I'm Willing To Bet They'll Be The ONLY All-Transgendered Klezmer Punk Band Ever

Okay, here's the ultimate in unusual bands: They're a transgender klezmer punk band named "Schmekel," which, of course, is a Yiddish word for "penis." All four members were born female and are now male, and they do satirical klezmer/punk songs that touch on gender, Jewish and other topics. You couldn't come up with this if you tried; imagine casting for FOUR female-to-male, Jewish klezmer musicians with the same sense of humor. (New York Times)
