It's Gappy Tooth's Refracted Cabaret!
Start the night with Volkenfunk, a Teutonic maestro who was thought to be dead after being buried in the great Dortmund synth avalanche of '83, recently discovered in a dessicated state beneath a couple of Korgs and brought back to life by immersion in Goldschlager.
Next up, Gemma Moss, a black-minded rich-voiced goth torch singer. Like Emilie Autumn, but darker; like Tom Waits, but more tender; like Kurt Weill, but nakeder.
Nonstop Tango arrive next, a band that rose from the rich musical soup of Oxford's improv community, telling strange tales, weaving dense rhythmic spells and beating jazz into a bloody pulp round the back.
Finally, we finish with The Shapes, who bring a bit of melodic normalcy to poceedings, with some classic tunes somewhere between Squeeze, Elvis Costello and a Midwest barndance. Let your hair down. Sing along, Have a dance. Try to forget what you have done.
