The World/Inferno Friendship Society (commonly referred to as "World Inferno") is a cabaret punk band from Brooklyn. Its style merges punk, klezmer, and gospel, while its collective membership features horns, piano, guitar, a number of percussionists, as well as a variety of other instruments such as accordion, xylophone and orchestra bells. This musical collective has historically had over 30 members, including former members of Dexy's Midnight Runners. Usually one can expect to see about nine or ten members on-stage when they perform. The group is led by singer Jack Terricloth and guitarist Lucky Strano, who have been the most constant members throughout the group's history. Terricloth is known for his bizarre commentary during shows: his monologues have touched on politics, his transformation from the "old school," and his plans for World Inferno to play on a Boeing 757. Members have also played in Sticks and Stone
