Earth Cobain and the Flannels
[ Music | Theater ]
The character act aptly named Earth Cobain and the Flannels derives their look from the icons and attitudes of Seattle "grunge" and the personalities and egos of the LA "street rock scene." Stage personas such as James Addiction, Flea 11, Mo Doubt, and the indelible ringleader of it all Earth Cobain...you'll never know what to expect and when it will happen. The raw and in-your-face "reality show" dialog that they pull off while still performing music from the worlds best outlaws, punks, and rebels to ever grace music is a one-of-a-kind experience. Envision a controversial art-house theater group combined with the greatest anti-heroes of music ever known to colaborate on a show. These rock stars battle, bicker, and even embrace with all the selfish stupidity you'd expect from their over inflated egos. From 'record royalties' to "who didn't write the songs" they're ridiculous. Song selections jump from Nirvana to Nine Inch Nails, to Neil Diamond and the Beatles, to even Johnny Cash and Vanilla Ice. Instrument change-ups and soaring solos showcase the raw talent of the band. So for true, to the bone, live entertainment, there's no choice but the almighty EARTH COBAIN AND THE FLANNELS.

The Nancy Rayguns
[ 80's | Costume ]
Hello and welcome, we are The Nancy Rayguns. We come from the past: the 1980s to be exact. Word reached us that following the ‘80s, music became stagnate and totally not bodacious. Something had to be done.
With the help of our VAL-2600 supercomputer, we have converted a 1981 Volkswagen Vanagon into a rad time machine and traversed time and space to save the world from bogus music (while seeking out filling stations with diesel fuel to power our time machine van).
Our mission? To rid the world of “modern” bogus music and party proper with the sweet bitchen jams of the 80’s. Not just a cover band, the Las Vegas-based Nancy Rayguns is a SHOW, complete with stage sets, music videos, comedy, and of course VAL-2600, 1985’s most powerful interactive supercomputer.

Vegas 911!
[ 90's Rock ]
Vegas 911! is the only high-energy tribute to 90's rock. These four dudes throw it so far down you'll think you're in Australia.....or Compton.....errr whatever. Their show is a rockumentary-style parody of the 90’s, where musician comics are playing police officers for no reason. Most of the material is improvised, using a broad outline incorporating audience interaction and music as the script. It's pure debauchery and fun tailored to the crowd. From Green Day to Rage Against the Machine, Buckcherry to Nirvana, its youth in revolt at it’s finest. Superior musicianship and always arrestingly funny, it's the almighty Vegas 911!
