I would like to take this opportunity to officially announce the 
formation of my new band, KIKE. Our first single, now in the 
works, includes as the A Side, "Allen Ginsberg Up the Ass" ("I felt 
my face mashed like potato salad against the wall as Allen stuck his poetry up  
my ...") and as the B side "(I Am) The Switzerland of Love." Both metaphorical 
explorations of various issues relevant to JewPunks ike yourselves,they're also
rocking numbers that will that will set your toes tapping as you hum them behind 
the four questions at your next Passover seder. They also will feature back-up 
singers The Kikettes (who will themselves be backed-up by The Shiksa Goddess 
Trio) and will include on drums my good pal and Schvartz Shabbat founder Steve 
Brykman (who may even play one of his Klezmerized Black Sabbath covers for   
your enjoyment).

If you would like to support KIKE, be sure to order your buttons and/or t-shirts 
("I LIKE KIKE!") today. Just let me know if you're interested, and I'll give you 
some idea of the cost. It ain't much for the buttons, trust me. And they have 
the extra added benefit of calling to mind those campaign badges of our favorite 
Jewish president, "Isaac" Ike Eisenhower.
