IN THE LOUNGE Imre Lodbrog et Sa Petite Amie: The Passenger Imre Lodbrog & Barbara Browning
About This Show
Imre Lodbrog is a semi-fictional French rock star who agreed to have Barbara Browning help him write his story. We recount it in serial form, with songs. This episode is about Imre’s self-reinvention at a fairly ripe age, when a psychologically unstable childhood friend named Freddy Croogger (“Two Gs!!”) accosted him with the disconcerting question, “T’es vivant ou t’es mort, quoi?!!” It took him a minute to come up with the answer, but when he did, his rock star alter ego was born. We’ll follow the telling of the tale with an electric set.
About the Artists
Imre Lodbrog is the greatest French rock star you’ve never heard of. Last year, he released an EP on vinyl (IMRE LODBROG ET SA PETITE AMIE) and launched it at the Hôtel Particulier in New York. It’s being distributed by Hueso Records. He is, as we’ve said, semi-fictional.
Barbara Browning is a novelist, performance theorist and amateur ukuleleist. Her first novel, The Correspondence Artist, won a Lambda Award; the second, I’m Trying to Reach You, was short-listed for The Believer Book Award. She teaches in the Department of Performance Studies at NYU. She is a real person.
