About this concert
Cesarians always have as much a cerebral aspect to their remarkable outsider chanson as an intensely emotional one ... intensity, songcraft, passion and raw emotions. Something dark, beautiful and inordinately powerful comes your way. Nobody else does what they do, although there maybe some artful goodness to chew on for fans of Nick Cave, Jacques Bel, Scott Walker, Bowie, and of late edgy electronica artists like Goldfrapp. New material is about to be launched in the form of a heart rending new album centred around some very harrowing and deeply personal subject matter, as singer Charlie Finke says 'Every word and every note is performed with utter passion and commitment' ...that's certainly readily apparent when you watch this band perform live. And The Water Rats is a venue that fits them beautifully, don't miss.
Starsha Lee- Talking of passion and commitment, you most assuredly get that with bells on from a Starsha Lee show. Starsha Lee, the artist, singer, front person, gives it her absolute all, as Starsha Lee, the ferocious post grunge psych punk rocknroll band plug into some feral but psychologically pregnant primal wigging out. She screams, she thrashes, she disrobes, she convulses and gurgles and yes it is art. For fans of Yoko Ono, The Stooges, Diamanda Gallas, Nirvana....
Graeme Flynn and Co. - Back in the 1990s Charlie from Cesarians fronted Penthouse and Graeme Flynn was the bassist in that amazing full on punk blues experience, an incredibly powerful bass presence at that. Having had stints with various other bands, including alongside Jim Jones post Thee Hypnotics pre Jim Jones Revue, Graeme unveils his new project tonight 8pm sharp.

The Cesarians Biography
"The Cesarians are not a pop band. They could never have been manufactured, manipulated or otherwise pre-masticated for public consumption. The Cesarians do not trade in the trite or the mundane. The Cesarians know and love music, what makes it as important as breathing, an understanding that runs deep within their bones. Their songs speak of love, loss, redemption, terror and absurdity: all of life’s riches and tragedies alchemised into the greatest live performance you could ever wish to see. The Cesarians think big, think shocking: like Ken Russell directing a Lee Bowery ballet in a Bauhaus- constructed set to a score composed by Mahler and performed by The Residents – no restraints, no compromise, no need to be like everybody else. They remind you of why you fell in love in the first place: all that drama, all that beauty, all dressed up and somewhere to go. The Cesarians are a magnificent triumph of the electric eclectic, a bunch of renegades who live on the river, tapping the source of London’s eternal energy. Following no musical map but that of their own instincts, transforming what can be done with the instruments they play, subverting all notions of genre, tradition and boundaries. Everything is to be relished within The Cesarians’ epic soundtracks, every abrupt change of chord, every tremor of brass, every violin skirmish and keyboard swell, every last tender obscenity that drops from their lips.Free yourself from the miasmas of thecommonplace. Listen to them play and your dreams will come back to you" Cathi Unsworth The Cesarians are: Justine Armatage: Piano, Violin, Writer Charlie Finke: Singer, Writer, Mercury in Vanian’s clothing Budge Magraw: Alpine Bass Beverley Crome aka The Yorkshire Maria Callas: French Horn, Trumpet, Voice Christine Lehmann: Virtuoso Violin Ed Grimshaw: Drumming from the Soul "This lot are in a class of their own" THE TIMES "Glitteringly gloomy ... thrillingly seedy ... deliciously creepy" TIME OUT
