Fiddler On Da Roof
Fiddler On Da Roof
An old high school friend of mine is the lead singer, and driving force behind the punk band Yidcore. A bunch of Jewish boys who were too much make-up and have too many peircings but certainly have a devoted fan following. Anyway, believe it or not me and the lead singer were in Fiddler on the Roof at our local synogogue over 12 years ago. I am sure it was his great experience that led him to re-make the traditional fiddler on the roof into a punk version!!! Everyone song has the origjnal lyrics but the tunes are are up beat. I thought it might be fun to re-collaborate with Bram on the the musical and help him with the music video for one of the songs. He suggested “If I were a rich man”, not to be confused with the Gwen Stephanie adaptation (no I do not like the most Yokish looking girls attempting to sing If I were a rich man)!
What is important to me in this collaboration is that I ensure the piece is representative of the band but with my voice in there somewhere. The band is renound for being controversial, and far be it from me to mess with their image. The truth is I love their controversial image. Althoguth I might look like your typical nice Jewish girl when it comes to my art, I belive in making a statement. I am not as in your face as some, I like to be a little more subtle about my points. And, if one chooses to pay attention to the work I create one will notice I am anything but PC. Consequently, the collaboration is sure to be an excellent adventure.
As for my collaboration on my dating Jewish boys doco, that is still moving ahead. I have not scrapped the idea, I am simply moving slower on the project. I thought I would make this a priority, but still put the other together.
