Join us for the Big John Bates album release celebration for new album "From the Bestiary To The Leathering Room", a May Day tour kick-off party for their upcoming six week European tour! Joined by musical cabaret extravaganza the VaudeVille Vagabonds, The Still Spirits' intoxicating blend of folk and bluegrass, and rockabilly rock'n'roll tunes spun by DJ Thee Swingin' Creeper, this one of a kind special event at The Hindenburg is a must see!
BIG JOHN BATES crafts an atmospheric southern gothic landscape, spinning dark cabaret, rustic blues, edgy punk and wild, post-apocalyptic outlaw rock augmented by a dark and dynamic cellist. With blinding intensity and spellbinding stage chemistry, their awe-inspiring, bass contorting, stage jumping, sparks-a-flying live performances have thrilled audiences at more than a thousand shows in 17 countries throughout North America and Europe. http://www.bigjohnbates.com
REVEREND HEATHEN STRANGEFELLOW & The VAUDEVILLE VAGABONDS is a gypsy rock circus show with live music, exotic belly dancers, contortion, sword swallowing, clowns, audience game shows and even werewolves fighting Mexican wrestlers! Their shows are akin to a grass roots Cirque du Soleil in the form of a swing/rock band with coed vocals, standup bass, accordion, clarinet, baritone saxophone and drums. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Heathen-Strangefellow-The-Vaudeville-Vagabonds/196539523717512
The STILL SPIRITS - Always ready with a flask of moonshine and a hat full of change, The Still Spirits have the tunes to put you in that olde time mood. Formed after they discovered how to make booze cheaper than the liquor store, their intoxicating blend of folk and bluegrass is fueled by banjo, mandolin, harmonica, washboard, double bass and their own specially crafted brew! http//www.facebook.com/thestillspirits
