The Great Malarkey + DJ Sacha Dieu at The Magic Garden
February 7 @ 7:30 pm - February 8 @ 2:00 am
THE GREAT MALARKEY
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is The Great Malarkey.
Releasing their second album in early 2017 on Batov Records, ‘Doghouse’ delivers not only the continued raucous energy of their live shows, as showcased in their first album ‘Badly Stuffed Animals’, but the eventual bruising, vulnerability of the morning after the night before.
Influenced by the likes of Tom Waits, The Pogues, Beirut, Nick Cave, Fanfare Ciocarlia, The Dead Brothers and Toots and the Maytals (the latter of whom they supported with only their third gig), The Great Malarkey are riotous mix of musical styles and genres delivered in a “multicultural train of fast beats and trembling slams of punk-folk spirit” – rhythmpassport.com
Rambunctious and right on the edge of control… one of the freshest sounds I’ve picked up this year – Music-news.com
They do sound like they’d be very good live, (like) they’d brew up something of a storm – Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music
DJ SACHA DIEU
“Known across the UK for sets brimming with the best in Balkan Gypsy, Electro Swing and Global Beats, don’t let this DJ fool you into thinking this is all he’s got. Genre-bending and diverse, there’s no Edoubt you’ll be dancing”. (Womad)
Sacha mixes different styles and genres together during his sets (Anything from 30s Swing Jazz to the latest remixes, obscurities to well known Classics). Sacha adapts his set for each new occasion.
That said, Sacha is reputed for being one of the pioneers and specialists of Balkan Gypsy, Electro Swing and Global Beats djing in the UK
