PRESS RELEASE

New Haven, CONN. – The Connecticut Gay Men’s Chorus (CGMC) presents the Kinsey Sicks Electile Dysfunction, a benefit for the CGMC.

In Electile Dysfunction: The Kinsey Sicks for President, the Dragapella divas present their views on pressing political issues such as education, immigration, unemployment, scandal and corruption – and all in glorious four-part harmony. Their original songs and brilliant re-imaginings of classics include such numbers as “Sell the Poor,” “Eliminate the Schools,” and their campaign anthem, “Vote for Me (I’m Not From Kenya).” Saturday, Oct. 13, at 8 p.m. Tickets, at $30 for general seating and $40 for table seating, can be reserved by calling the CGMC Box Office at 1.800.644.2462 or online to CTGMC.org. Seating is limited, so order early.

The Kinsey Sicks, America’s Favorite Dragapella Beautyshop Quartet, have hit the campaign trail, and New Haven is their next stop. As we now know, corporations are people too. And The Kinsey Sicks are proud to be the first corporation to run for president of the United States on the Republican ticket. (Don’t forget, Halliburton was only vice president.)

The Kinsey Sicks was spawned in San Francisco 18 years ago. They have performed Off-Broadway, done an extended run in Las Vegas, and tour full-time worldwide. Combining rich, four-part harmony, biting satire and over-the-top drag, The Kinsey Sicks have performed in 41 states, Mexico, Canada, Europe and Australia. They starred in their own Off-Broadway show at New York’s Studio 54 and are the subjects of two feature films. In 2012, they released their eighth album, also called “Electile Dysfunction.”

The New York Times praised their “voices sweet as birdsong,” and Billboard calls them “one act that should not be missed.” The San Francisco Chronicle says, “Their mangling of hit songs hits genius level.”
