Philosophy of the World

Anarchic performance trio In Bed With My Brother were last seen at the Fringe with Difficult Second Album, a show inspired by the KLF’s burning of a million pounds. There’s been other work since – notably their furiously anti-Jeff Bezos Barbican show PRIME_TIME – but they make their return to Edinburgh with another music themed show. Philosophy of the World sees them explore their fasicnation with The Shaggs, the bizarre ’60s and ’70s rock band comprised of a trio of sisters with little interest in music, whose strict father nonetheless forced then to form a rock band as a result of a prediction made by a fortune teller. Mocked at the time, their one album Philosphy of the World has become an avant-garde cult classic. In Bed with My Brother’s show of the same name is billed as ‘part tribute act, part feminist reclamation, part fever dream’.
