Spring 2010 Tour...

As we bid farewell to 2009 and bury it six feet under, we welcome in 2010 and our New Year's goal: to have more fun! Here's the new news...



We've updated the band's website with a new look. Hmm... does that make anyone else crave a dose of medicine?

Band/Burlesque Myths

In the spirit of New Year's resolutions, I feel this blog will fall into that category. Recently, due to my extremely mind-body oriented roommate, Miss Lola Frost, I have been hitting the yoga mat everyday. As expected, I can't really do that in Vancouver without coming across a slew of Lululemon slogans here and there, but for the most part they are helpful chunks of good advice. My favorite is a Eleanor Roosevelt one that states "Do one thing a day that scares you". I think that confronting… Continue

4th Annual Voodoo Ball

As a shadow falls over the city, and lamplighters ply their trade, we

believe that it must time again for the 4th Annual Voodoo Ball held

Feb.5th at the Rickshaw Theatre where we shall hold you in the musical

thrall of our scientific romance!



Descend with us into Bangtown where, against the art deco ruins, moans

the punk-blues of Big John Bates and the Voodoo Dollz. On this crazed

tour of the back alleys ladies of the night walk in the day, Erte

meets… Continue

Dangerous Creatures

So there I yesterday, in the kitchen, and one of Australia's most deadly critters came marching along the counter. This was my first encounter with aredback spider. I managed to trap it under some glass to take a photo of it, but as you can see, it was a harrowing experience...





Then, all of his buddies showed up. I think I must have disturbed a nest in the kitchen some where.…

Rum and Egg-Snog

So in the spirit of the Christmas season, I've fixed the problem I normally have at this time of year to singing carols. I just take a sacred favorite and change the words to suit my lifestyle choices.



These G-Strings



(sung to the tune of "We Three Kings")



These g-strings of raciness are,



covered with my sparkly art!



Kind of whorey, but not boring.



Sure to make the crowd go RAWR!



(Chorus)



O Swarovski… Continue

Wolfgang. The Poolboy

I've made a new friend, sort of. He's small, sort of shy (but kind of pervert) and has really hairy legs. He hangs out by my parents pool all day and watches me swim and occasionally is good enough to fish some gross bug out of the pool that's drowned and eat it for me. I'm talking about Wolfgang, the Huntsman Spider.



It didn't really start out as a good relationship. The first time we met, he was by the fountain and I was swimming, so my face was more or less eye level with him (in… Continue

Happy Mail

I like it when people send us good news. Gone are the days of getting fan mail (at least to us - all the kids are writing to the cast of the Twighlight series these days) but occasionally something pops up on our radar when someone says something nice about us in either an email or a blog. It makes us feel warm and fuzzy and floods us with the feeling of well-being and goodwill towards our audience.



In fact, the only time I can really recall someone ever really saying anything… Continue

Worlds Largest...

It would seem that Australians, much like North Americans, when confronted by large expanses of space share one thing in common. They fill up the space either with really ugly big box stores, or they build large ridiculous roadside attractions. Then they fill up the space between the attractions and the box stores with gas stations and fast food restaurants. Actually the only place that they really do that is Canada and the USA, not so much the Aussies - yet.



While there is some… Continue

Warning! Not For The Faint Of Heart...

I'm pretty sure only I can make friends in a foreign country this - by throwing up in a community swimming pool.



It's a terrible affliction I seem to have, or talent depending on how you look at it. I'm certain Jim Rose could probably make an act out of it but I can barf at the drop of a hat. Not always voluntarily. If my mother had been visited by some malicious sprite at my birth who gave me contradictory gifts: to have the bravado to eat and swallow nearly anything but also vomit… Continue

Australian Time Travel

There is a strange thing that happens when you travel to Australia, I've found. I left Vancouver on the first of December and arrived in Perth on the third. Somewhere over the Pacific, I travelled forward in time and completely lost a full 24 hours, probably somewhere over Jakarta.



It's interesting that this happens because it all has to do with crossing the international dateline, because there is a point on the globe where one day starts and so it has to finish. It doesn't really… Continue

Bawdy Houses and Abusive Vampire Relationships...

I was reading cbc.ca for news the other evening, looking for interesting tidbits when an article caught my eye: "Bawdy House Busted!". Now I like a little sensationalism with my evening tea, so I started to have a look and what I thought would be a mud-slinging article about the evils of prostitution, turned out to be a much darker series of articles that would emerge.



Instead of talking about the lack of morals of the women in the house, it turned out to be an alleged human… Continue

Puppetry, The Lost Art Of

Early in the morning when I'm half awake and munching on my cereal, I find myself needing to zone out a bit. Since neither myself or my parents, whom I'm visiting, have cable I have the next best thing: YouTube. What I dug up was a great old childhood memory: The Jim Henson Hour.



It was a program split into two bits: the first being a half hour segment involving the Muppets running a television station and the second a twenty-minute episode of The Storyteller which touched on old… Continue

So Here I Am In Australia...

So I have been hunting for things to do in Australia since I am currently in Perth. I had a hazy recollection of someone telling me about a strip club on the continent that only features dancers who are shark attack victims. So I figured I'd do some special effects make up on myself, enter the amateurs night and rake in a bit of a profit. I'm nothing if not entrepreneurial on holiday.



So I'm scouring Google to try and find this place, and nothing is coming up. Incidently, I DID find… Continue

Seasons Beatings From Bangtown

As 2009 draws to a close, we would like to take a moment to remember

all the Jagermeiester-fueled fun that it has brought us... and with

tooth and nail welcome 2010!



To end the year properly Big John Bates and the Voodoo Dollz will

breeze up the ghost longitudes to Cumberland, BC to howl one last

song on New Year’s Eve at the Waverly Hotel. The death of 09 will

welcome the birth of 2010 and the things to come!



Our 4th Annual Voodoo Ball will take… Continue

Whistler Show Review

Pique Magazine - Whistler:

http://www.piquenewsmagazine.com/pique/index.php?content=Big+john+bates+1645

When Big John Bates and the Voodoo Dollz step onto stage, there's no half-hearted head-nodding and foot-tapping in the audience. No, there's just something about this live trash blues act that brings out the wild side in just about anyone who has a drop of music in their soul.

Is it… Continue

My Favorite Culinary Secret

I'm not really opposed to cannibalism. Not really. Since it's recycling, and would help cut down on the number of burping, farting, and rutting people on the planet I feel that it's not a bad option. A way to create a new natural resource rather than try to sustain the breed which depleting others with overpopulation. Since a lot of cattle tend to eat recycled cow bits (hence Mad Cow Disease) I see that humans are already comfortable with the idea. I am, however, in the minority.



So… Continue

Doing The Ra-Ra-Ra-Raccoon!

J.T. sent this to me ages ago and I recently rediscovered this little gem in my inbox.



Doing the raccoon



Anyone who has been following this blog for any length of time knows I have a mild, slightly deranged, obsession with raccoons. This has translated into a number of Davy Crockett hats, stuffed raccoons, and so on. It's actually all starting to get out of hand, really. However, this is not only a nifty little piece of music, but it has a little cultural snippet of the… Continue

Halloween and Hentai

So I HAVE successfully found some photos from our last hurrah of the tour, which happened to be Halloween. The setting: the Penthouse, which is the only licensed burlesque stage in Canada. They have hosted Sammy Davis Jr, Tempest Storm and Satan's Angel. Usually they play host to more modern peelers and top 40 but on October 31st, their a**** (and souls) belonged to us...



Thanks to Pam Clack and Jaqueline Ryan for letting me pull the proverbial 'yoink' from their Facebook photos to… Continue
