	Tiger Lillies :: news
		Martyn: Being on an airplane yesterday was hell for me. There was a nice young woman who spoke for two hours 41 minutes, which was the duration of the flight from Dallas to Los Angeles.
		Martyn: We're doing "Little Match Girl" as a show, which is a story about a little girl who freezes to death in the snow.
		Martyn: So if we meet any funny people, strange or unusual people we are always quite keen to work with them, collaborate and stuff.

	OVATION - Programming Highlights & Schedules The Tiger Lillies in Concert (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Before founding the Tiger Lillies, Martyn Jacques spent seven years training himself as an opera singer with the castrati style of voice for six years while living in solitude above a brothel in London’s Soho.
		Rendering the stories of pimps, prostitutes, con-men and thieves with his angelic voice, Jacques is a one man crusade against the powers of censorship, repression, and mediocrity.
		Jacques’ unique musical mayhem is anchored by percussionist Adrian Huge who is not afraid to use a drum kit consisting solely of silverware and spatulas, and double bass player Adrian Stout who cavorts around the stage dressed in leder hosen and a kilt, in a bizarre tribute to the folk dances of Austria.

		And with the elegant right-hander set to resume on 106 this morning, Martyn is again well positioned to lead his side to an impenetrable position in a potentially series-sealing Test.
		His work was largely undone in the final session of play, when Adam Gilchrist (45 not out from 46 deliveries) and Martyn plundered 90 runs from the last 89 balls of the day to thrust Australia within sight of another menacing total.
		Martyn raised his 12th career Test century with an elegant glide to the third-man boundary, prompting scenes of celebration in the Australian dressing rooms.

	RelishNow \| Tiger Lillies make most of their macabre topics, unusual sounds
		The hulking lead singer, Martyn Jacques, plays the accordion, ukulele and piano and sings in a falsetto voice that belies his physical size.
		Jacques, with a long ponytail that reaches down his back and his face painted white, is an almost ethereal figure, alternating his singular voice between whispers and screams.
		During the Brooklyn concert, Jacques approached the microphone near the end of the performance and inquired in a menacing whisper if there were any requests.

		On Martyn, it’s a DPA 4061, and the same for the bass player’s vocal mic.
		Martyn has an accordion, which doesn’t need a lot of pushing for that small of a house.

	Arts \| Gorey by name ...
		Gorey's next correspondence was a large cardboard box containing a stone that looked like a frog (and would, Gorey promised, turn into one if stared at long enough), and a neatly organised pile of his as yet unillustrated, unpublished works.
		Jacques spent a few months learning the songs so he could perform them to Gorey in person.
		The album radiates the author's humour, but tales of a baby being ripped to pieces and a prostitute dying of a "loathsome disease" seem far more gothic and alarming when sung in Jacques's eerie falsetto, accompanied by the band's lurching clatter.

	Fairfield University :: Raucous British band The Tiger Lillies take the stage at the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts

	Struwwelpeter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The response of audience and critics led to three extended returns to the Lyric Hammersmith as well as runs in London's West End and world tours, with a slightly shorter but faster-moving show.
		For all but one of the runs, the show featured the Tiger Lillies, an English cabaret act best known for their eccentric musical style and the falsetto voice of the lead singer Martyn Jacques, and they have a CD featuring the songs from Shockheaded Peter [1].
		Peter's frightful appearance is intentionally mirrored in that of the titular character in the 1991 film Edward Scissorhands, unable to groom himself due to having been created as an artificial man with scissors instead of hands, and having similarly messy hair to Peter's, and sharp scissors where Peter had untamed fingernails.

	Review of Circa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Jacques' nightmare-Child Catcher persona as vocalist, and the rhythm section of Adrian Huge and Adrian Stout, flank the stage as Noam Gagnon and Dana Gringras begin an extraordinarily triste tango, falling into one another, as if the steps of the dance were their only support and sustenance.
		The music is largely drawn from Jacques and company's 2000 album Circus Songs: tales of lowlifes such as the raddled roué who shows carny visitors his bodily "Souvenirs" and the battered tattooed lady "Pretty Lisa".
		And it is a dialogue in which, for all that he may go through the motions of self-effacement, Martyn Jacques will always be sure to dominate.

		Jacques argued that such songs as “Sheep” are simply a truthful reflection of reality.

		Castrato crooner Martyn Jacques leads the band with his accordion, accompanied (and occasionally upstaged) by a pair of Adrians: Stout on double bass and Huge on drums.
		An unholy merger between Edith Piaf and Kurt Weill, Martyn Jacques voice has been described as Tom Waits on helium, and the band have been creating a cultish stir through Europe, and since their last visit to Australia in 1998.

		Jacques, who sings and plays accordion, is backed by double-bass player Adrian Stout and drummer Adrian Huge, whose appearance was once described by David Byrne as "James Joyce on drums."
		However, the penchant for weirdness is not a purely Russian prerogative, according to Jacques.
		Jacques said the forthcoming concerts at Red Club will differ a lot from its first local show, held at the unlikely venue of the Manege Central Exhibition Hall, which he described as "a government town-hall type of place, with pictures on the walls."

		Frontman Martyn Jacques wears a Felliniesque clown’s face but resembles a broken marionette.
		At times he plays an accordion, strums a ukulele, or performs stark, brooding tunes on the piano, but his distinguishing feature may be his relentless falseto.
		On stage, Jacques is framed by bassist Adrian Stout and drummer Adrian Huge, names that give one pause, and both gentlemen — who are content to let Jacques monkey around to his fl heart’s content — reveal themselves as true craftsmen.

	Variety.com - Reviews - The Little Match Girl
		Martyn Jacques, the unique, haunting voice of the Lillies, has penned a dozen songs that form a stream-of-consciousness take on the grim tale of a little girl who burns up her wares in a failed effort to keep from freezing to death.
		With the Lillies dressed in musty red top hats, the overall feel is of a surreal music hall panto, complete with cross-dressing, a glass of Scotch dumped on the crotch and a banana peel tossed on the ground.
		As Jacques sings of being "alone with the man on the moon," Goody's sagging white ass is glimpsed through the smallest of the proscenia.

		Tango, the most recognizable and sexually explicit of social dances, was used as a consistent theme and metaphor throughout the 60-minute piece.

		The Tiger Lillies are Adrian Huge (drums and toys), Martyn Jaques (vocals, piano, organ, accordion and uke), Adrian Stout (bass, musical saw and horn)
		Gorey, and there are moments when the linguistic precision and care of Edward is somewhat brushed aside by the demands of the song, but these - all in all - do not disturb this listener's ear to any great degree.
		The vocals of Martyn Jaques are to be particularly noted, as they dive in an out of Victorian hysteria, sometimes doing a grim march to the grave, and often erupting into melo-dramatic flourishes quite appropriate to the subject matter, which ranges from a weird alphabet to a learned pig to Gorey's mysterious universal compound QRV.

		As the lights dimmed Martyn Jacques, the Tiger Lillies front man, hobbled out looking like Mr Grainger in 'Are You Being Served' meets 'Clockwork Orange'.
		With that opening, we took off on a ghost train fairground ride through the burlesque horror of the travelling circus into the lives of prostitutes, pimps, drug addicts, pickpockets, perverts and freaks.
		With a rich blend of circus themes, Bavarian folk songs, savage polkas and French chanson the Lillies ballads were as always bizarre, rich, dramatic and haunting.
