(events » live music)
Sunday, October 28, 2007 - 8:00 PM

CIRKESTRA joins The Boston Babydolls for a show that will scare your pants off (or our pants off anyway)!
The creaking calliope, the mournful wail of the black accordion, and the shriek of the haunted violin — it must be CIRKESTRA!. If you've never had the pleasure of hearing this group that "swings like a drunken carnie" (7 Days) you're in for a special Halloween treat.
And there are treats galore at this super spooky edition of The Dollhouse. Come in costume and save $2.00 on your admission — plus everyone gets a burlesque goodie bag. This won't rot your teeth, kids!
Doors open at 8 p.m. Get there early for the best seats. Cirkestra goes on at 8:30 p.m., the boo-tiful ghouls of the Boston Babydolls rise from the grave at 9:30 p.m.
THIS IS AN 18+ EVENT!
Tickets are $10 or $8 for any costume!

Carnaval d'Amour
(events » live music)
Thursday, February 14, 2008 - 9:00 PM
30 RSVPs
It's Barnum & Bailey as re-imagined by Billy Minsky, a modern blending of burlesque, carnival, circus, and cabaret. More than a dozen talented performers and the quirky band Cirkestra ( www.Cirkestra.com) gather under the "tent" of T.T. the Bear's (10 Brookline St., Cambridge MA) on Valentine's evening, Thursday, Feb. 14, 2008 for a show designed to set hearts pounding... in more ways than one.
Inspired by the German spiegeltents, large decorated, travelling tents built in Belgium during the late 19th century, Carnaval d'Amour stars well-known burlesque dancers like Miss Mina, Betty Blaize, and Honey Do. The circus and variety acts include Boston Babydoll member Dominique Immora, stiltwalker Michelle Jeffalone, object manipulator Baz, and juggler Johnny Cakes. The evening is hosted by perennial Boston Babydolls M.C., Ol' Scratch. The red-suited raconteur does more than just throw zingers at the audience; he's also an accomplished magician and sword swallower.
What's a circus without a sideshow? The creepy Cabinet of Curiousities ( www.eightcornerglobe.com) will be on display. Feast your eyes on the oddest collection of "Human anomalies, Wonders of the Animal Kingdom, Nature's Mistakes, Genuine Historical Artifacts" ever assembled under one roof! Be warned -- some of Professor Badger's prized possessions may shock the faint of heart!
Carnaval d'Amour is made up of more than two hours of music, dance, magic, striptease, and variety acts designed to set hearts aflame. Miss Mina, the co-founder of The Boston Babydolls, heats things up with Blue Angel by The Squirrel Nut Zippers (a band who took their name from a local candy bar) and plays homage to Marlene Dietrich with Moritat von Mackie Messer ("Mack the Knife" performer in German).
Tickets to Carnaval d'Amour are $10.00 in advance and $15 on the day of the show. They are available at T.T. The Bear's box office (10 Brookline St., Cambridge, MA in Central Square) or on-line at www.ticketweb.com or by calling (617) 492-BEAR.
