Joe Black, Birdeatsbaby and Downing Street Years

This week’s Thursday Hong Kong Gardeners Club’s Fat Fox evening will feature the inimitable Mr Joe Black bringing the Birdeatsbaby crew along with him for a night of theatrics and insanity.

Joe Black
Arch Vaudevillian man of many talents, expect a suitably theatrical and bonkers performance from our very own Mr Joe Black.

Birdeatsbaby
Not too long ago, before disillusion had taken over, shy and troubled musician, Mishkin Mullaly met shy and troubled artist, Philippa Bloomfield, in the seedy remains of Brighton’s alternative music scene. After several failed attempts to create something with guitars, the two girls accepted that their music would never quite be ‘punk-rock’, and added a violinist in the form of Keely McDonald. The Irish fiddle player, who had wandered far from her roots, suddenly found herself deep in conversation with the band’s lead singer on a shared bus route one day. And so it had begun…

After realizing their potential to form a band like no other, they coined the name Birdeatsbaby – a frightening and unforgettable title to match the songs which were quickly unravelling before their eyes and ears. After an awkward and rather timid first performance, the addition of Garry Mitchell (bass), and Ella Stirmey (Cello), completed the sound and image of this unusual, and somewhat unassuming band

PLUS Downing Street Years and DJing from Mr Joe Black himself. £3 on the door which open at 8pm. Check the Facebook event for more details.
