The Last Days of Decadence presents a weekly extravaganza of sophisticated Grand Voodoo Deluxe!

Featuring the cream of London and the wider world's live music, cabaret performers and DJs stirring up a fizzing, crackling brew of Saturday night excess. Drink Deeply, If you dare!

 

Featuring:

Snakebone

"A contagious concoction of Boogie Blues, Jumpin Jazz, and Rockin Rhythms. Tony Diavolo's Snakebone consists of some of London's top retro styled musicians. They twisted and improvised confidently through an ecclectic set with a mix of moods to satisfy everyone watching. Don't miss them next time they're in your town." - Blues Review.

The Bohemianauts

Apocalyptic lyrics of fear, dread and elder gods adorn accordion-driven polkas, tangos and gypsy swing. The soundtrack to Kurt Weill's fever dreams reimagined by H.P. Lovecraft.

Kitty Bang Bang

Condensed sex bomb, ballerina, burlesque dancer, self-proclaimed idiot and official contender for the title of World's Smallest Biker, Ms Bang Bang is a notorious drunkard and libertine known locally as the scourge of London's backstages. As likely to cut you as she is to vomit on your shoes or curl up to sleep in your hat, Kitty is an arresting and captivating performer.

Roxy Velvet

The bastard child of Sally Bowles and Vogue-era Madonna, Roxy Velvet has recently been found tottering across the cobbles in Camden's Proud Galleries interrogating up and coming music stars for Don't Panic TV and occasionally swinging from the rafters for our good friends Be Events. Lately starring in music videos for The Hoosiers and Tricky and otherwise spinning in her Birdcage for the titillation of the rich and famous. Roxy was raised by wolves in the wilds of Dagenham before being adopted by a travelling circus.

DJ Snakester

A mainstay DJ at London's infamous Lady Luck club and also a graduate of the Elephants head and Monarch blues boogie nights. A record collector with an encyclopaedic knowledge and a record bag to match (not to mention one of London's finest collections of hats), if this guy doesn't have you dancing then you may well already be dead!

Ben De Vere

It may have taken us some time, but eventually we tracked down this enigmatic character's MySpace. His musical interests include 'Early Rhythm n'Blues, Swing, Rockabilly, Blues, Rock n' Roll, anything on the Sun, Chess, or Atlantic labels, Nina Simone, Nina Simone, Nina Simone...'. Beyond this we know little about him other than that he wears a very large hat, plays some devilishly good records and that we like him. You will like him too.
