The beloved downtown song-and-booze cabaret act recorded their special Sept. 19, one-night "farewell performance" of Kiki & Herb Will Die For You at Carnegie Hall which will be release Feb. 1. A limited amount of preview CDs will be available for purchase at the Dec. 16 event.

David J. Foster and Jared Geller presented the show following the duo's longest running and lauded show Coup de Théatre Off-Broadway last year. The "groundbreaking concert appearance [was to] mark the pair's farewell New York performance (unless you believe in reincarnation)," according to a release.

The show paired the duo's unique renditions of popular songs ranging from Eminem to Britney Spears to Kate Bush with political barbs and social observations. Old favorites and never-before-heard songs were included in the "musical retrospective of their extraordinarily glamorous career on the margins of mainstream." The kooky cabaret couple have previously played New York City venues with productions of Jesus Wept and There's a Stranger in the Manger!

Justin Bond and Kenny Mellman created Kiki & Herb in 1993 and have been embodying their respective alter-egos ever since in various shows. The infamous duo make their way through a number of songs, occasionally taking the off ramp into the brash and boozy bio of the "septuagenarian" (as her press release states) Kiki. As she "drags" us through those unforgettable moments, her shy straight man accompanist Herb tickles the ivories.
