Video: Young@Heart Chorus Comes To Town

Last night the Young@Heart chorus kicked off a stretch of shows at St. Ann's Warehouse (they'll be there through May 1st). The performers range from 73 to 90, but expect to hear what a much younger set keeps on their iPods—they interpret the likes of the Pixies, the Buzzcocks, Bruce Springsteen and more. For their Brooklyn performances, they'll present "End of the Road," "the third part of the Chorus' musical theater 'road' trilogy... an exploration of the power of music to transcend age. The show takes audiences on a journey through the 20th century, with ballads giving way to hardcore rock & roll." Check 'em out in action below (and live!). Geriatric karaoke, this ain't.

Now how do we get them to pair up with the kids from PS 22 when they're in town?

    There was a special about Young@Heart on PBS a few months back... Heartwarming story about survival and living in the moment. I am really looking forward to seeing this!

    Good for them! I love this.

    It looks like they had a good time doing this!

    Ahh yes. The spring time sounds of Geriatric live music along with the hip beats of fecal incontinence, spewing feces, and hip bone cracking makes for a refreshing new sound.

    I think we got ourselves a hit.
