About This Event
The bill at Bowery Palace — My Girlfriends' Boyfriends, Kitchen Sink, Summer Vacation and Lauren Tung — includes Kitchen Sink, sharing a name with British "kitchen sink realism." That late-1950s/early-1960s movement used social realism to depict working-class domestic life and contentious social issues; presented in a rock/pop bill, it frames a live encounter between social concern and popular song.

Kitchen Sink
