Anton Barbeau & Charming Disaster Live

December 8, 2023 @ 8:00 pm

$20

Anton Barbeau + Charming Disaster Live @ The Melon Ball Friday, 12/08/2023 8:00PM

Event Code:  120823TICKET

Description

The one-and-only Anton Barbeau is back with his California band “The Maude Squad” for a rare double bill at The Melon Ball.  The Maude Squad is Tom Monson – Drums, Jeff Simons – Bass, Kevin Allison – Guitar, and Julia VBH – Keyboard & Backing Vocals.
“Anton Barbeau represents the Sacramento chapter of that nameless coterie of enduringly reliable, acid-tinged singer-songwriters that includes XTC’s Andy Partridge, Robyn Hitchcock, Julian Cope and the Bevis Frond’s Nick Saloman. His new album bathes beautifully constructed, thoughtfully arranged songs in a fading psychedelic sunshine, and it would be many casual consumers’ album of the year if only they got to hear it. Four stars.”
—Sunday Times
Joining Anton & The Maude Squad this time is Brooklyn NY-based Charming Disaster – a goth-folk musical duo formed in 2012 by Ellia Bisker & Jeff Morris.  Inspired by the macabre humor of Edward Gorey and Tim Burton, the murder ballads of the Americana tradition and the dramatic flair of the cabaret, they write songs that tell stories about death, crime, myth, magic, folklore, science and the occult.
