We Have to Dress Gorgeously is a perpetual song performed by two men and three pianists. It’s a song about the relationship between the world of music and war, friendship, logic, healing, freedom, Germany and lots more. Through this simple format we travel into the most remote and often irrelevant corners of history, served as a collection of anecdotes that elsewhere may be thought of as secondary, but here take centre stage. We have to dress gorgeously is a punk history of music (including punk!); a lawless, non-chronological, incorrect and anti-academic approach to history, bridging the artificial divide between western and world music.
