Charming Disaster at The Stage, April 28
By WTJU
Brooklyn goth-folk duo Charming Disaster will stop by WTJU Thursday, April 28, for a special one-hour concert starting at 6pm (edt) in celebration of their new album, Our Lady of Radium. You are invited to attend in person (2244 Ivy Rd, Charlottesville – right next door to Vivace), listen (91.1 FM and streaming at wtju.net), or watch it WTJU’s Facebook page or YouTube channel.
Charming Disaster is a goth-folk musical duo based in Brooklyn, NY, formed in 2012 by Ellia Bisker and Jeff Morris. Inspired by the macabre humor of Edward Gorey and Tim Burton, the murder ballads of the Americana tradition, and the dramatic flair of the cabaret, they write playfully dark songs that tell stories about death, crime, myth, magic, folklore, science, and the occult. Their latest album, Our Lady of Radium, was inspired by the life and discoveries of pioneering scientist Marie Curie.
“Winning, twinning harmonies, and sharp and timely lyrics…bring the past to life—and entwine it with the present day.” –The Big Takeover
“Their harmonies fit hand-in-glove, and their songs are as much cabaret/art rock as they are folk. There is plenty of wry humor afoot as well…The title track…achieves perfection in its simplicity.” –Chain D.L.K.
