A Complete History of the Soviet Union as told by a humble worker, arranged to the melody of Tetris – Instrumental

A lot of people have asked us if there’s an instrumental version of our song A Complete History of the Soviet Union as told by a humble worker, arranged to the melody of Tetris.

So we’ve created one specially. Here it is!

Dan has a new comedy show about vegetable cultivation



Dan, Pig With The Face Of A Boy’s accordion-playing half, has a new show about growing vegetables.

The world premiere of the show will take place in August at Edinburgh’s prestigious Royal Botanic Garden as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2011.

It’s a collaboration with the brilliant ukulele-based comic songmistress Jo Stephenson. We’ve got a bumper crop of new comedy songs, tackling subjects like slugs, compost, annoying allotment neighbours, Gardener’s Question Time, and Alan Titchmarsh.

We’re recording an album

Pig With The Face Of A Boy are recording a new album. It’s sounding very exciting and rather silly. We’ll post here again when we have a definite release date.

In the meantime, you can buy our first album, La La Ha Ha, here. It’s funny, it’s recorded in an analogue studio, and it has lovely pig artwork.

We’re now back in London following our successful shows in Edinburgh. On Saturday 11 September we’re performing at this benefit event in aid of the recent floods in Pakistan. More than 21 million people have been affected by the worst floods in living memory, and large areas of the country are still underwater. There quite a few other interesting acts playing, and it will be a fun evening in aid of a worthwhile cause.

We’re appearing on a couple of nights of the Theatre Souk event, run by London’s leading pop-up theatre company Theatre Delicatessen. We’ll be in the Cabaret Bar at 20:30 – 21:30 on 16 September and 19:30-20:20 on 7 October, and you can take the opportunity to explore a whole bunch of other rooms featuring London’s best emerging and experimental theatre-makers.
