The forefathers of Brechtian Punk Cabaret, THE TIGER LILLIES, were founded in 1989 and 20 years later their sound remains one of the most unique and original things one could come across. The TIGER LILLIES stood out immediately for their distinct sound and style and worked their way up from  London pubs to the Piccadilly Theatre and buskers’ benches to the Sidney Opera House. Soon the TIGER LILLIES were touring the world giving concerts and participating in various art and theatre projects. A couple of highlights in their career was the Olivier Award they won for the cult hit musical ‘Shockheaded Peter’ and the Grammy nomination for their album ‘The Gorey End’. In 20 years the TIGER LILLIES have released 21 albums, participated in numerous shows and toured most of the world, never seizing to surprise, shock and entertain their audience with their inimitably deviant musical style.

In the early 90s the Tiger Lillies were to be found in London pubs, Edinburgh Fringe venues, bars in the Czech Republic and salad bars in Switzerland, as well as busking in the streets of noumerous towns all over Europe. When asked aboaut their peculiar musical style, their founder, Martyn Jaques would call it Brechtian Punk Cabaret, a term that 20 years later has become widely acceptable to the point of THE TIGER LILLIES defying it. Their music is a mixture of pre-war Berlin cabaret, anarchic opera and gypsy music, echoing the voices of Bertolt Brecht and Jacques Brel. The Tiger Lillies shock, amuse and entertain in a postmodern vaudeville way, with their inimitable in-yer-face shows, where no limit should be taken for granted.
