Murder Ballads

By Dan

A cold, autumn wind blows across Berkeley in the night as peace and love fade into the shadows and a darker, more sinister side of ourselves bubbles to the surface. What was
that movement in the corner of your eye that slipped away before you could turn your head?  There are footsteps that echo yours but stop just as you do. The time is nigh for
murder and despair at the: MURDER BALLADS, tomorrow!

A classic, American event featuring songs of murder, death and despair. A good time will be had by all (well almost all) featuring:

Bob Harp

The Hollyhocks

The Daisy Pushers (Joni Davis and Val Esway) 

The Peculiar Pretzelmen

Junior Showmanship

Loretta Lynch

Joe Rut

Ash Reiter

The Happy Clams

5 Cent Coffee

Harlan Hollander

Geoff Pond

Mc'd by the Spider-Ridden Woman.

Starry Plough Sixth Annual Murder Ballads Bash, 9 p.m., Oct. 27, $8, 3101 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley, (510) 841-2082.
