Ed Hamell performs tonight in Minneapolis

Ed Hamell is known for songs with titles like "Dance Til the Sobbing Stops" and "How I Wanna Die" — with lyrics to match. To put it neatly, The Village Voice once described him as "a one-man Tarantino flick: loud, vicious, luridly hilarious, gleefully and deeply offensive."

Hamell (who goes by Hamell on Trial onstage) performs tonight at The Hook and Ladder Theater & Lounge in Minneapolis.
