The Atomic Tease!
Thursday, August 20th, at the Key Club in Hollywood, CA
Art Exhibit Opening with a Night of Burlesque Performance and Music
The Atomic Tease is a presentation of the neo-burlesque movement, bringing together pin-up inspired art, burlesque performance and music.What started as an undercurrent in American counter culture is now seeping its way into mainstream consciousness - and rapidly spreading through fine arts, music and theatrical productions.The neo-burlesque movement is informed by classic burlesque elements of sexuality, satire, and counter culture – blended with the low brow art scene, modern social and political themes, mid-century pin-up art, California surfer/tiki culture and a splash of fantasy. Join us for a night of paintings and pasties from contemporary artists and burlesque performers emerging as some of the hottest stars of their generation!
The Burlesque Performances: Tinky Sparkle, Dizzy Von Damn, Lili VonSchtupp, Bunny Bravo, Lavendar La Rue, and more!
The Burlesque Show will be hosted by Dizzy Von Damn (Miss Viva Las Vegas 2008).
The DJ and Live Music: DJ Lee Joseph of Dionysus Records Spinning an Eclectic Mix of Music.
Thee Swank Bastards headlining with Live Music.
