Hot on the heels of their Glastonbury debut, The Billy Nayer Show crashland at the Microplex for along-time awaited live show. Explaining The BNS is like the Supreme Court trying to define pornography. Their specialty is a dark and sometimes cryptic sarcasm that encases a surprising core belief in the power of love. BNS is a band infused by an entirely unique, internal mythology outside and beyond any trends.

Their newest album RABBIT (2004), offers this question: Is this a story about rabbits and bears or is this a story about saying your prayers? At once slinky and angular, lush and bright, rough, raw and refined, the bands current direction sparkles with a glam rock aesthetic delivered with straightforward garage attitude.

The San Francisco born, New York based Billy Nayer Show is fronted by
singer/songwriter/electric autoharpist Cory McAbee- director and star of THE AMERICAN ASTRONAUT the band’s feature length film, a space western musical that we are fortunate enough to welcome back for a screening after the gig.
