Mr Coost Lardy Cake

it's a journey that's brought us here.."
What can we say about this all singing, all dancing enigma that has not already been told a thousand times from a million tongues? Indeed we will simply say nothing, as words cannot describe the convuluted and kaleidoscopic life and trials of the subcultural phenomena that is Coost Lardy Cake.

 "Where eveybody wants to kill each other"
Yes!  We will say nothing of his rain soaked Lancashire roots with its dark satanic mills and witch folklore. Nor will we refer to London in the Naughty Nineties and Coosts rave n' roll 'free party' years in The Peoples Republic of Hackney.  All this and more as preparation for casting off the mooring line in order to jump on board the re-purposed  former east german fish factory, M S Stubnitz.

"The ship is real i've seen it myself" commented the St Petersburg river inspection organisation upon the arrival there of the 'Kunst Raum Schiff' in 1992. Strong rumours suggest that Coost (serendipitously named after the ocean adventurer Jacques Cousteau) spent many a rum soaked year undertaking cultural transport missions throughout  the Baltic and North Sea region, although the impossible truth behind these fantastical voyages can perhaps never be fully told.

"living in the cracks" Indeed,  how can we even begin to write anything that remotely describes the reality of those subsequent Berlin years ?  The sleazy living and  'bier für n' mark' in  pre- Schwäbisch Prenzlauerberg or the legendary underground  art adventures in pre Apple Store Mitte?

"Times they are a Changin" Like so much word salad blowing in the wind,  it brings no wisdom to the wise to know that CLC  is now cooling his heals in the east Brandenburg spa town of Buckow,  reincarnated as singer wrongwriter and bird watching enthusiast.

And so finally we put an end to this fruitless attempt to describe that which cannot be described, other than to make a simple statement of fact that on Wednesday June 18,  2025 at 22:00 at  Eschschloraque Rumpfschrumpf in the Dark heart of Mitte, Berlin, Coost Lardy Cake will select some of your favorite tunes and sing a few songs, together on the couch with long standing partner in rhyme and good times: the fabulous Miss Vergnuegen.
