Heads up, Colorado. Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad are coming back to town Saturday nightand you know what that means. Trouble.
The three bad girls fought their way to Lannie’s Clocktower Cabaret last winter in a blizzard. Their trip from Breck to Denver took seven hours in a van and is described by Susannah Perlman, the group’s ringleader, as “a mix of ‘The Little Engine Who Could’ and ‘Exodus’ with a dash of the Donner party.”
At this return visit to Lannie’s, the bad girls join up with Good for the Jews, a two-man act that used to compete with the bad girls for Christmas Eve shows in NYC. Now they are one big happy family.
Saturday is Purim, says Perl man, “another Jewish holiday where they tried to kill us, and they didn’t, so we eat.” BYOH: Bring your own hamantasch en.
“You don’t have to be Jewish to love this show,” Perlman promises. “Last time we were in Moab, I think we outnumbered the Jews in the audience. But they got it. We have East Coast humor with women taking some of their clothes off, so what’s not to like?”
They return to Moab on March 5 in a tour taking them to Breck, Steamboat Springs, Boulder, Aspen, Albuquerque, Taos, Santa Fe and Vail.
“It’s a schlep,” says Perlman.
Buffalos.
There was only one Buffalo Bill — and he’s buried on Lookout Mountain at the fittingly titled Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave.
His birthday party comes down from noon to 3 p.m. Sunday. To celebrate, about 50 Buffalo Bill re-enactors will show up. That’s a lot of BBs.
After you stop rubbing your eyes, you can always compete in the buffalo-chip tossing contest.
Music men.
Hot off the road with appearances on Letterman and “Ellen,” local sensation Matt Morris filled the Bluebird on Thursday night — and he’s playing for free at 6:30 tonight at Twist & Shout.
