Wheel of Tease Returns for 4 Times the Fun

December 2, 2014 at 6:52 PMVioletDeVille

CopyrightThere are two things you don’t see a lot of in neo-burlesque today: live music and on-the-spot -improvisation. When these two elements do come to pass, the result is a rare and beautiful thing. On the Friday, February6th eight performers, some burlesque stars and a few fresh faces, will take the stage and create spontaneous performances using props and song chosen by members of the audience. The soundtrack to this “kamikaze burlesque” will be performed live by Seattle’s only electro-swing band Good Co. Join us for a night of spur-of-the-moment striptease and silly, sexy fun. 

And we're bringing this madness to you four times in 2015.

Sir Eddie Van Glam is back, leading audience members to the stage and helping them select the music Good Co will play and the prop the performer has to dance with. 

Each show has a different cast of performers. Some are local, some are from other states, and a few are from another country altogether. 

February 6th features Reggie Bügmüncher and Kat De Lac from the Keystone state of Pennsylvania . They'll be joining Lowa de Boom Boom, Miss Violet DeVille, Absurdity Belle, Jesus la Pinga, Morgan LaMay, and The Black Sparrow. 

May 8th stars the Paris Original, and features Bettie Fever from Vancouver, B.C., Trixie Paprika, Miss Violet DeVille, Artemis Lark, Morgue Anne, Razzberry Rocket, and Dahlia Ste. cyr.

August 8th brings Vancouver, B.C. starlets Faux Foxy and Ruby Slickeur to our stage along with the local flavor of Cherry "Killer" Tomatoes, Miss Violet DeVille, Bella Luna, Kristina Weena, Mandy Flame, and Verity Germaine.

November sets us up with Rock Hart, the international boylesque sinsation from Edinburgh, Scotland and Port Angeles' own Siouxzie Queen Gypsy and featuring performances from Sara Dipity, Whisper De Corvo, Cirquesse, Miz Melancholy, Magnolia Monroe, and Nickey Bourbon.

Miz Melancholy wants you to hear Sherree Chamberlain

February 28, 2014 at 11:23 AMVioletDeVille

CopyrightThe Mistress of Melodrama, Miz Melancholy revels in making people slightly uncomfortable…in a profoundly titillating way. This founding member of the Seattle based burlesque and performance art troupe, the Libertinis, has demonstrated an affinity for the gothic and the macabre through her precision crafted performances. Though some have made the terrible mistake of writing her off as just another pretty face, we urge them to reconsider. Not only is this ecdysiastic wunderkind a gifted performer, she also flexes her intellectual muscles in the area of earth and space sciences with same passion, drive, and intelligence she brings to the stage every time.

CopyrightNext Saturday when she takes the stage at IndieStrip, she’s going to be exploring something a little darker and something deeply personal. The sound track to this comes from the music of Sherree Chamberlain, an Oklahoma City based singer-songwriter and sometimes educator. Between Ms. Chamberlain’s music and Miz Melancholy’s performance style we are certain you will be drawn in and changed by them at IndieStrip on March 8th.
