Impending happiness and love are coming the way of New York City next Friday night!

That's right: it's the World/Inferno Friendship Society. The CD release show for "Red-Eyed Soul" which is every bit as good as their old stuff, and take it from me (and everyone else who has ever been) the live shows are absolutely the most fun ever. For those who have not heard me (or Hardysan or Julianna or Jesse or whoever) evangelize about them, here is an uncommonly accurate description of what to expect, from their website:

The World/Inferno Friendship Society give you your damn soul back. It's been up all night, thinks everything is hysterical, and keeps humming tunes about Halloween and heroes, love lost and found, and the chivalry of crime. It sweats like whiskey and cries real red wine. It's chiding your friends for being so sad, mumbling, "You bouncers don't scare me one bit," and yelling "I joined a punk-rock band to break stuff, not to sit around lawyers' offices!" at inappropriate moments. Fifteen new songs by NYC's original international Punk-Rock Orchestra of elegant and angry Gentlemen and Ladies produced by Hardcore legend Don Fury and released by New Jersey Pioneer Punk-Rock label Chunksaah! The piano croons, the guitars shout, the drummers threaten, saxophones rip you from where you are tied to the mast, the accordion just stole your wallet, the string section is whispering in your ear, "don't be a jerk," and boys and girls are singing in harmony "only anarchists are ! . . . pretty!" Life is a cabaret, the circus is leaving town, don't forget the struggle, don't forget the streets.

Check out some of their sound samples (http://www.myspace.com/worldinferno) and for the sake of all that is good let us go bask in the glory that is Jack Terricloth. Bowery Ballroom, July 28. $15. Come forth and experience.
