"Love is not a light.
You know you see a fog in the morning when you wake up
 before the sun comes out, it takes a little while and then it burns away.
Absolutely It burns away.
Yeah 
Quickly
Love is a fog that burns with the first daylight of reality.”

 Charles Bukowski died 20 years ago in 1994. A romantic, a pervert, a drunk,  a dreamer. A dirty old man. His amazing and totally unique universe literally sucked us in and we ended up buried under tons of his poems, short stories, notes.... The first thing we ever did as a band was choosing five of his poems and setting them to music. We recorded them in the summer of 2011, before the recording of our debut album “Death of The Phantom of The Opera” and kept them safe along with a bottle of cheap red wine, the kind that Bukowski  would have liked.  
And while we kept it them there we were adding finishing touches: We asked Mr Louisiana Red to play something for us, he did it with a smile on his face at the age of 79 and we thank him wherever he is – RIP Mr. Red we hope you're in some kind of paradise with lots of guitars. We asked one of our favourite artists Martyn Jacques of The Tiger Lillies to sing in “Genius of the Crowd” and recite some interludes of Hank's own words. We think he accepted. We are proud.  And for our song “We Will Taste the Islands and The Sea” we got the most precious gift from soprano Nikoleta Kape :  her thrilling voice. And thus, three years after it's initial recording we finally feel it's time to set this album free!

We call ourselves the alchemists of surreal cabaret, haunted by the weird and the damned: Tom Waits and Kurt Weil, Modigliani and Marquis de Sade, Spike Jones, Puccini…
We got a rusted microphone & old weird drums, a drinking piano and crazy minds. We have devoted friends and lifetime music partners and we now have a second album!! We hope that some night soon we'll get the chance to perform these songs for you live, in some club, theatre or even the back yard of your house.  We travel a lot, we play everywhere, we sing for love, for life, “for enough to pay the rent, for scrabbled eggs and bacon, for women, for art, for BUKOWSKI.”

07 AS HANK SAID... IV

GIRL IN A MINI - SKIRT READING THE BIBLE OUTSIDE MY WINDOW
Sunday, I am eating a  grapefruit, 
church is over at the Russian  Orthadox to the  west.  
she is dark  of Eastern descent,  large brown eyes 
look up from the Bible,  then down,
 a small red and black  Bible, and as she reads  her legs keep moving, moving,  she is doing a slow rythmic dance  reading the Bible. . .  
long gold earrings;  2 gold bracelets on each arm,
 and it's a mini-suit, I suppose,
  the cloth hugs her body,  the lightest of tans is that cloth,  
she twists this way and that,  long yellow legs warm in the sun. . .  there is no escaping her being  
there is no desire to. . .  
my radio is playing symphonic music  that she cannot hear
 but her movements coincide exactly  to the rhythms of the  symphony. . .
  she is dark, she is dark 
she is reading about God. 
I am God.

THE GENIUS OF THE CROWD (ft Martyn Jacques of the Tiger Lillies).

there is enough treachery, hatred violence absurdity in the average  human being to supply any given army on any given day  and the best at murder are those who preach against it  and the best at hate are those who preach love  and the best at war finally are those who preach peace
  those who preach god, need god 
those who preach peace do not have peace
 those who preach peace do not have love  
beware the preachers 
beware the knowers
 beware those who are always reading books  beware those who either detest poverty  or are proud of it 
beware those quick to praise  for they need praise in return 
beware those who are quick to censor
 they are afraid of what they do not know
 beware those who seek constant crowds for  they are nothing alone 
beware the average man the average woman  beware their love, their love is average seeks average  
but there is genius in their hatred
 there is enough genius in their hatred to kill you 
to kill anybody 
not wanting solitude  not understanding (it) solitude 
they will attempt to destroy anything  that differs from their own not being able to create art  they will not understand art  
they will consider their failure as creators
 only as a failure of the world 
not being able to love fully  they will believe your love incomplete and then they will hate you  and their hatred will be perfect
  like a shining diamond
 like a knife like a mountain 
like a tiger like hemlock 
their finest art

LYRICS
"Und nun, meine sehr verehrten Damen und Herren, dies ist ein Lied für Anita Berber"


Cocaine – opium – morphine
Chloroform mixed with ether 
Absinthe - alcohol – hashish
Chloroform mixed with ether

There’s a girl, with dark cold eyes & short bright red hair>
Anita, she’s the fire in the streets of Berlin
Sexual desire, she’s a movie star in soft porn naked films.

The fame, the fame, the alcohol, the praise
“What does the shadow wants, cocaine, you animals”

So long Anita, the lovers say goodbye,
 the rivers of gold are praying for your soul 


Since you’ve tasted her
your life will never be the same
once you’ve slept with her
you will never fly up to heaven

Strange flowers, painted people, Otto Dix has painted you wearing your morphine dress
Perverts, prostitutes, syphilis, 
drag queens & lesbians.

She’s dead, dead & she knows it,
disease is killing her, She’s dead
Dead
Dead?
So long Anita, the lovers say goodbye,
 the rivers of gold are praying for your soul 

"Hey, Jungs und Mädels! Lasst uns alle zusammen ein Requiem singen. Ein Requiem für Anita Berber!"  

Cocaine - opium - morphine
She’s Anita Berber

LYRICS
She heard the story of this man
they say he’s evil
he’s the Antichrist
He’s the devil, he is mad
This is him Marquis de Sade

She was sad, she was sad, now she knows what life’s about
she was sad, now she’s wet
because she met Marquis de Sade

Her father was a priest & he swears I tell you this
And he’s drunk all day & night
And he beats his little girl
Yes, he does I tell you sir
And he makes her do some things
much more lustful than you think
Pain & suffer through religion
the cradles of despotism


She was sad, she was sad, now she knows what life’s about
she was sad, now she’s wet
because she met Marquis de Sade

LYRICS
“Questa e` la storia del pittore Amedeo Modigliani e la sua musa Jeanne Hebuterne”
She’s standing still while I paint her, with her sorrowful eyes, her colourful smile
She prays for me while I am drinking
waiting and waiting alone in the night

“Quando conoscrero` la tua anima, dipingero` I tuoi occhi”

Jeanne oh my Jeanne i am crazy I’m wild, when i know your soul i will paint your eyes.


In the mud in the snow i am drinking to death i am painting her face
i am painting her sad like a ghost from the past, like an African mask

“Quando conoscrero` la tua anima, dipingero` I tuoi occhi”

Jeanne oh my Jeanne I’m crazy I’m wild, when i know your soul i will paint your eyes.

LYRICS
A POEM BY EDGAR ALLAN POE
In visions of the dark night 
I have dreamed of joy departed
But a waking dream of life and light 
Hath left me broken-hearted. 

Ah! what is not a dream by day 
To him whose eyes are cast 
On things around him with a ray 
Turned back upon the past? 

That holy dream that holy dream, 
While all the world were chiding, 
Hath cheered me as a lovely beam 
A lonely spirit guiding. 

What though that light, thro' storm and night, 
So trembled from afar 
What could there be more purely bright 
In Truth's day-star?

Opera Chaotique - "A Dream" (E.A. Poe)ft Adrian Stout (Tiger Lillies)

The Alchemists of Surreal Cabaret.

What happens when an opera singer/pianist and a jazz drummer hook up and put their alchemist cloaks on?
Opera Chaotique’s music cauldron contains all sorts of ingredients: Arias and African vibes, Jazz riffs and Punk growls, tender lullabies and gothic nightmares. Heat the potion up next to a piano and a drum kit, add a bundle of twisted tales, generously season with twisted humour, stir well, bring to the boil and... enjoy Opera Chaotique’s utterly unique crossover Cabaret show.

With an imposing armoury of original songs from their two albums “Death of the Phantom of the Opera” and “Poems of a Dirty Old Man”, as well as with as-good-as- new cover versions ranging from Tom Waits to Spike Jones, Opera Chaotique are in the habit of taking the stage by storm. And there’s always plenty of action in an Opera Chaotique gig, as they might only be a duo but they have on their side a whole bunch of (mostly) friendly ghosts, whose stories they twist, turn and narrate like post- modern troubadours, taking the audience to faraway places and times where just about anything is possible: even a heart-to-heart between Marquis de Sade and Charles Bukowski.
Infused with remarkably creative musicianship and impressively imaginative storytelling Opera Chaotique’s live performances could only be described as a feast of surrealism, with explosive music and deviant theatrics.
Opera Chaotique were formed in 2011 by Tenorman (aka George Tziouvaras) and Voodoo Drummer (aka Chris Koutsogiannis). Before joining forces and turning their backs to respectable music, they both led promising careers in their respective music genres.

As an opera singer, pianist and composer, George Tziouvaras has performed with many Symphony Orchestras and worked with artists such as Ennio Morricone and Cheryl Studer. He’s sung some of opera’s most famous parts and composed original music for theatre plays.
Chris Koutsogiannis has toured the world as a jazz and blues drummer, performing live and recording with many artists, including Meschiya Lake and Michael Dotson. His research on the roots of drumming has brought him to amazing places like Cuba, Brazil and West Africa.

Opera Chaotique’s unique music style and captivating live performances, have got them rave reviews and a growing cult following. The band has toured extensively in Europe and beyond, performing in a wide range of venues: from theatres to Goth clubs, and Jazz bars to Rock festivals. Some of their most recent appearances include venues such as Stuttgart’s Theaterhaus, Berlin’s White Trash, Barcelona’s Harlem Jazz Club and festivals like as UK’s Secret Garden Party and Wilderness and Athens’ Rockwave.

“A musical experience entirely unique, deep and well made” – thus spoke Where Y’at Magazine of New Orleans, about Opera Chaotique’s debut album “Death of the Phantom of the Opera”, featuring Bob Brozman and Tuxedomoon’s Bleine Reininger.

The band will soon release its second album, “Poems of a Dirty Old Man”, inspired by Charles Bukowski, with very special guest artists Lousiana Red and the Tiger Lillies’ frontman Martyn Jacques.
