We've had this on our calendar for a while now and almost can't believe it's finally happening. Cult icon Jan Terri performs at PhilaMOCA tonight as part of its public-access variety show, Mondo Mauseolum.
The Chicago-based viral video legend has played at Marilyn Manson's parties and when you search YouTube for "worst music video ever," her song, "Losing You," appears near the top with over 3 million views. (It's actually pretty awesome.)
She also wrote "Get Down Goblin" because she didn't think we had enough Halloween songs. (Can you name any others besides "Monster Mash" and "Thriller"?) The A.V. Club says her videos are "chock full of unintentional comedy and irresistible charm," while others claim she's unintentionally brilliant. You can decide for yourself tonight.
