Katie Eastburn returns to Monkeytown with "B'way Tomorrow", 4 evenings of post-apocalyptic cabaret soul classics for the uncertain future of mankind. The tension in her songs arises from the way the pounding undertow of piano plays against the lilting sweetness of Katie's voice, making for a performance that is bleary-eyed but hopeful in the face of desolation and despair.

Katie Eastburn is a multifaceted performer who writes, records and performs as one half of the low fidelity pop staples Young People, with full-length albums released on 5rc, Dimmak, and Too Pure. She dances and choreographs in the legendary Leg & Pants Dans Theeatre, a scrappy bunch of hardcore dancers who have toured like a rock band since 2002 with such groups as Deerhoof, Erase Errata, The Thrones, and The Blow. In 2006, Kill Rock Stars released her DVD, "Starter Set", a project combining the best rock bands and dancers currently out there.

Tonight she presents new songs, old songs, and the occasional YP tune accompanied only by what her 4 limbs can produce on piano & percussive elements.

On November 13 and 27, Katie will be joined by Nick Hallett. Nick is a musician and avid curator, originator of the band PLANTAINS, and hard at work on writing his first musical.
