Sky-Pony, with Lauren Worsham, to Bring the Carnival to Knitting Factory Next Month

Deli Magazine wrote of Brooklyn indie-popsters Sky-Pony: "They're not the simplest band to classify. They actually may not be best described as a band at all. Sky-Pony could be seen just as well as a burlesque show or carnival of sorts."

On November 13, that couldn't be truer. Sky-Pony (which is fronted by Tony nominee Lauren Worsham of Broadway's A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder) will present a carnivalesque evening of music and performance, featuring a concert by the band as well as the theatrical acrobatics of 2 Ring Circus and party-tastic Weezer cover band Surf Wax America.

It all happens on Thursday November 13 at The Knitting Factory (361 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn). Doors at 8:30pm, show at 9pm. Tickets are $12 advance / $15 day of show. More info and advance tickets available at http://bk.knittingfactory.com/tw-event/?event_id=5392225.

Sky-Pony (pictured at top) is a Brooklyn based band that merges lush, danceable indie-pop with burlesque-inspired performance art. They incorporate costumes, choreography, and projections into their high-energy live shows. Their discography includes two EPs: Say You Love Me Like You Mean It and Raptured Live, both available on itunes. Led by Tony nominated singer/actress Lauren Worsham and her Obie Award winning husband Kyle Jarrow, Sky-Pony also features the talents of Kevin Wunderlich, Lizzie O'Hara, Kristine Piacentile, Jessi Suzuki, Perry Silver, Eric Day and David Blasher. The Wall Street Journal describes Sky-Pony as "a 1960s girl group on crack - tight, fierce, hilarious and out of their minds." More info on the band at http://www.sky-pony.com.

2 Ring Circus strives to merge the art of circus with the heart of the Big Apple. Taking the term "triple threat" to the next level (literally), they take their love of dance and musical theatre to the air to create a polished theatrical experience that is taking the Great White Way to new heights. Upcoming events include a tour through China in November and December, "The Ghosts of Versailles" at LA Opera with Patricia Racette and Patti LuPone, "The Wizard of Oz" at the Fulton Theatre as well as tour dates with our own production shows throughout New York and the rest of the United States.

Surf Wax America is an early-era Weezer cover band from NYC who will blow your mind. It also features Eric Day and Kevin Wunderlich from Sky-Pony.
