Marrying a drinking song with a lullaby

By Frank De Blase on February 15, 2007

Stopped into the Bug Jar just long enough to catch a coupla tunes from the Baby Shambles Ensemble as the members sang a song about wanting to be friends with a bear. The line-up --- cello, ukelele, guitar, and elctric piano --- was fractured, fragile, and beautiful. The gang vocals were like the marriage of a drinking song with a lullaby. Expect to be hearing more from them.
