This family collects vintage family vacation slides at garage sales and writes songs about them. And they’re awesome. They’re The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players and they’ve toured with Kate Nash, appeared on Noggin and Conan and been written about in the New Yorker. They’ve also starred in their own off-Broadway show, cooked vegetarian meals on stage to share with their audience, made lots of stuff out of felt and protested Mayor Bloomebrg’s rezoning of the Lower East Side and East Village which will make housing unaffordable for lower income families. It’s pretty fun and also hard not to try to imagine what daily life is like in this family’s quirky and charming Lower East Side indie vaudeville family band vintage clothes performance art craft making world. We would really like to be invited over for dinner. Here are the Trachtenburgs performing “You’re The One Who’s Made for Me..” on Noggin.
