Joe Black
19?? - Pending

Pianist, accordionist and abuser of vocal chords. Mister Joe Black, also known as Mister Black, Joe B, JB and most often, Joe.

Not much is known about the background of one Mister Black, who is he? Why is he here? Where did he come from? Where does he get his hats?

Some people believe that he never had a childhood.

Which may be true.

But it's not.

He was a member of the Black family circus until they disbanded in 1998, playing accordion in the circus band, a brief stint with clowning, and finally, in his teenage years, he became proficient in the art of living statue performance.

Currently, in between sewing dolls, making clay skulls and painting himself white, Joe Black can sometimes be seen performing on the many stages of the UK. Whether that be in a back alley rock club, a theatre or an unkempt bohemian hangout, he is the all stomping, all growling, neo vaudevillian.

- Mr JL Smith



Below are a few words from Joe, not many words mind you,

just a few...

Dear reader,

Hello. I'm Joe Black.

Growling, piano and accordion playing vaudevillian extraordinaire.

Photobucket

Live, we are the child catchers, the human puppets and the tea drinking spiders.

I write songs about houses made of bone, wooden boys who meet there demise and being consumed by a snake.

So ready your gramophones, adorn your best feathered hat and pin your scarf.

We are the waltzing cynics.

Yours sincerely
Mister Joe Black
