Father Daddy

  • Music
  • Entertainment

Step into the dark gospel of Father Daddy, a cabaret mass where sermon meets spectacle. With razor-sharp lyrics, bangin' beats and a presence that dominates, His Eminence delivers a show that's part ritual, part rebellion. Expect a sublime seven-piece band serving new music; vampy cabaret numbers, power pop comedy, and post-punk rock 'n' roll.

Blending jazz, pop and rock, Father Daddy is Disney on amyl, soaked in sweat, glitter and just the right amount of sin. The preacher you shouldn't trust but can't stop listening to, where the only agenda he's pushing is the queer one. Oh, and wine. There will be wine. He is Catholic after all.
