So I was telling a friend of mine about Rock-N-Romp, and he said, “That reminds me of Pancake Mountain.” Come again? Where is this luscious destination?
No, gentle reader – Pancake Mountain is not a natural wonder formed from breakfast treats (the tantalizing photo at left is purely gratuitous); rather, it’s a DC-based cable access show featuring dance parties with indie bands and dancing fans, ages 5 and up. Past bands have included The Go Team, Arcade Fire, and others, and have been filmed at venues like the 9:30 Club and Black Cat.
Joe Heim of The Washington Post describes Pancake Mountain thusly:
“A sort of slapstick Sesame Street that combines Pee-wee’s Playhouse silliness with the inspired lunacy of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, the program also boasts an ultra-hip and ever-expanding musical guest list.”
