Funeral Afterparty by Nu Klezmer Army
In the spirit of community based music and traditions, new and old, Nu Klezmer Army presents their debut album "Funeral Afterparty". Delivered with the raw musicianship and unfettered personality NKA has become known for, Nu Klezmer Army gives to you an album of traditional eastern-european tunes played honestly, interpreted through an ethos rather than mimicry. This album is a celebration of the lives of itinerant musicians passing knowledge and spirit down aurally, with pride, throughout history. It also serves as a tribute and an honor to all the musicians lost, who we continue to learn from, as well as those to come.

Just Add Shmaltzby Klezmer Rebs
Nu Klezmer Army brings forth an undeniably fun incarnation of instrumental, dance oriented, emotionally charged, klezmer music. Equal parts wandering gypsy, pickled punk, cut-rate circus, and drunken rabbi, they stay true to the traditions of learning from one another over bottles of shlivovitz and sharing stories of out travels. At home nowhere and everywhere...
