It'll be a grand time with one of the Bay Area's best known dance troupes! The guest list is still being put together, but there will be appearances by the Devil-Ettes, Kingfish of the Hubba Hubba Revue, and others! And of course, they'll be bringing their musical cohorts Blue Bone Express with them! Gotta have some cool, yet hot, New Orleans jazz to dance to!
As of right now, here is what the show's schedule looks like. If there are any changes I'll make an announcement and post the new information in a later post.
But in the meantime, please feel free to read along and perhaps purchase some tickets in advance at dnalounge.com! The doors will open at 8:00 p.m., and the show will start at 9:00. If you arrive early, you can get in for just $10.00! Otherwise, entry to get your booties shaken will be $15.00 and up.

MORE ABOUT BURLESQUE N BRASS:
Dubbed "the coolest jazz brass band in Northern California" by the San Francisco Chronicle, Oakland-based Blue Bone Express exposes the Bay Area to a type of jazz rarely heard beyond the Mississippi Delta. Combined with award-winning Hot Pink Feathers’ World Carnaval Cabaret dance, this explosive cabaret performance fuses music and dance traditions spanning the early-1900's New Orleans parades to the showgirl plumage of 1950's Rio de Janeiro Carnaval, the culture-clash hilarity of the '70s and '80s, and pushing through the present-day post-modern meltdown that is downtown Oakland.
“If you've never had the pleasure of seeing burlesque dancing performed to live jazz, then this is the place to start. It's like slugging down a pint of Uncle Peppy's moonshine after ten years of Nestea. It's sexy, spunky, sassy retro fun with all the heart and soul of Rio de Janeiro and the French Quarter, right there in downtown Oaktown. If you're looking for the perfect date, the perfect diversion, or just a chance to see an eminently sexy group of gifted hoofers grinding to hot jazz played by true enthusiasts, order a whiskey sour and settle into your seat for one of the best evenings the Bay Area has to offer.” Thomas Roche
