APRIL 11

Special Performers included:


Eyelash:
http://www.eyelashband.com/

The closing show of their national tour to launch their debut album "Recession". The album showcases their unique take on the world. A world inhabited by shame, hope and the perennial outsider.


Beautiful Deadly Children
http://www.electrohead.co.uk/bdc/frames.html




Described by the press as 'The U.K. vampire scene's most decadently dressed individuals', these children of the night continue to spread their own strange philosophy of style, elegance and vampirism to the elite and unwary. From the salons of Count Alexander Von Bereghasy, to sipping strange scarlet liquid in teacups at the Ritz, this is the band that revels in sheer decadence, inviting all to join them on their macabre and stately procession from death.


SHH
www.myspace.com/shhsounds


SHH was formed in 1999 in Buenos Aires when they vowed to give electronic music it's pop back: It needed, lyrics, sophistication, to start telling stories again. Their latest album, “Gaucho Boy” is altogether a sexier, tougher beast. It was produced by cheekypaul, a veteran studio boffin who has worked with the likes of Sasha and Digweed, Jeremy Healy (Dior fashion shows) and the Chemical Brothers. SHH’s music video has even been featured on MTV. SHH are infamous for the wry, wittily observed by catchy lyrics. One of their tracks, Caceria, is the story of a woman, a serial killer, who works as a waitress in a bar, waiting for her next victim to arrive.

The Mexican Spitfire, Blanche Dubois
www.myspace.com/missterblanchedubois

Those who have seen him will remember his gender bending performances and pussy(cat) impersonation. His unique and new interpretation of Pride was a cross dressing, desirable and funny mixture that captivated the crowd.  Enjoy it again, with the video of this performance, online soon.

Tough Love
www.toughloveband.com


Tough Love have been described by the Guardian as "the afrobeat Scissor Sisters" and by Flavorpill as "tribal pop ambassadors".   Their dressed-up live shows are a riot of chanting backing vocals, face paint and Victorian-inspired finery, which might explain why Record of the Day has said that "they look and sound like nothing we have seen in recent times".

Joe Black
www.myspace.com/misterjoeblack


A  unique, seductive, foul mouthed, piano and accordion fronted musical assault, combining a catchy heavy stomp of the foot with the voice equivalent of a blow to the senses, leading you into pounding polkas and whimsical waltzes, it is show tunes for the alternative inclined, the all stomping, all growling, neo vaudevillian,  that is Joe Black.

Mr Mistress

This beautiful, seductive cross dressing, garter belt wearing, unique burlesque performer has just moved from the south of England to grace the London alternative scene with his talents. He is busy creating a special Greed inspired performance especially for us.

Veronika Valentine opened Festival of Sins: Greed.

Lydia Darling
www.myspace.com/lydialashes

Lydia Darling will be treating us to her 'Mistress and Margarita' show,  a satirical take on burlesque for the more literary-minded audience. In this slyly humourous homage to the Bulgakov novel, Lydia is part Dominatrix, part magician, part ringmaster, celebrating the power of greed in truly seductive style.
