Cabaret sensation Salty Brine is ripping the glad rags off New York City's 1930s drag craze through the songs of Cyndi Lauper's synth-pop smash She's So Unusual.
The New York icon's Living Record Collection specialises in taking unlikely pairings – The Smiths meets Frankenstein, Led Zeppelin and Treasure Island, Radiohead and the Rat Pack – and miraculously twining the narratives into something majestic.
Two "divine deviants" return to life to solve the case that cost them their careers and take you on a murder mystery tour of surprisingly liberal Prohibition-era New York, where the "pansy craze" brought drag queens and gender ambiguity to every hot night spot. Salty Brine spins a tale of queer resistance through the medium of Cyndi Lauper's irrepressible album, with biting repartee and fabulous vocals. Even from beyond the grave, ghouls just wanna have fun!
