Toon Town ALBUM Release w/The Perfect Children+Wonky Tonk+Liam Hall

Toon Town is excited to announce the long awaited release of our full length debut album, appropriately titled “Stay Lost”!! We’re gonna party down with some of our favorite local friends on one of our neighborhood’s finest stages, the one in the back room of the Northside Tavern!!! Come “get lost” in sounds with Toon Town and our very special guests:

The Perfect Children – The Perfect Children are the romp and stomp; the fresh wound of broken love; laughing in spite of pain. They are a girl with something to say and a boy to help deliver the message, cathartic but engaging. Their energy is infectious, the notes ring out, and the space between is an emotional exhalation- personal but vague. They live at the intersection of Holly Golightly ,Dex Romweber, Nina Simone, Al Green, and Otis Redding. They play from the gut, heart, and soul and are rough, raw, and real. They will guilt trip you into getting outta your seats, their dirty showcase further punctuated by 2 backing vocalists who aid in lifting the stage off the floor and blowing the doors off the joint. To quote Little Richard,they will curl up under your big toe.

The band’s sonic stew of gospel, garage, blues, rock, and even punk has created a buzz that’s leaving jaws open, rumps shakin’ and feet stompin’. With singer/songwriter Kristen Kreft (Pearlene/J. Dorsey Blues Revival) at the helm, the dynamic duo of Beth Harris (The Hiders/Pearlene) and Nicole Potter Borngrebe on backing vox, and the rhythm section inertia of drummer Adam Shelton (RX2/Kallip) and bass player Nic Powers (Static Falls/The Sweep), the vocal velocity of this frenetic force will etch an impression that will last. They are something to behold.

Wonky Tonk – While the road, she calls Home, the Wonk hails from KY & her band, The Highlife, from Cincinnati. Despite where they call ‘home’, all members are vagabonds and misfits in their own regard.

The Wonk has been playing tunes ever since Miami band, The Curious Hair, deemed her the ‘Wonk’ of her high school project, The Wonky Donkeys after finding them on this thing called ‘Myspace.’

Wonky Tonk has played with folks like Langhorne Slim, Jessica Lea Mayfield and Billy Prine; in America, toured with a Danish Eukele band through Europe and now, sometimes solo, in a little van named Loretta.

In 2017 Wonky Tonk was joined by a bodacious group of musicians who require ‘practice juice’ to create sweet, sweet music. They are The Highlife and they are handsome and kick ass.

2018 is the Year of the Wonk.

Liam Hall – aka Billy “The Bee” Hall is the primary songwriter and front man for the Covington KY based psychedelic rock collaborative known as Common Center. With equal ability to blend off kilter grooves with both heavieness and serene beauty, Liam Hall is one of the most versatile songwriters in the greater Cincinnati area, and will introduce a sound to your ears that you didn’t even know you were missing.
