Nervous Cabaret’s live performances are bloodily moving: by turns Ellington, Post punk, Led Zeppelin and vaudeville orchestra.

The song writing of Elyas Khan, described by fans as “royalty in dirty disguise”, is an eclectic mix of musical influence ranging from Duke Ellington to Ethiopique, clubland to music hall, that crashes from violent to fragile in a seemingly endless variety of arrangements and orchestrations.
