Lineup and details for Mr Diagonal and the Black Light Orchestra on Friday 24th February 2012
Brussels-based Mr Diagonal and the Black Light Orchestra are fast becoming one of the most singular and intruiging cabaret-pop phenomena in the galaxy.
Combining Belgian surrealism, English pop and classical orchestration,
their deranged, wide-ranging theatre music incorporates elements of
Brecht and Weil, Noėl Coward, Van Dyke Parks, Monty Python, Frank Zappa,
Tom Waites, Douglas Adams and the Residents.
The Black Light Orchestra is led by mainman Mr Diagonal (aka Scottish-born pianist/singer/actor Dan Barbenel), hailed as «clearly a genius» and «the rightful hier of Van Dyke Parks».
He is aided and abetted by 4 crazed multi-instrumentalists from the Brussels scene; on piccolo/alto flute, baritone/alto sax, bass guitar, analogue keyboards, drums, guitar, glockenspiel, typewriter and coconuts.
