Twisted hipsters

Cult London 3-piece The Tiger Lillies, who play a twisted fusion of 1930s' Berlin cabaret and avant garde music hall in deranged, anarchic gypsy style, hope to entertain and shock audiences (never mind their dodgy spelling of lilies). Their songs cover topics as touchy as blasphemy, bestiality, rape, murder and lowlifes with full-on theatrics. Enjoy being shocked? Then listen to some of their albums: Brothel to the Cemetery, Farmyard Filth, Ad Nauseam, Shockheaded Peter and Circus Songs.
Auckland TownHall, Feb 7-9. Tickets at Ticketek, 307 5000 or see www.ticketek.co.nz.
