Nowhere To Go

“With a mixture of razor-sharp wit,
brilliant musicianship, unparallelled drag (legs to die for …) and the charm
of the Irish, Lulu boldly goes where most comedians fear to tread.” Jackie Rozenfeld, Southern FM,
Melbourne "Very
clever lyrics, really sweet production given budgetary constraints.
Surprisingly I found it entertaining and enjoying (not a fan of the [drag]
scene or the Lulu character but am a fan of the man behind it
all.)" Andrew
“Bag” Sidwell, Allegedly Creative, Melbourne |
“… sings
the most hilarious politically incorrect and sexually explicit lyrics with
sweeping melodies in a fine high tenor voice, like a sex-crazed Glenn
Tilbrook” The
Scotsman. "By
being at different times poignant, dark-humoured, irreverent and by their own
admission, irritating, Paddy and Lulu have created a CD that can only be
described as unique." Sally
Goldner, Out of the Pan, 3 CR 833 FM, Melbourne |
A Tour de Force from My Twin Sister Lulu
by PG
A regular on the
From the cleverly constructed “Little Miss Martyr”
to the catchy “(We shagged on the) Shag Pile carpet”, she shows off her
eclectic cabaret credentials. Indeed,
the wickedly funny “1967 Ford Cortina” would silence the most drunken of
hecklers. Many of Lulu's songs have a
clever twist at the end such as “Why did you Marry such a Stupid Cow” (perfect
for anyone who's ever hated their best friend's new spouse) and the macabre
“Some People Like to”.
One of my favourite songs on the CD was by Lulu's
twin brother Paddy. “When I Leave
London” is a haunting folksong for the Millennium in the best tradition of
singer-songwriters - a man with a guitar singing a song which tells a
story. Paddy is also an accomplished
voice-over artist and this comes across in the links between the songs,
particularly when Frank from Nunawading comes on to air his views (it did sound
to me like Frank had lived in
The catchy “Champagne Socialist” is one of those
songs that you just won't be able to get out of your head. Angry, brilliant, acidly funny, this is music
at its most searingly honest as in the hook to the chorus “You think you're
Joan of Arc but You're Marie Antoinette”.

included, songs everyone can identify with: "I Always Fall Asleep In
Meetings" and "Masturbating To The Sound of Your Own Voice"
along with the hedonistic joy of smashing up an ex-boss's vintage 1967 Ford
Cortina, and possibly the most annoying song ever written "Working in de
kitchens-AH!", contrasting starkly against the embittered cynical vitreol
of “Don’t Tell Me It Takes Two To Tango”
A veritable projectile regurgitation of angst,
vitreol, anti-marriage, champagne socialist-popping, cross-dressing,
heavy-drinking antics, together with erotic love songs and the general
stupidity of people, all delivered with the subtlety of a drunk bull jumping up
and down on a punctured aerosol can.
There is no other CD in the world like it - the most
unique and all-round entertaining piece of plastic available in our solar
system. Is this a singing transvestite,
a perverted folk-singer with anger management issues … or a drag queen who
can’t mime?
“When Lulu performs, she not only
connects with the audience, she reaches out, brain-f*cks them and then
elegantly returns them to their seats.”
Jackie Rozenfeld, Southern FM,
Melbourne
