   About Laura Lewis and The Tea Dance Orchestra




Laura Lewis and Her Amazing Tea Dance Orchestra
L’Histoires

Lolly Cum Violencia
5’4”
Smells like Vanilla
Likes Post Punk Opera
Plays ukulele, banjo, harp, angel guitar

“Because I’m small people think they can boss me around. Also they think I’ll be a bitch because I’ve had to deal with that all my life. I like to make people think I’m fulfilling their expectations then surprise them.”

Victoria Labia
5’9”
Smells like Raspberry Punch
Likes Low Country
Plays pianola, miserichord, harpsichord, clavichord

“Back home I broke horses. The boys liked to watch. I’d wear my best petticoats and they’d get all sweaty and dusty, sometimes a little bloody. Breaking horses is like good fucking – the deed isn’t done until everybody involved is half dead and happier than they’ve ever been in their whole fucking life before.”

Manchurian Spector
6’2”
Smells like opium
Likes Apocalyptic Hip Hop
Plays melodica, bone whistle, penny whistle, decks, spray cans

“Once I jumped off a building and never hit the ground, not that I noticed anyway. People think I’m walking but if you get down on the ground and stick your nose right up close to my trainer rubber you’ll see there’s a little space in there, like between the wee bodies in an atom. I’m flying all the time baby.”

Dusty Garota
5’6”
Smells like brownies and balloons
Likes Lullabies
Plays crystal glasses, typewriters, pearls with bells on the end

“People are always talking about love as if it’s some unicorn sitting in the corner of the room in a leather armchair smoking a Cuban cigar. Have you ever opened your legs on the top of a mountain and felt the sun come down and fuck you from above? Have you ever slid your hard cock into the earth and felt what it is really like to fertilise? I’m not talking some hippie bullshit here. I’m talking about tongues and blood and the stuff that comes out of you after you die, the stuff you sing with, the stuff you love with.”

none of us have ever met this laura lewis, but she says it was all her idea

laura lewis and her amazing tea dance orchestra slunk onto the performance art scene at SiLENCiO's first birthday in January 2004. the Tea Dance Orchestra has at various points been very lucky to have amongst its ranks: Susi Kedzierska, Nick Stewart, Tim from Big Hand, Adam Melvin AKA Melvitronica. The tea dance orchestra are currently writing and recording in a nuclear bunker somewhere in Leith.

how much do i love our band? so much!

Curtain

The hardest thing waking in pain
Was wondering where the warmth had gone
Cat in the night disappeared
The room still dark, the blood all dried

In cafes everyone nonchalant
She smiles and holds their calloused hands
She smiles and swallows back her scream
The cat in the window disappears

Who pulled back the curtain, I asked you
Not to get curious golden boy
What does it cost you to be an idol
Everything I told you if you looked

Treacle hardens on the side of the dish
She scrubs and scrubs but it won't come clean
The wound won't heal unless the dirt comes out
She's not drunk enough, the pain shines through

Lost sight of the cat round Wolfgang corner
Maybe its best she learns to sleep on her own
At least until the right key turns
All her secrets rising like a flock of doves

Who pulled back the curtain, I asked you
Not to get curious golden boy
What does it cost you to be an idol
Everything I told you if you looked

xxxxx dusty and jennifer
