The Jump Cats
The Jump Cats are a swingin' jump blues band that plays an uptempo style of blues that you can dance to. Their music harks back to the 40's and 50's when rhythm and blues was big on the scene with music from the likes of Louis Jordan, Tiny Bradshaw and later from artists such as Hollywood Fats.
The Jump Cats are a four piece band with Mark (Harpo) Greenway on guitar, Alf Mott on the skins, Jeff Walters on Bass and Chris (Stibbo) Hanger on Vocals and blues harp.
Enemies of Grooviness Eat Sh!t
“Grumble does not belong to me, she belongs to the universe. Like the fractal landscape of a flower, like a drag face on the bum of a caterpillar. She has held me, and at this threshold of maturation, I let her become and unbecome me. Thank You Body!” – Emma May Gibson (aka Betty Grumble)
After a decade of playing within her spiritual access point and avatar, Betty Grumble performance artist Emma Maye Gibson re-emerges, bringing her latest offering Enemies of Grooviness Eat Sh!t back to the stage as a mantric wish.
Across the season, Gibson returns Grumble from whence she came, performing an unfurling of the eco-feminist seeping carapace that gave her a way to heal, feel and defy the damn enemies of grooviness that keep her, them, you, all of us down.
Conjured as an antidote to the ever-present cultures of violence and ecocide, Enemies of Grooviness Eat Sh!t is poetry, a tribute, a rock n roll performance art collision, love scene and revenge fantasy. An unshaming dance and chance to allow ourselves to be seen, it is a sensual, surreal and sublime experience of an all singing, dancing, howling and loving cabaret du Sex Clown.
Tickets: Standard $35 // Reduced $20 // BLAKTIX $10
