All of our pieces are different; political, traditional, kitschy, glamorous, humorous...That said, we are more than the traditional burlesque troupe. Our girls come from different artistic backgrounds ranging from dance, music, theater, photography, costume design, and crafting. We also have various influences from books, visual artists, film, music, etc. We have distinct personalities yet we all share a common goal: to entice, tantalize, and mesmerize our audience.

MUSIC: ANNA arrived at opEN Stage at onG king and opened our hearts to why we have a piano. Her sounds create a timelessness that we dig to linger in.

MIKE LOVE: the Dubkonscious guitarist is an amazing solo musician “I am a musician, born a musician, and will be a musician long after this world is dead and gone. I make music with as many positive dedicated musicians as I can, including my band Dubkonscious, Paula Fuga, Tavana, Father Psalms Studio and more. I give thanks Iternally for the blessing and the opportunity to make music every day. I am always seeking to grow and learn new things about music and life and pray that I will always be so. Thanks for taking the time to learn about me and the music I am blessed to be a vessel for, hopefully I can return the favor sometime.”
