Verfremdungsklezmer = Punk Cabaret + Radical Yiddish Song + Gothic American Folk + Klezmer Danse Macabre. Fronted by jewish-Detroiter singer-songwriter Daniel Kahn on vocals, accordion, piano and guitar with East German Bert Hildebrandt on clarinets, US expat composer Michael Tuttle on upright bass, and a rotating roster of some of Berlin and New Yorks best young Klezmer and Balkan players, the band was formed in Berlin in fall of 2005. Their first album, The Broken Tongue, was released on Chamsa Records in Fall 2006 to much acclaim. Like the grotesque Jerzy Kozinski novel from which they take their name, The Painted Bird reminds us that even if man is only an animal, he can still sing.
