Schmekel


Schmekel is an all-transgender, Jewish folk punk band from Brooklyn, NY, known for their humor. They have been compared to Pansy Division, Tribe 8, Frank Zappa, Mel Brooks and Tom Lehrer. Eddy Portnoy of The Forward cites Schmekel as an example of the cultural movement "Queer Yiddishkeit."
