The Tiger Lillies are a group led by the twisted and brilliant accordionist Martyn Jacques. With Adrian Huge on drums and firecrackers, and Adrian Stout on double bass, musical saw, and backup vocals, they make a striking trio, performing a marvellous blend of gypsy circus cabaret, traditional English vaudeville, and Weill-esque operattas with a dash of Brechtian stagecraft. Their songs' thematic content tends to focus on death, religion, circus life, seafaring creeps, pimps, prostitutes, rent boys, bestiality, drugs, and the seedier side of life.
