Midnight & The Moody Shoes

WARNING! This little nightcap might give you mysterious dreams.

Tapping into her extensive body of work as a darling of the cabaret and jazz circuits both in Australia and abroad, Melissa Western draws from her shadow to deliver aching tales of heartbreak and femme fatale.

Step aboard the midnight express as it creeps through the misty Bayou and enter the dark, smoke-filled bar where Midnight & The Moody Shoes play murky and mysterious folk ballads about lovers, demons, drugs and salvation.

Drawing on the cryptic genius of songwriters Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Kirsty MacColl, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and Jacques Brel, acclaimed singer/actor Melissa Western reaches for the stormy depths, and then descend some more, emerging with a sensory exploration of a dark dreamworld of obsession, seduction and thrill.

So order a strong drink, slip into the smoky corner bar, and settle in for this offbeat overture to obsession.
