Little Annie-aka Annie Anxiety-aka Annie Bandez O'Connor, will be performing with wonderful pianist and dear friend Baby Dee (Current 93 & Antony & The Johnsons). Come enjoy one of two nights in the UK as they give us a sneaky-peek ahead of their as-yet-untitled album released on Tin Angel Records this Winter.

Annie's solo LPs and numerous collaborations (with Wolfgang Press, Crass, the ON-U Sounds stable, Paul Oakenfold, Kid Congo Powers, Current 93, Nurse with Wound, the late Bim Sherman, Coil, Fini Tribe, Collapsed Lung, Christophe Heeman, and many fine others) span the spectrum from reggae & hip hop to torch and the avant garde. She has written three volumes of prose, appeared in numerous plays, theater pieces, and films, and continues to tour extensively with pianist and co-composer Paul Wallfisch of Botanica.

Baby Dee - A tall eccentric redhead from Cleveland, Ohio with a deep, haunting voice accompanied by portentous, dramatic piano, harp and accordion. She sings in a voice that veers between Shirley Temple and Dame Vera Lynn. Contributor to debut album of Antony And The Johnsons, Dee’s career has seen her perform worldwide with Will Oldham, who co-produced 'Safe Inside the Day' on Drag City 2008, with Matt Sweeney, Antony Hegarty, Marc Almond, Alex Neilson, David Tibet and Andrew WK - also producer of 'Regifted Light' released last year. “a resonant tenor that occasionally rises in a counter screech or descends into a filthy, cackling vibrato rasp...Defiantly unclassifiable, away with the fairies, but a mesmerising class act.” Live Review, Frieze Art Fair Festival 2010

Little Annie & Baby Dee Interview

Frank Zappa in his 1980 interview with Songwriter magazine said of Little Annie "But when I go to a place like Max's Kansas City in New York and see a group like Annie and the Asexuals, I can really enjoy it. I don't know if that band will ever get a record contract and I don't think they care. I watched them for an hour, painful as it was - their show was real personal and disorganized. This girl was wearing winter underwear with a black leather coat on top of that, and she had a paper bag with a bottle of vodka in it, and she was backed up by five guys who had just bought their instruments, apparently. She was screaming about thorazine and being in a mental hospital and it was real ! You don't get that commitment to just spewing your guts out among L.A. groups."



EBE OKE

Ebe Oke is a talented musician and artist living in London. Despite his incredible, haunting music and long relationships with influential figures on either side of the musician/music industry divide, he is only just beginning to surface in mainstream consciousness.

Recalling the magic of Björk and Antony and the Johnsons amongst others, his music is timeless – spiritual, expressive songs full of poetry, laced with field recordings of exotic birds from the farm where he grew up in south Georgia before making his pilgrimage to London almost a decade ago. His eccentric approach to art and music and his unique backstory make for an intriguing and refreshingly sincere artist.
