Cabaret Rock - the words and the tune are everything. Sweet melodies, barbed lyrics and beautiful songs.

notes

Tim (Lyrics and guitar) used to be married to Poppy (Vocals and backing vocals), who works with Jo (Guitar and backing vocals) and is the sister of Johnny (Drums, programming, bass, guitar, piano, vocals, backing vocals and writes the music) who is married to Leilani (Backing vocals). Huw (Bass, tenor horn, baritone horn and backing vocals) and Johnny were at school with Sally (Vocals and backing vocals) and Cathy (Backing vocals).

Hi!

Tim and Johnny have been writing songs together for years, mixing sweet, lyrical music with words that explore the cynicism and anger of modern life, so you won't find any love songs on this album, except perhaps "Japanese Girl", which looks at Internet Porn or "Heather's In Love", which is a love song in a twisted, ironic way ... Oh yes, and "Drifting": a soft song about abandonment and loneliness. On the other hand, "Wives And Servants" is a celebration of the 60 as seen through crystal clear hindsight, lit only by "the tiny bonfire of a burning bra" while "Plastic Blow-up Tears" grooves on modern consumerism and "Plenty City" portrays and post-apocalyptical world where "The dogs come drooling, howling your name". Which leaves "Nobel Prize", our tribute to those hash-leavened, late-night certainties and "Redemption", which we all seek to sweeten the dull ache of our guilt.

So that's us and those are the songs. Tell us what you think through the CDBaby site.

    Diversely entertaining, intellectual and musical. Thoroughly enjoyed it. My unbiased opinion; despite being the bass/horn player's cousin! See you in Aberaeron Huw!

  • You ain't heard nothin' yet!
    author: Erazmus Jebadiah O'Mally

    I came to this album because I had heard their second album Plans For Love on MySpace and loved it. This CD is, it is true, rougher in sound and shorter, but the song-writing is just as good. So if you like this one, check out the other one. Raz.

    This CD is an eye opener,hidden talent for far too many years. There is no doubt in my mind that Wives & Servants -1. Should be on the billboard top 10 cd's 2. The lyricist is capable of anything To sum up - a brilliant avant garde cd - highly recommended

  • That's far too cheapified
    author: George W Bush

    Seldom have I heard such sensetivivicatory musisicianshipness. The price quotified is far too low. I would willingly pay $40.00 for this collectable collection, which can heal the sick and ward off bad luck, in addition to being an entertaininfying audatory experiensification. God bless America W
