Kabarett Spielraum proudly present a bill of cabaret rock and lounge electronica.
Imagine a parallel universe where the Stooges fired Iggy and replaced him with a young Kate Bush and you have Joana And The Wolf. Lead singer Joana was performing as a solo artist, playing electronic-based music at various venues around London. Encouraged by positive advice from record labels, the band was formed 9 months ago, whose members brought a more raw, wild guitar sound to Joana's songs, introducing influences such as the White Stripes, Jeff Buckley, The Pixies, PJ Harvey, Patti Smith, Nirvana and Radiohead. The power created by driving guitar, bass and drums explodes in an unconventional sound that trully rocks. At other times this great energy unexpectedly turns itself into dark shiver-inducing melodies.
Main support comes from Tits Of Death. Think Peaches meets Spinal Tap, pissing in a dark alley behind a strip club. It's not every day you see a band that sends you home with ringing ears at 1am to thrash at Marc Bolan numbers on your unplugged Strat, feeling every bit the Iggy Pop rock monster you just know you are on the inside. Hell, it's not every band that have the capacity to bring out that part of you that wants to throw on an evening gown and join them onstage to spit fire through a rendition of 'Teenage Kicks'. Five women. Two bass guitars. Two synths. One Guitar. And the Dirty Box. Let's rock!
Before that is Man From Uranus, making his second visit to Kabarett Spielraum. Here's his tour diary entry about his previous visit: "Played two sets - at the start of the night I played a quirky, beautiful 15 minutes. 2nd set, the audience talked through the first song so I yelled "That was called Fuck You". That caught their attention, my adrenaline surged and I played one of my funkiest, weirdest, noisiest sets ever. Help."
So we had to book him again.
Since his last visit, he's been signed to a new label formed by Barry Smith of Add N to (X). We await to see what wonderful fate befalls this purveyor of what Time Out described as "Moogy punk".
Opening proceedings are Maeilific Jester is the pseudonym of Paul Blackwood, DJ, VJ, musician and visual artist of this manor. Whilst preparing his new band Anarchistwood [featuring errant members of the notorious Gobsausage], he has found time to create some marvellous solo material. Accompanied by visuals from the lovely Funkcutter, fans of quirky electronica artists like Si Begg will find much to amuse and delight them.
In memoriam Steve Absolum.
