Ice Cream Social - $6
Ice Cream Social is a trio which presents original music by the members of the group, combined with total improvisation and fairly unrecognizable versions of songs by people like Tom Waits, the Mamas and the Papas and David Bowie. The musicians attempt to walk a fine line between genres like jazz, rock, tango and video game music. Sometimes they're too drunk to walk. Ice Cream Social is the remains of the Music Lover's Club, a collective quintet formed at the University of Miami in 2003, which was invited to perform at Carnegie Hall in 2004 as part of the Weill Music Institute's Professional Training Workshops.
