On November 1st and 2nd, The Miami Light Project presents “The Criminal Castrati’s anarchic brechtian blues trio, The Tiger Lillies, an extraordinary three piece band creating music that is a startling mixture of opera, gypsy song and left bank Paris. Fronted by singer Martyn Jacques who trained himself as an opera singer with a castrati style voice of heartbreaking beauty whilst living alone above a strip joint in Soho for seven years, accompanied by drummer Mike Pickering and double bass player Adrian Stout. The Tiger Lillies sing savage and passionate songs about prostitutes, drug addicts and losers, their voices soaring and growling like men possessed.” Trust us – you don’t want to miss this!
We have a pair of tickets to give away for the November 1st show, and you can win them by leaving a comment on this post. The winner will be chosen at random and will be announced Monday, Oct. 28th at 4PM. Please, only one comment per person.
Their album The Gorey End with the Kronos Quartet based on Edward Gorey’s poems is wickedly entertaining!
