Joe McGinty
is a well known NYC musician who was worked with Ryan Adams, Jesse Malin, Ronnie Spector, the Psychedelic Furs and many others. He is also the founder of Loser's Lounge, the ongoing tribute series where local musicians pay homage to pop icons of the past. He formed Circuit Parade in the beginning of 2007 to explore the worlds of pop songwriting, experimental electronics and free improvisation.

Circuit Parade's all-star lineup features Mike McGinnis (Four Bags, Robbie Coltrane) on woodwinds, Julia Kent (Antony and the Johnsons) on cello and Leon Dewan (Dewanatron, Flaming Fire) on Dewanatron (his homemade synthesizers).


The evening will feature a special short film/music video, "Million Dollar Mermaid" filmed by his cousin Edward McGinty, which is a loving tribute to Coney Island. It is also the release party for "Million Dollar Mermaid" the debut recording of Circuit Parade, mixed by Bryce Goggin (Pavement, Joan as Policewoman).

Also on the bill is Unicornicopia. Musician/Playwright/Performance Artist Natalie Weiss has been performing as Unicornicopia since 2001. This experimental pop project has manifested itself as a rock band, a musical with puppets and now as a one woman emotional sound sculpture. Unicornicopia has collaborated with prominent musicians and producers such as Joe McGinty of the Psychedelic Furs, Ben Bromely of Fischerspooner, Jason McMahon of Skeletons and the Kings of all Cities, Travis Stewart of Machinedrum and Matthew Kamm of Dodger. She is in the final stages of mixing the E.P. "Grace. You're a dear." - produced by the excellent Joe McGinty.
