Live photos and a new interview too

There's some great new photos online, and a video too, from the gig we played last Saturday in London at Elektrowerkz! They're all courtesy of Mr. Medwyn Jones (thanks Med) and I think they're rather nice - I hope you like them too.

Toodle pip!

Live Headline show in London!

Cor blimey! Innit marvellous, eh?

A New video for an Old song

Here's another recently 'un-earthed' video that Graeme Robertson made, this time for the track called 'Give It To Me' off my previous album 'Product For Your Insecurity' from 2006.

Graeme suggested doing a clip for this song, even though it wasn't on a single, because it's one of his favourites and he'd had the idea to do this simple-yet-bitchy kind of 'direct to camera' style treatment for it, and it's come out really well... take a look at it on You Tube anyway, I hope you agree :)

Me? Singing in German? With my reputation?

The current single 'GBH' includes a few different versions of the song, but notably a version called 'GBH in Deutsche' which features me singing in German! 'How is this possible?' I hear you cry! Well, I had a considerable amount of help from a good friend of mine from Germany, Connie Werner, who took my original lyrics and cleverly re-interpereted them into German.

As it's such an unusual thing to have done, I asked Connie if she'd perhaps write a few paragraphs about the work we'd done together, to put on the website, which she kindly agreed to do.

So, without any further ado, I hope you enjoy reading about Connie's experiences of working on 'GBH in Deutsche', here on the Lyrics page!

Also, don't forget, the next live show is a headline gig at Elektrowerkz in London on Saturday 16th May!

More live news, another new video clip, 2 ironing boards and a saucepan.

The next Mechanical Cabaret live outing is a headline gig (whoo!) on Saturday 16th May, at Elektrowerkz in Islington, London... the full details of which can be found on none other than the Live Dates page, would you believe?!!

Also, on the Downloads page you will now find a nice wee video clip edited together by Graeme Robertson using footage he shot at the recent gig I played in Preston, set to the sound of the current single 'GBH'! This features yours truly and a load of synths, this time including Graeme's Moog Prodigy and Korg Micropreset, plus a saucepan percussion incident and two rather fetching ironing boards for stands (thanks to Jane for providing those at such short notice... x)

New Live video clip

Take a look at the Downloads page to see the first video clip to be uploaded from my recent gig at Elektrofest; Disbehave!

In it, you'll see me flitting about between playing and twiddling knobs on several different *synths, as well as singing and hitting things and so on. Anyway, I hope you like it!

{*For the synth 'enthusiasts' out there, the synths in questions were: a Jen SX1000, a JHS SD1 drum synth, an EMS Polysynthi and an EMS Synthi A}

Next Live date

The next live date is on Saturday 18th of April. I'm going to be playing for none other than Miss Jane 616 and her merry band of fellow miscreants at her fabulous 'double-ender' club night Dark-Cide/Electro-Cide in Preston! It's been a while since Mechanical Cabaret has made it back to the North of England, and I'm really looking forward to it.

New album 'Damaged Goods' and new single 'GBH' - Out Now!

The new Mechanical Cabaret album 'Damaged Goods' and the single 'GBH' have now been released by Major Records Medien GmbH. Damaged Goods is available as a CD or download, and GBH is available as a download only.

You can place an order for the CD (i.e. not the downloads!) from Major Records - just email svenja@majorrecords.de with your name and address, & the number of CD albums you want, and they'll do the rest! Major Records' CD prices are £9.90 or €10.90 and their CD Packing and Postage costs are: Germany: €2.00, Europe: €3.50, World: €6.50

Obviously you can also order the CD and preview and/or Download both the album and single from all kinds of music websites online like Music Non-Stop.co.uk(English), Musicload.de and Poponaut.de(German) but be warned, some places are charging strange prices! I even found one place selling the album for the bizarre asking price of $47.98!! A little steep perhaps...
