Press Release
By Metta Ray
West Haven Center for the Arts is excited to announce the visit of unique musicians and entertainers, Vermillion Lies of Oakland California, on April 11, 2008 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12 ($10 for WCA members, seniors and students.)
Sisters, Zoe and Kim Boekbinder "Vermillion", have perfected their craft of silliness and comedy and have performed and delighted millions in places from Las Vegas to Russia.
This vaudeville style group features "What’s in the box?" as the question on which their performances are based and also the name of their new album. Sometimes joined on stage by Myles Boisen (guitar) and Seth Ford-Young (bass). When asked in a San Francisco Chronicle interview what type of music theirs should be filed under Kim responded, "If Tom Waits and Jim Henson and Billie Holiday and Tiny Tim and a house cat and a barbecue grill were put in a blender ... that would be really gross. But I like the music that all those people (and things) make.
Their performances includes folklore music, circus music and crowd participation. They entertain and enchant audiences of all ages.
This environmentally conscious act uses recycled packaging and vegetable inks and drives a bio-diesel van on their tour as well as kooky humor and slapstick style comedy. When interviewed by the San Francisco Chronicle they said. "We are not identical and we were born two days apart - Jan. 18 and 20," they say. "Kim was born with an amplified typewriter in her hands and Zoe with a kazoo in her mouth. We pay our mother's therapy bills."
Sonja Roseth, Director of WCA, said, "We are thrilled to have Vermillion Lies come to WCA. They’re funny, sexy, weird and a lot of fun". In comparison to other acts that perform at the center Roseth said "Last week we had a string quartet, next week we have washboards and bbq grills."
It’s a play-date for all that no one will want to miss! "The WCA is proud to bring such artistic diversity to the North Coast." Said Roseth
