A bunch of years back I was going through a box of CDs at the WFMU Record and CD Fair when one very unusual one caught my eye. The CD cover was mostly yellow and drawn like a super hero comic. It was the album They’re Everywhere from Jim’s Big Ego, which is comprised of guitarist Jim Infantino, percussionist Dan Cantor and bassist Jesse Flack. Inside were songs about bars, paranoids, math professors, mix tapes, The Flash (the DC comics super hero whose Silver Age of Comics artist, Carmine Infantino, is Jim’s uncle) and assholes. And JBE is as musically astute as they are lyrically astute. Because they haven’t played New York City in a while (they are based in the Boston area), take this opportunity to see what Jim’s Big Ego has up their collective sleeves.
Jim’s Big Ego, The Living Room, 154 Ludlow Street between Stanton and Rivington Street (F Train to 2nd Avenue, use the 1st Avenue exit), 8pm, No Cover (but a donation for the band is strongly recommended)
