about

A collection of live recordings.
Recorded during the 'lounge act' tour, promoting the album "L'Hotel Du Freaks", avant-punk sensation !JP travelled theatres, old film-houses, abandoned circuses and underground brothels, teaming up with one of the very last (yet, very illegal) Freak Shows on the planet.
Their award-winning show was filmed by video-artist Suus DJ and broadcast by MTV in October of 2003.

This downloadable album also contains a fit-for-phone edit of the original VHS recording of the MTV broadcast.
