Meff ‘n jojo’s Tiny Instrument Revue
Meff: Your mustachioed dandy tomboy-about-town. Punk rock fop on mandolin.
jojo: The burlesque poetess, a tiny tart of vaudevillian verse and
tenor ukicorn tamer.
Yes, you’ve seen them sitting in the stage shtetl of Walter Sickert &
The Army of Broken Toys— Now you can hear them sing about Oscar Wilde
alongside your favourite tunes about hard drugs from the 70’s and Ukulele Ike’s
charming ditties rife with euphem-nuendo! Miniature music-makers, petite
caricatures, a throwback vaudeville act combining elements of Velvet
Goldmine and The Muppet Show. Comes complete with subversive
children’s literature (illustrated zine merch!) and on-the-spot poems.
“What happens when the tiniest and most dapper members of Walter
Sickert & the Army of Broken Toys get together to play songs about
hard 1970’s drugs on mandolin, ukulele and more? Magic, bien sur! ”
-Boston Bohemia
“If The Army of Toys was a dapper Voltron the pocket watch would
detach and form: ‘meff ‘n jojo’s tiny instrument revue.’ “
-Walter Sickert
