Duck and Cover 2 is the 2nd iteration of 21 Grand¹s series of radical
reinterpretations of popular songs performed, reformed, and deformed by
local musicians. Unlike the interminable TV program, American Idol,
where talent is judged partly on one¹s ability to perform a relatively
faithful rendition of someone else¹s material, we aim to present
unfaithful renditions that deconstruct the song, work with it in an
unconventional way, or use it as a leaping off point to do something
more interesting. Duck and Cover 2 takes place over 2 nights, one at the
Luggage Store Gallery in San Francisco, and the other at 21 Grand.
