Best. Polka & Western. Ever.
Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen sailed into town at dusk, so I headed off to the Polish club for the circus. For those of you unfamiliar with the winter Canberra cabaret scene, the Black Sea Gentlemen are high weirdness of the finest kind. Talented musicians, brilliant lyricists, comic actors, and great performers, they are probably my favorite unplugged troupe between here and Salvador da Bahia. So if you’ve never experienced the urge to dance on a table to a cheery ballad of unrequited cannibalism, check them out.
On invisible wings
Even fools can fly
For dreams are made of water
And clouds are made of sky
