Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
Since the British Invasion, Americans have been such suckers for any artsy music from overseas. Because of this, we imagine that Caspian Hat Dance – a Rotterdam, Netherlands-based band that plays traditional Gypsy, klezmer, and “misbehaved village wedding” music – will attract a mighty following when they perform at The Lost Leaf, 914 North Fifth Street. Personally, they remind us a little bit of Frenchman Yann Tiersen (headmaster of the Amélie soundtrack) with some DeVotchKa (who aren’t even foreigners, but might as well be) thrown in for good measure.
