Jewmongous! Unkosher Comedy Songs featuring Sean Altman
JEWMONGOUS, a comedy song concert, is the colicky, uncircumcised brain child of SEAN ALTMAN: the golden-voiced song-writing wiz and former leader/founder of Rockapella (of "Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?").
Sean was featured in Time Out New York's cover story "The New Super Jews" and in the New York Times feature about "the Jewish Hipster Movement."
"Full of catchy melodies, clever arrangements and lyrics that yield satiric gems... Bawdy with a wicked modern streak..." - WASHINGTON POST
Featuring original songs include the fractured Passover story song "They Tried to Kill Us (We Survived, Let's Eat)", which was featured on NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross; the Irish drinking song ode to the infamous Blood Libel "Christian Baby Blood"; the venomous anti-Jews-For-Jesus punk anthem "Jews For Jesus"; the cowboy romp "Long-Tongue Shloime"; the dysfunctional Bar Mitzvah anthem "Today I Am A Man"; and the swinging "Blow, Murray, Blow!", about a Yom Kippur shofar (ram's horn) blower so virtuosic that his playing purges listeners of all their sins, no matter how despicable.
