Recorded live at the Archa Theatre, Prague, in 2009, the world-famous punk, street-opera trio The Tiger Lillies perform a legendary concert featuring many of their most famous songs.
From ghouls to ghosts, skeletons to witches and things that go bump in the night - venture, if you dare, in to a place of certain peril and doom (and maybe no return) - Adrian Stout’s bedroom!
Adapted from Greek Rebetika of the 1930’s, these songs of pick pockets, grifters, refugees and the marginal are never more relevant. The new album is available on Bandcamp.
The band will premiere their brand new album entitled ‘Down in Lemonaki’, on Thursday, October 1, at the Herodion, along with songs from the two "Covid-19" albums, which were recorded during the lockdown.
Covid-19 vol. II will be released exclusively on Bandcamp tonight at midnight CET, with songs including ‘Lockdown Blues’, “Care Home,” ’Poor Man Killer’ and ‘Don’t Drink Bleach’.
After being locked down for weeks with no hope of escape (like the rest of the planet), the Tiger Lillies have broken out of their private lairs to come together over Zoom to perform the entire Covid-19 album in full. 1 MAY 20:00 CET on YouTube and FB.
It seems like now is the perfect time to return to these stories of horror and impending doom and make these songs available in audio for the long nights of isolation we are all experiencing now.
This release reissues the full album on vinyl, with a lyrics insert featuring Gorey artwork, in a split-colour limited edition: the first 200 copies only are in Gorey Green, the remainder being Bat Black.
Based on the seminal 18th century Beggar's Opera by John Gay and Brecht and Weill's Threepenny Opera, the band present their own version of this wildly entertaining classic.
The Tiger Lillies are celebrating 30 years of their provocative brand of avant-garde punk-cabaret with their symphonic latest album, Devil’s Fairground (out 15 February).
