Oranges ROCK the Seder Plate (Music):
Girls in Trouble, Stereo Sinai & Naomi Less
4/4/10 - 3pm, 2:30 doors all ages, $12 / $15
BooCoo Culutral Center
1823 W. Church Street (at Dodge), Evanston
(Purple Line Dempster, Street Parking)
The addition of an Orange to many Seder plates symbolizes those whmo for centuries were left out of participation in Jewish ritual
life- namely women. This Pesach, KFAR showcases three powerhouse female performers who will rock your matzahs.
Girls in Trouble
Led by violin-looper and singer Alicia Jo Rabins, Girls in trouble combines mysticism, a looping pedal, ancient women's tales and
poetry to make beautiful songs about love & leprosy. The material draws on Rabins' study at Pardes while playing in rock clubs at
night. Alicia is also a member of Golem.
Stereo Sinai
Stereo Sinai is the Good Book like you've never heard it before. Mixing conservation with innovation, Miriam Broussaeu and Alan
Sufrin lend renewed relevance to ancient texts with their "Biblegum Pop."
Naomi Less
This Jewish Chick Rocker delivers an edgy-pop rock show with soulful melodies and tribal lyrics. Naomi has dedicated her life to
music that promotes full inclusion of un-objectified women. She founded, Jewish Chicks Rock to inspire girls to pick up instruments
and express themselves through rock music. Naomi is a founding member of Storahtelling and is its Director of Education and
Training.
