FRIDAY MAY 30TH

...The Long awaited return Of  bohemian carnival

       *****God bless america*****...burp! 

   

 Forgive us for our hiatus from the Carnival for the past several months...America was beckoning, thus forcing Vau de Vire to step out and cross-pollinate the masses...many offspring spawned in our wake no doubt.  Ain't no better way to welcome back San Francisco's original indie circus extravaganza than with an homage to a true San Francisco original...Extra Action Marching Band in it's full glory.  "Powerful and empowering, the Extra Action Marching Band seduces the pre-civilized will. They are immediate and visceral - more of a sweaty invitation than a show. They are a parody of idioms with shattering volume - guerrilla theater with the rug rolled up. Extra Action has performed in back alleys and at the Hollywood Bowl, they have played Black Sabbath in a synagogue for dancing octogenarians - but the preferred venue is a small locked room with the heat turned up.  As the sound boils into a spinning crossfire, sweat and flying hair tangle in a delicious knot. Audience and band submit together, to each other, to the whim and fancy, to satisfaction. Irresistible." 

 ...and to add to the debauched goodness, BC welcomes our good pals and beautiful buffoons Fou Fou Ha! , the shoot'em-up circus stylings of Cowboy Girls and the SF debut of pole-dancing phenom from Portland BLAZE. For your Booty-Shakin' pleasures, resident Dj's Coop*& AudiLew share the tables with frequent resident Smoove and BC virgin Tamo.  And of course your hosts Gooferman and the whole Vau de Vire family on hand to titillate your fancy and lead you down a path of irreversible bliss...spectators beware, this here's an interactive affair!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oct.. 28...W/Peaches @ Exotic Erotic Ball

Vau de Vire's collaboration with Peaches /www.peachesrocks.com at the EEBall Halloween weekend was one of our favorites to date.  The empowering choreography of VdV's Shannon Gaines is a perfect match with Peaches in-your-face lyrical expression.  The hour long show featured 7 diverse VdV acts/vignettes accompanied live by peaches and her band including a piece created by Fou Fou Ha and a suspension/marionette scene by Andi is Chiternal.  Gravity Plays Favorites and the Gooferman clowns added the finishing touches to what is certain to be the first of many future shows with Peaches...stay tuned!  Nightshade's photos captured the debauchery perfectly! www.theblight.net (warning: blood and titties, not for the kiddies!)
