RAW: Burlesque Ball @ Adelaide Town Hall

While Dita Von Teese, Has one hell of a pout,

My lips, while modest, Are kissable, no doubt!

And yes, the green fairy, Has a great pair of wings,

But, although I can’t fly, I can do other things!


And I know Lady Marmalade can dance,

And striptease and much more,

If I ever went to the Moulin Rouge,

I’m sure I too could work its floor!


And, no, I’m no fire breather, No contortionist, I’m sorry,

But I know a trick or two, I assure you, don’t worry!

So as you can see, At the Burlesque Ball I belong,

I’ve no doubt that the Ball will beat the hell out of this song!


Written by Kelly Angus, Kryztoff WInner for the Burlesque Ball

Kicking On at the Burlesque Ball

Kelly was not wrong – the Burlesque Ball was kicking! Most attendees really got into the spirit of things, dressing up (or down, as the case may be) in some spectacular outfits! (For more pics, click here)

New York headliner Julie Atlas Muz performed her famous balloon trick, while MC Ophelia Bitz kept the crowds stirred right up!

Sure, most of the acts could be boiled down to an extended exotic ‘legitimate’ striptease, but it was so much more… The grandeur of the Adelaide Town Hall, the perfect venue for the Ball, must of course be preserved -presumably, that’s why there was no fire nor silks.

So much more than a show, it’s the atmosphere that will draw Kryztoff back…

RAW: Tripod Vs The Dragon (feat. Elana Stone) @ Royalty Theatre

Tripod take on Elana Stone in an on-stage version of Dungeons & Dragons, where their imaginations are brought to life through song, occasionally dance, and shadows. It’s clear that Scod is taking point on this one… after all, he did admit to being a D&D player in the interview below…

The lovely Elana Stone is an absolute stand out – she really has taken comedy into her stride and her vocals are beautiful as ever. She’ll be playing with her band at one of the Adelaide Festival Grab Bags too… keep a lookout! ;) She also keeps the fellas on their toes! It’s a ton of fun, especially if you haven’t seen Tripod live before. Die-hard fans should enjoy the show, but may prefer their previous outings.
