Guy Chambers' monthly excursion into 21st century cabaret. This month offers the rootsy funk Jon Allen, The Go Sees, famous burlesque performer Vicky Butterfly & the Orgasmatron Orchestra providing quadraphonic sound from all corners of Floripa. The Go Sees, Jon Allen, Vicky Butterfly, The Orgasmatron Orchestra, Scarlett Etienne (DJ) Originally set up by Chambers as, 'a night which I can invite all my mates to,' The Orgasmatron has swiftly become the club night to be seen at, offering a psychedelic concoction of live music from mixed genres, dancers, DJs, orchestras, burlesquers and ceiling swingers.

Forget The Box, those in the know are revelling in unique performances and the delightfully unexpected in the Orgasmatron's suitably colourful home Floripa in Shoreditch.

This month sees one of the most ambitious line-ups to date. Crowd favourites THE GO SEES (http://www.goseesmusic.com/) return with more funk-rock sounds as well as emerging rootsy-rock talent JON ALLEN (http://jonallensongs.co.uk/).

In preparation for his brand new show 'Alp Haydar's New Vagina' next week, Alp performs a double-bill of his last two shows in one night! Both of which earned him TimeOut's Critic's Choice & most recently a nomination for the London Cabaret Awards. Alp Haydar In preparation for his brand new show 'Alp Haydar's New Vagina' next week, Alp performs a double-bill of his last two shows, in one night! Both of which earned him TimeOut's Critic's Choice, and most recently a nomination for the London Cabaret Awards.

Join Alp on a titillating adventure filled with twists and turns, as he attempts to come out to his ultra-conservative Turkish mother at the airport, falls in love with a jihadist suicide-bomber on the flight and ultimately ends up plane-wrecked on the mythical island of Atlantis, to fight the ultimate battle between pride and shame.

A catch-up for the uninitiated... this schizophrenic evening of madness from the projector prodigy is not to be missed!

Underbelly Hoxton, 11 Hoxton Square, Shoreditch, N1 6NU

Our album is officially out on 20th February but you can get a copy early by rocking up and partying with us on this night. It will be a pleasure to see you and celebrate together! BirdEatsBaby, Plus Guests ~ Birdeatsbaby ~

Alt-classical prog-punk act Birdeatsbaby are an unusual four-piece that hail from Brighton, UK. Not really fitting into any current musical trends, the band steer towards a ‘dark cabaret' rock sound, with fast-paced and complex drums, piano, bass and violin all tied up with huge and catchy choruses

Like a more hyper-active Nick Cave meets a slightly depressed Freddie Mercury, Birdeatsbaby have been described as many things, including ‘a distinctly unhinged brand of burlesque freak-pop', and ‘Twin Peaks on snuff.'
