Join us TUESDAY DECEMBER 13 @ Outpost 186 for Junk Kitchen's pre-launch party!
The official start of the series will be in January, but we couldn't
wait to get started! So we decided to throw a warm-up concert, featuring
performances by First Worst Thirst in diverse formations.
We'll be playing original tunes, improvisations, as well as samples of some
of the themes of the up-coming season, like Raymond Scott Night, Burt Bacharach Bash and Get
into the Mini, a program of miniatures, compositions and improvs.
In line with the festivities of the season, this will be a thoroughly
entertaining affair. So dress up or dress down, whatever you need to do,
and come ready to move, have a drink, play along or just sit back and
enjoy!

the junk kitchen: consumable improvisation
The Junk Kitchen is a mobile, monthly
concert series based out of the Outpost 186, in Inman Square,
Cambridge, MA. Conceived by oboist/vocalist Esther Viola and drummer
Ben Dicke, the mission is to present
diverse, at times obscure music styles in ways which are inviting and
consumable to audience members who may be inexperienced with some of
these forms. Our series brings together our favorite elements
of the music we love: accessible, approachable melodies and grooves
balanced with experimentation, genre-blurring and boundary-pushing.
Our ultimate goal is to express our insatiable curiosity in a form
that a wide audience can appreciate. This means that while
experimentation and the avant-garde will remain in the foreground,
these elements will also be tempered by an awareness of what our
audience and potential audience will appreciate. In short, with this
series we pose the central question: How can we create and package
the music we love in a format that speaks to you?
