by Dr. Susan Block As the clothes come off in Bonoboville, the Confederate flag comes down in South Carolina, and the sweet sounds of the winsome Luzers greet the Bonobo Summer of Love. Toe-tapping Norwegian pop rock with a Hasidic twang, big fake boobs and pierced labia, Cold Cock and Cosby-itis… this show is eclectic with a capital Eeeee! It’s the kind of live broadcast that brings people together from all walks of life, setting The Dr. Susan Block Show apart from all the other shows and making it kind of uncategorizable. On the other hand, it’s just a 21st century spin on old-time Commedia: live music, burlesque and a bit of behind-the-scenes sturm und drang with a bonoboësque twang. Our very special musical guests are The Luzers in their virgin appearance in Bonoboville and, indeed, all of America. Named for the band’s lead singer who also happens to be a recurring guest on DrSuzy.Tv, Mr. Luzer Twersky, the Luzers are the brainchild of the merry, mutton-chopped, musical Mad Hatter of Bergen, Norway, Hans Petter Gundersen, a.k.a. “H.P.” In addition to being LA’s most up-and-coming ex-Hasidic Jew, winner of two “Best Actor” awards for his performance in Félix & Meira and a recurring player on Amazon’s hit series Transparent, Luzer is also the unofficial Bonoboville chauffeur which is why parts of this show feel like a performance at a big family dinner, if your family gathers around for Cold Cock and a striptease. Listen to the archive to hear the romantic story of Luzer and Hans’ meeting at the Laurel Canyon Country Store.
