The
Tyrants in Therapy are an American “Punk Cabaret”
band, which was formed in
Los Angeles in 1983. Having started as a foursome, they have operated, since 1994, with only two members:
songwriter,
lead singer and
producer Michael J; and songwriter and lead singer
AbbeAbbe. Over the years, as they have experimented with different sounds, different line-ups and different labels, their
music has been received with a mixture of enthusiasm and indifference. From 2001 to 2008, they wrote, produced and starred in a music and comedy
television program, Meet The Tyrants in Therapy, which aired on
Public-access television cable TV networks.
