Dark, whimsical, and beautiful songs. Shanghai 5 is a wild and fantastic variety show, featuring the chanteuse styling of Amy Curnow, who narrates us through a cinematic under world. Shanghai 5 often matches their set with vaudeville inspired shows including, one-man bands, comedy, feats of strength, theatrical drama, and film. Or they might enjoy a downtempo set, backed up by several dry martinis. Variety, curiosity, and a sense of adventure rule the group, landing them in the most interesting situations; playing divebars one night, and the Flamingo Hotel next. They\'ve shared they stage with media activists including Alex Jones and Ralph Nader, as well as raising money for HIV awareness with Erykah Badu. Look for Shanghai 5 on the next season of PBS \'Roadtrip Nation\' as they interview people on the fringe of music, writing, art, and activism.
