Live From The Flying Duck: The 2 Critics get 2 Cabaret

And welcome another live review from The Mighty Vile Arts. We've got the host Gareth K Vile and his faithful sidekick Eric on the keyboard, and we'd like to give a big thank you to the Flying Duck. They lent us this really smart computer, so I guess they are our first media partners.

GKV: You know, Eric, I think the Flying Duck is somewhere The Vile Arts can feel at home. They have a wide variety of vegan food choices, and they put on interesting events. Like tonight, we've got the launch of the Scunnner album as part of a variety bill... In five minutes we'll be heading into the club, but before we go - how are you enjoying the Duck's ambiance?

EK: Well, it's loud, as a bar should be, with music that seems to range from hip hop to rock. But I'm not sure about those lights though... neon blue? Not sure... But it's too early to make a judgement - it's my first time here!

GKV: Glad to see you are admitting you are a Ducking Virgin tonight, Eric. Those lights remind me of my bedroom when I was a youngster like you. (Eric, they've let us use this cool computer. Be nice!)

EK: The computer is very nice, and shiny... but how is that relevant to the performance we are going to see? Not that we're impartial - we are critics after all - but we can sort of distance ourselves from the audience.

GKV: Let us use the laptop is a good example of how lovely this place is. Plus the bar staff are very attractive... Anyway, we are here tonight to see whether Scunner have made good on their promise to make their new album just the right amount of cabaret. They've brought the classic Spangled vibe over from their usual haunt at the Rio Cafe - the amazing Creative Martyrs are on the bill, a magician, and even some burlesque, I think. In fact, I believe you've seen Wild Card Kitty before, Eric.

EK: It always comes back to the burlesque, doesn't it? Wild Card Kitty... sounds familiar, but I am getting old -

GKV: One old fart on the team is enough, and that's my job: to be the conservative voice and know stuff. Anyway, drink up that lovely and cheap coffee and let's get this uploaded...
