Hello Citizens of Sock Puppet Interest (both general and specific),

Two sock puppet-related events are hurtling towards Manhattan in a sleigh driven by burly, forsaken, and untimely elves…
FIRSTLY:
Did you miss the display of Marty’s newest Sock Puppet Portraits at Brooklyn’s Sputnik? Do you need to see it more? The show is moving to Manhattan! (cue “Movin’ on Up”).

The Tank
354 W 45th St
New York, NY 10036
tanknyc.org

Opening Reception: May 14 at 6:30pm

Come for the Opening reception and stick around for the Tank’s amazing Puppet Series, Puppet Playhouse (or just hang out and have some beers, you don’t have to go to Puppet Playhouse). If you do go to Puppet Playhouse, you should know that Marty doesn’t have any work in it. But you should also know that it’s awesome – puppeteers interpreting modern musicians, this month featuring the Magnetic Fields.

THIS show at the Tank foreshadows ANOTHER SHOW AT THE TANK…
A SOCK PUPPET (and human) ROCK SHOW!
Uncle Monsterface PREMIERES the theatrical debut of their song
MASHED POTATO vs VAMPIRE!
at THE TANK
June 6, 2009 at 7pm!

Upcoming Shows=Jersey, Boston (as part of BUFF!), and new Marty puppet Portrait Premiere in Bklyn!

You heard it here first! We are playing a full set in Boston for the first time in a long time. Weirdly, this is the first time we’ve ever played TT’s.
$10, 21+ show, doors at 9pm, rumor has it we’re on around 10pm
We are not only playing this set, it’s in honor of the fact that BUFF is screening our video for the title track from our album, “This Is An Adventure” as the opening of the festival. Way cool!
The whole fest is March 19-26. Go, see our video on the big screen, support awesome art!
