Suave & The Boner is a bold new invention—a little bit steampunk, a little burlesque, more than a little bent, and a whole lot of funny. Updating the classic comedy formulas of yesteryear, Lizzy Suave and Jack Boner sold out their spicy cabaret in NYC, and now they've parked it in the studio for an outrageous debut album that surprises in more ways than one.
The original tunes are smart, racy tunes in a fun vaudeville style, from “Look At The Size Of That Pickle” to “It’s Getting Very Crowded In My Box (At The Opera)”. New arrangements showcase almost-lost music hall and vaudeville gems like “Nobody Loves a Fairy When She’s Forty” and “The Pheasant Plucker’s Son”, many with saucy new lyric touches.
The fabulous Liz Rubino stars as Lizzy Suave. Liz is a New York-based stage performer and recording artist who has performed at both the Duplex and Metropolitan Room. Talented composer and writer John Paul Boukis joins her as Jack Boner, and both of them sing their pants off for you. This album is clearly a labor of love, and their chemistry is a blast.
The album features the entire cabaret act, even the comedy sketches and naughty sponsor commercials thanks to a successful launch from Kickstarter. Spank you very much!
