Review
Catch Tint-Zell last evening at Bruno & Kelsey.
Formerly a solo, Milky Gritti has added Lil-Eye Akimbo,
and to good effect. Sort of a marriage of Below Deep
Grunge and The Conservatory.
Her opening monolog, which I miss, entitled
I Fuckin Graduated!
They keep the transgendered bit of the original act,
she in tux resembling a prize fighter at a banquet
where the awards go elsewhere, he in a dusty
Victorian dress being hauled to the asylum during
a fit of butch.
When I walk in, they emit Celestial, a series of protracted
sexual moans accompanied by toy pianos.
The mid portion of the program, forgettable, at least
transcends his former interior stuff where one strained
to pick up a note or two.
In what will become their signature, Tint-Zell ends with
Patriotic Rag-Rage, several national anthems played by
flatulent horns of their own invention and recorded
on an old reel to reel. On playback they do a striptease.
Satire lost on one audience member who marches
and salutes variously, well past final nudity.
