\nYou ng, hip widely acclaimed New York-based Klezmer/Rock band GOLEM transf orms the music of its Jewish grandparents, making it modern, edgy, sex y and brash. Their explosive onstage attitude gets Klezmer to rock.\n\ nFronted by Annette Ezekiel - bandleader, accordionist and singer - as well as madcap vocalist Aaron Diskin and violin virtuoso Alicia Jo Ra bins, the band's six members, all in their 20's and 30's, create GOLEM 's powerfully vibrant sound. With updated versions of old Yiddish tune s, Golem seduces audiences of Klezmer fans and rockers alike, and is e qually at home as rock clubs, synagogues, and concert halls, from Linc oln Center's Damrosch Park to the rock clubs of the Lower East Side.\n \nTheir performance is a veritable party with a historical message - e ach song evokes old-world cities longed for by homesick Jewish immigra nts: Odessa, Romania, Bukovina, Nikolayev, Belz and Bialystok as well as wild gypsy songs learned during travels in Serbia, Russia, and Ukra ine. The result is a musical romp through Eastern Europe and A snapsho t of shtetl life through the filter of a much younger generation's eye s.\n\n\"A Gypsy-punk gem!\" - SPIN.com\n\"Golem produces the sort of m usic you'd expect if the shtetl were filled with punks instead of peas ants.\" - The Washington Post\n\"Stellar!
