Mixing comedy and music in one show is a nice combination. Not only do you get to laugh, but you also get to relax the muscles in your face, as is the case during A Night of Indie Music and Comedy at The Mill. This Friday, folks can get their comedy fix from DeVan Penegar and Michael Robinette. Music by Alexa Woodward and Ukrainian-born/Brooklyn-based Alina Simone (pictured) will follow. Simone, known for her more melancholy folk-esque sounds, went more rampant with rock on her recent disc Make Your Own Danger. The songstress - whose fam emigrated to the U.S. after the KBG blacklisted her father - had last released 2008's Everyone is Crying Out to Me, Beware, a tribute of Siberian punk-folk singer Yanka Dyagileva covers sung entirely in Russian. Simone also just put out her debut memoir, titled You Must Go and Win. Seems she most certainly has a way with words.
