Brainiac Amour Performs "Channeled Music" at the Psychic Cafe

Brainiac Amour Performs "Channeled Music" at the Psychic Cafe, 181 West 10 Street, New York City, on July 13 from 9:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.

    NEW YORK, June 20 -- "We take requests, but only telepathically," says Tony Sokol, bassist of Brainiac Amour, which will be performing "channeled music" at the Psychic Café, 181 West 10 Street on July 13, 2002, from 9:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.
    The band invites all area psychics, professional and amateur, to test their natural abilities of mental persuasion by directing the course of the music.
    Genuine Gypsy psychics and other spiritual workers will be on the premises to help create a paranormal experience for all.
    Brainiac Amour is also performing the music from an original rock opera about the assassination of John F. Kennedy under the alias Grassy Knoll Cowards.
    Tony Sokol has been a consistent presence on the late-night circuit of New York theater since 1992. He created and wrote 13 plays for La Commedia del Sangue: The Vampyr Theater, which Michael Musto praised in the Daily News as "Every bit as weird as it sounds, La Commedia Del Sangue -- presents its eerie rituals with conviction, unabashedly lacing the vampires' ruthless survival tactics with more of a raw sexuality than the misty romanticism they're usually diluted by. With its toothsome mix of horror and black comedy, it hardly lacks for bite." And which Joan Rivers called "very funny." Vampyr Theatre was the number one strange thing in New York City on UPN's Strange Universe. (Although it seems another dark coincidence that Michael Musto no longer contributes to the Daily News, Joan Rivers no longer hosts the television show in which she referred to Vampyr Theater, and Strange Universe has been cancelled.) The New York Times said "this is why you live in New York."
    Tony Sokol also wrote Death Takes a Valium, How to Skip Alimony Through Voluntary Manslaughter, and Everybody ODs. He has written songs and incidental music for five films and over twenty stage productions and has appeared on the Joan Rivers (TV) Show, Strange Universe, WNEW-FM, WBAI-FM, WABC-AM, WFUV-FM, WFMU-FM, BBC-Television, Radio Britain's "The Girlie Show," and over a dozen Manhattan Public Access TV Shows.
