EVIL GENIUS 3: FATHER CHRISTMAS 14TH OR 21ST DEC2009 brings the CARPENTERS songbook and the genius of EUROVISION, RAY DAVIES and if we can get away with it, THE RUTLES....BITCHIN'GENIUS is a series of shows dedicated to legacy artists that ran off with our dinner money and got us through growing pains. Some taught us to play. Some came late and dragged us up a different ginnel.
EVIL GENIUS nights pay homage to the dark arts of pure pop gold. Dirty little secrets we may or may not hide from the cool police.
Creative artists from the four stylistic corners of the north west gather and meet at the genius in the middle. We kicked off with SERGE GAINSBOURG, November 07.
