Miranda Sex Garden + Bleedingblackwood

This gig is for a standing audience.

The beast has arisen! Having laid dormant for over two decades, Miranda Sex Garden re-emerged to play a sold out reunion show at the legendary 100 Club Oxford Street last year.

Formed in 1990, the band pioneered a unique sound blending madrigals with dark industrial rock. Following the success of albums including Madra, Suspiria and Fairytales of Slavery, in 2000 the band created their most accessible yet explosive record Carnival of Souls. Widely toured but never formally released, that lost album was the last recorded work of the band.

Responding to great demand for more shows, Miranda Sex Garden will be embarking on a UK tour, led by founding member Katharine Blake as vocalist with Trevor Sharpe on drums, Teresa Casella on bass and Mike Servent on keyboards. Founding guitarist Ben Golomstock died in 2018, but his sound lives on through Kavus Torabi (Cardiacs, Gong). Performer Bev Lee Harling completes the group.

Katharine Blake will be known to many as the founder of classical chart topping group Mediæval Bæbes, who have released 11 studio albums and received an Ivor Novella award and two Emmy nominations for their unique choral sound.

Expect a barrage of intense soundscapes, ethereal vocals, and seductive incessancy. This unholy reunion is not to be missed.
