GENDER diversity, the intimate lifestyle choices of magical creatures–and the cultural significance of your child’s haircut. Pants! and Other Things is part cabaret, part folk-comedy, with plenty of glitter and sequins.
It’s also the launch of Beaconsfield local Lexie McGee’s self-titled EP.
Four years in the making and of the things close to her heart, it’s an hilarious send-up of the folk music she loves, taking the usually sad ballads and turning them on their head.
“It’s soul/folk with ridiculous lyrics,” McGee tells the Voice.
And the obsession with hair cuts?
“I don’t know why but I have taken to writing songs about haircuts, including not giving your child a rat tail.
“And my passion for bowl cut and how we can save the world if everyone has one.”
Pants! is part of Fringe World and is on at Four5Nine Bar at the Rosemount, Fitzgerald Street, North Perth Saturday February 6–10.
