heh - I subscribe to a Weimar cabaret community in LJ and have noticed a lot of cool things happening in NYC in this vein. Of course, my true desire is not to just attend these shows, but to put some on (with dadaist smatterings a la Cabaret Voltaire).
Here's a posting from another venue (love the dress code):
Quote:
We invite all modern day flappers, dandies, crazies, crooks and ne'er-do-wells to join us in dancing to the hottest tunes of the Roaring Twenties, Dirty Thirties and Flying Forties from 10pm to 4am every third Saturday of the month at the Pussycat Lounge in New York City! There will be special performances planned for each evening, which will commence at 11:00pm. Dances of Vice not only aims to promote appreciation for the music and culture of the past, but will also feature music from contemporary musicians either influenced by music of the early century, or in the avant garde spirit of the period in general.
Requested Attire: 1920-40s vintage, Avant Garde, Victorian, Edwardian, Steampunk, Decadent, etc- dress to impress! An additional entry fee will be charged for attendees in casual attire.
