MIKELANGELO is one of the great songwriters & performers of his time and has toured the world as a star of the Olivier Award winning production La Clique. THE BLACK SEA GENTLEMEN are his formidable musical ensemble and together they have packed houses and enthralled audiences and critics from the Sydney Opera House to Budapest to Edinburgh to London and beyond. Devilishly handsome, musically brilliant, audaciously entertaining, MIKELANGELO AND THE BLACK SEA GENTLEMEN now launch their new album 'Dead Men Tell A Thousand Tales'. Dripping with romance, adventure and desire, this is a collection of darkly humourous, highly emotive songs and stories exploring death as a vital and essential celebration of life. Many groups claim to defy convention and definition, but Mikelangelo and his gentlemen challenge the very notion of genre with their intelligent, irreverent and entertaining layering of musical, theatrical and cinematic influences. These diverse influences are seamlessly resolved in a unique style that they refer to as Kabaret Noir. A cabinet of curiosities stacked with twelve macabre and delightful tunes that will get under your skin and warm the cockles of even the coldest heart.
