you can also check out the info here: http://moesalley.com/artist.php?id=1441&artist=Kabbalah

Annual Spring Pledge Drive!

Hey, peeps.

Oy-Dog here...shalom! Just a reminder that KZSC's annual spring pledge drive is coming up this Saturday, March 3rd. Please call and make a pledge/donation to kzsc during my show if you can. Any amount is great. I will be giving out awesome thank you gifts to those who pledge, and you will be letting the powers that be at KZSC know that "Muzikal Jewz" means something to you, and perhaps they'll keep me on the air just a little bit longer as a result! Most importantly, you will be supporting one of the last indie public music radio stations in the immediate area by helping us raise the funds to keep broadcasting to you lovely people!

So call 831-459-4036 or 831-459-2811 from 4-6pm, March 3rd, 2012, and make a pledge! You can also pledge online anytime at kzsc.org (just make sure to let them know which show you are pledging on behalf of!)

Annual Hanukkah show Next Tuesday December 27th!!!

Hey y'all!

Oy-Dog here. Today, December 20th and next Tuesday December 27th are both "Muzikal Jewz" holiday shows. Today is the "Chrismukkah" show. We'll be spinnin' some great hanukkah tunes (since tonight is the first night of hanukkah!!!) as well as some Jewish Christmas tunes (you'll just have to listen to understand this), and there are some fun surprises in store for a few loyal, lucky listeners. Next Tuesday is the 4th annual Hanukkah show. Some of my favorite hanukkah tunes will be played, and there are even more surprises in store!

Traditionally, these have been some of the most popular and fun "Muzikal Jewz" shows of the year, so you don't want to miss them. If you're not in the holiday spirit yet, they'll surely get you there!

Shalom,


Oy-Dog.

Elizabeth Torres and Scott Stobbe Live on "Muzikal Jewz," December 13th

Hey, Y'all!

Oy-Dog here.

Anyhow, I'd like to announce that Elizabeth Torres and Scott Stobbe will be doing a live in-studio performance on the "Muzikal Jewz" show on Tuesday, December 13th. They will also be playing LIVE tonight at the Backstage Lounge in Santa Cruz 11/30, from 7:30-9:30 pm. Tickets are VERY affordable. Check out the description below:


Elizabeth Torres & Scott Stobbe
Weaving Balkan and klezmer tunes with gypsy jazz and swing, Elizabeth Torres and Scott Stobbe’s eclectic musical offering will cast a spell over the Backstage Lounge come Wednesday (tonight!). Through his work with local avant-rock outfit Zdrastvootie, and gypsy jazz troupe The Underscore Orkestra, Stobbe has developed a refined command over the guitar, which he carefully plucks alongside Torres’ soaring soprano sax to create dream-like soundscapes. INFO: 7:30-9:30 p.m., November 30th, at the Backstage Lounge, 1209 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. 469-9900.

They will also be performing live on ‘muzikal jewz’ in two weeks on December 13th as well.

Tikva Records Store in Downtown SF in December!

Hey, y'all, Oy-Dog here.

There is a cool record store/exhibit happening in the Mission district of SF for the entire month of December. The shop celebrates Jewish music released on Tikva records, a very prominent Jewish American record label in the 20th Century. See below for further exciting info!

Tikva records store is located in downtown san francisco on the corner of mission and bernal. More like a ‘jewish record shop exhibit,’ it will be in town for the entire month of December. Vintage Jewish records line the walls and it is reminiscent of the ‘jews on vinyl’ exhibit by Josh Kuhn that was featured at the SF Jewish Museum and other places last year. Records such as johnny Mathis’ “Kol Nidre” and Fred Katz’s trippy ‘Folk Songs for far out folks” line the walls. One record in particular has been recently released by the idehlson society for Jewish music preservation, and will be featured there as well. It is called ‘songs for the Jewish American jet set” and features various tracks from tikva records, a Jewish American record label the was in business from 1950-73, and was known as the “Jewish Motown.” Anyhow, there are several events taking place at this jewish record store/art exhibit, which I’ll tell you about briefly.

on December 1st: Official opening party for the store.

December 2nd: Los Lobos band member, and only Jewish member, Steve Berlin will original-score an silent Russian film.

December 7th: Indie Jewish rock band Fool’s Gold will do a live in-store performance to celebrate the release of their latest album, “Leave No Trace.”

December 8th: The Burton Sisters, a jewish duo, will do a live performance for the second time in the last five decades.

December 10th: Members of Dengue Fever will perform in-store.

Jeremiah Lockwood of the Sway Machinery will play at some point as well.

There are plenty more events planned as well as channukah approaches, so stay tuned for that.

for more information, check out the idehlson society’s website, http://idelsohnsociety.com/.

Also, now showing at the Contemporary Jewish Museum in Downtown SF-- Black Sabbath: The Secret Musical History of Black-Jewish Relations, a musical journey through a unique slice of recording history–the Black-Jewish musical encounter from the 1930s to the 1960s. On exhibit currently until february 28th, 2012 at the contemporary jewish museum in downtown san francisco on 736 mission street. For further information, you can check out http://thecjm.org or call 415-655-7800

That's it for now!

Shalom.
