The Mabuses's 2008 Concert History

Their first eponymous album received great critical acclaim upon its release in 1992. The songs are nearly all classic pop tunes tinged with dark overtones. Excellent and intricate guitar playing accompanied by baffling lyrics from which emerge a world of malevolent barbers, lunatics, mercy seats, car crashes, train journeys delivered in upbeat humour.The Mabuses' music is riddled with improbable arrangements, immersed in dark humour,and rife with pop hooks of great impact.
