Zen for Primates
Caffe Lena
Saratoga Springs, NY
Zen for Primates is a highly entertaining, strange and beautiful cabaret ensemble from Bethlehem, PA. The five-piece band offers brilliant, sardonic vocals by T. Roth ("T. Roth is a deliciously original weapon!" - Rolling Stone) backed by a surprisingly delicate amalgam of pop, classical, world, rock, blues and jazz music, for a sound that has left critics baffled yet raving for years.
Instrumentally they are two violins, cello, saxophone and electric guitar. In addition to some surprising cover material, their usual themes include drinking, smoking, living, dying, perfection, sheepherding, indecision, insanity and Italian food. They are humorous-in the driest, most insinuating way-but with such redolence of truth about the way we are that one is left not only laughing, but sighing.
