Mongol Beach, circa the early ’90s
Details:
Mongol Beach Party. Friday, December 19 (with the Afterparty), and Saturday, December 20 (with the Last Call Girls), at the Record Bar.
Though the holiday season is typically shits for live music, it does afford an opportunity for impromptu band reunions. Mongol Beach Party's two-night stand at the Record Bar comes as an unexpected yuletide blessing for anyone who reveled in the local band's early '90s-vintage bizarro blend of Elvis Costello, Trip Shakespeare, XTC and Captain Beefheart. Billing themselves as an "inappropriately festive" bunch, the Mongols had a rep for dance-party hotness on the soles of arty pop tunes. After the group's dissolution, each member moved on to equally offbeat projects: Guitarist Jeff Freling scored a coveted gig with Chicago's Blue Man Group; drummer Bill Belzer hooked up with the New Amsterdams; bassist Scott Easterday formed Expassionates; saxophonist Mark Southerland helmed Snuff Jazz; and lead singer and percussionist Christian Hankel and trombonist Kyle Dahlquist birthed Alacartoona.
