WORLD/INFERNO
FRIENDSHIP SOCIETY

New York's own soul-punk orchestra, The WORLD/INFERNO Friendship Society, has just announced a series of Spring tourdates to perform their red-eyed showtunes to the swarming punk-rock masses.

Fresh off a stunning, sold-out performance of the band's theater-inspired Addicted To Bad Ideas: Peter Lorre's 20th Century at New York's Webster Hall, the band is ready to add the fuel to the fire and feed their starving fans around the country (and Canada!).

At eight pieces – wailing drums, three horns, two guitars, way too many teeth, a piano, and a singer soaked with wit, charisma, and humor – their songs so sweet and quicksilver beat promise to put you smack in the middle of the vaudeville circus you've always wished your life could be. Celebrating the addition of new drummer, Brian Viglione of Boston cabaret-punk heroes The Dresden Dolls, the band's tight musicianship and penchant for brewing up high-energy dance numbers are rooted in punk, but manifest themselves with flashes of Count Basie, Wilson Pickett, The Pogues, and Little Richard all out on a night-long bender.

THE WORLD/INFERNO is coming to your town! Full-time fighting friends to the friendless, the most successful scourge to the oppressors since Willie Sutton, they're riding a wave of sumptuous red wine straight into your hearts. Even if they have to buy the drinks themselves, they'll do it. Come see the circus play the dirty rock club, one night only! Come and waltz with the one you love.
