This clip from episode 8072 of The Mike Walsh Show in 1978 shows Archer channellinga traditional cabaret energy, performing Marlene Dietrich’s ‘The Boys in the Back Room’ with aplomb. Her comfort with the form and her enthusiasm for cabaret’s ability to blend the aesthetic with the political is clearly evident.
The song is taken from her show Kold Komfort Kaffe, which received positive reviews, but Archer's real breakthrough came the following year with A Star is Torn, a tour-de-force tribute to legendary female singers with tragic biographies.
