This is my last weekend in New York before I head back to Berlin next Friday. Tonight, as a sort of "farewell New York" party, I play Tonic with my old friends Toog and Fashion Flesh. The show runs from 8pm to midnight and the bill is: Toog, Fashion Flesh, Momus (accompanied by Fashion Flesh). Tonic is at 107 Norfolk Street on the Lower East Side (212 358 7501). This will be my only proper North American music gig this year, and I'll be previewing my forthcoming record "Ocky Milk" (which has now been delivered to the record labels).



Here we all are in elevators yesterday (one leading to the Boesky Gallery in Chelsea, where there's a fun John Waters show, the other to Karin Komoto's apartment on 16th Street at 6th Avenue). Left to right in the lower photo: Karin Komoto (star forever), Yuh-Shioh Wong (painter), Florence Manlik (artist and illustrator, check her fantastic drawings blog), Toog (poet and best friend), John's friend Brent, and John Talaga himself (Fashion Flesh). See you tonight!

The fella with the glegs is rather handsome, Mr. Momus.

I prefer her more abstract, volute-inspired organic pieces, but the bats are charming.

Great!!

I am glad you are performing tonight!
When I visited the Whitney I didn't see you there...

I look forward to the show.

Can you mention it here when you know your schedule? I've just arrived in NYC and would like to catch it. I somehow thought you were performing through the 31st. Thanks.

gig sounds good. safe journey home.

reading your other posts. the jan family is brainless derivitive kitsch made by a bunch of spoilt wealthy brats who have enough cash to shove their lame spineless crap under international noses. sorry momus. normally i love your blog but i find those guys upsetting. i happen to have spent time in their presence and the only reason they work as a family is because nina and marie havent got a braincell to string between 'em.

and btw to clear something up. they WERE, rather obviously, taught by abake.

bis bald.

Sorry, that should be 'gleggs' (double G). They are glasses. Spectacles.
