My music in a burlesque show number!

Sign in to disble this ad
My band is friends with a couple of sexy young burlesque dancers in Philly. One of them requested the use of one of our tunes in her show this weekend! Will be sure to post a link to the video when it is up next week! Never thought I'd see the day when a hot young lady stripped on stage to my band's music

Here's the video. Finally. Definitely an interesting act, haha...but hey, how many of you can say you had someone publically take their clothes off to your music

*Edit* Seeing as some people might be offended, you can simply send me a PM if you're really interested in seeing the link

I've had that happen! Many moons ago, one of my friends was a DJ at an "exotic" dancer club. We'd go in there and he'd play our CD while the girls were "dancing"! It was cool for a minute...

Just as a precaution, you may want to make this a "request this link if you're of age" thread. I enjoyed it, but there are some younger members and some people that will be offended that anyone can see the vid! I don't know if it might get you banned, but I'm almost positive it'll get you in hot water! Thanks!

Ah, good call....well, I don't want to get banned, so I will simply remove the link. If you're of age, send me a request and I'll forward you the link

I used to be in a burly band in San Francisco, we had gorgeous gals dancing and losing clothes to our music all the time. Here's our old (and very clunky/amateur) website:

Here's a typical stage scene:



And here's me with the Pontani Sisters:

Of course I mean it all as a compliment.

Well, the pay is hit or miss, but I'm my own boss and I set my own hours! The only real bummer is finding and keeping reliable henchmen.

Well, you see, that's why you contract out the hiring of henchmen. I use an agency that specializes in that kinda thing. You should check em out.
