The Tiger Lillies - WAR IS NOT FAIR

Our new CD THE LAST DAYS OF MANKIND is now available in our shop and live dates begin in London today! Inspired by the anti war satire created by Austrian writer Karl Kraus, the songs show a society marching to self destruction. The limited-edition physical album will come with a 12-page booklet. The 22 songs were originally written for a theatre production of Kraus’ epic masterpiece which was performed in Scotland, Germany and Poland in 2018 and was released digitally. All the songs have been recorded and re-mastered again in 2022. Among the songs written by Jacques in response to The Last Days of Mankind are Die for your Country, War is Not Fair and the beautiful A Million Martyrs to Love. On the 6th of September the band is starting a run at Wilton’s Music Hall where they will be performing the album until the 17th of September.
