Huddled around an AM radio on the fire escape of a fifth floor walk-up, native New Yorkers Ariel Hammerstein and Yakob Veivelman grew up obsessed with the smooth sounds of the post-disco, pre-new wave era. Completely devoted to this hallmark era of pop music, it's their life's mission to bring the hits and lesser-known classics of the late '70s and early '80s back to the masses. Their catalog is a virtual A to Z of the Billboard charts from three and half decades past: Ambrosia to Xanadu, all interpreted through the prism of the New York Jewish experience. The duo are backed by a group of NYC's finest semitic sidemen known as The Full Minyan Band.For this show, they celebrate the newest Jewbadour, Chaim O'Schwartz's, passage into manhood. There is a $20 cover.
