Adrian Stout

Adrian Stout plays double bass and musical saw in the Tiger Lillies.

He was born at the Woolwich Hospital for Mothers and Babies, London.



Early attempts at music included clasical guitar and French horn lessons as well as the construction of primitive organs from electronic componants, screws and old radios, though old comedy LPs were of more interest than music for many years. Various advanced experiments were conducted with tape recorders, soldering irons and amplifiers that resulted in sudden electricution on a regular basis, as well as the urgent arrival of the local firebrigade. Only on the discovery of the bass guitar did the rudements of harmony present themselves and the possibility of musical interaction became a reality.

He had played Blues, Jazz, Country, and other primitive musical forms in various known and lesser known bands throughout the UK, Europe and as far afield as India, and recorded two albums for Blues diva Dana Gillespie before being co-opted by The Tiger Lillies for 1995's Edinburgh Festival. This once serious musician has since then found himself dancing in leider hosen, making love to inflatable sheep and dressing as a cheap prostitute. He currently tours the world in a never ending whirl of low budget airlines, 2 star hotels and confused yet strangley satisfied audiences. Make it stop, I feel sick. No, wait, now I feel better.



He currently plays a Bacho Sandvik Stradivarius Musical Saw and an Eminence removable neck portable upright bass.
