WILD WEST PLAYERS
LONE MADRONE
is an easy name to remember, a kick-ass music group,and also a tree http://www.flickr.com/photos/pellucidity/4474397745/ The Madrone or Arutex Xalaprensus grows alone and in Texas mainly. It has been around for thousands of years and is considered by some to be a 'relict' or a species that survives a long time after the surrounding environment has undergone significant change.The band grows in Oregon! They doesn't appear as a relict but four very handsome talented musicians including Tucker: Guitar & Vocals, Paxton: Bass, Michael: Guitar & Vocals, James: Drums, who describe their original, group-composed music, as foot stomping acoustic bliss! Approaching a couple years together, this group is sure what they're about and the audience can't help but get involved! Catch them featured at Tease Time : A Modern Burlesque Show - Wild Wild West - 7/23 at the Whiskey Bar - $7 adv. $10 day of show. 31 NW First Ave, Portland OR., 97209 Hear samples of their music at http://myspace.com/lonemadrone

Nina Nightshade


“Poison goes better with grenadine.”
Nina has been dancing since she could walk and fell in love with the theater in high school. She is closing in on her 13th year as a bellydancer and her 4th year as an instructor in this feminine dance form. She is also a student of Theater and Modern dance styles. After watching Catherine d’Lish on stage 6 years ago, she fell in love with belly dancing’s “naughty little sister”, Burlesque. Since that day Nina has performed in such shows at Prettythings Peepshow, Glam-o-Rama Girly show, Dr. Sketchy’s, Pastie Parade, Uncle Eerie’s Shiver show and recently returned from the Rose City Rendevouz Tour.  She has also been known to produce her own burlesque shows under the name Bergamot Burlesque. As if she isn’t busy enough... She is also a Mom and co-owner of Cherry Redd.A bittersweet beauty, the poison you just can’t put down... The Infamous Nina Nightshade!

the lyrics to the Alabama Song! [sung at start of show by us all each
4th Fri.]
Show me the way to the next whisky bar
Oh, don't ask why, oh, don't ask why
Show me the way to the next whisky bar
Oh, don't ask why, oh, don't ask why
For if we don't find the next whisky bar
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die
I tell you
I tell you
I tell you we must die
Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say say good-bye
We've lost our good old mamma
And must have whisky
Oh, you know why.
Show me the way to the next pretty girl
Oh, don't ask why, oh, don't ask why
Show me the way to the next pretty girl
Oh don't ask why, oh, don't ask why
For if we don't find the next pretty girl
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die
I tell you
I tell you
I tell you we must die
Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say good-bye
We've lost our good old mamma
And must have a girl
Oh, you know why.
Show me the way to the next little dollar
Oh, don't ask why, oh, don't ask why
Show me the way to the next little dollar
Oh, don't ask why, oh, don't ask why
For if we don't find the next little dollar
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die
I tell you
I tell you
I tell you we must die
Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say good-bye
We've lost our good old mamma
And must have dollars
Oh, you know why.
Bertolt Brecht
