MAKE SOME NOISE:
The Soundtrack for The Great Boston Burlesque Exposition
Music is a crucial part of the burlesque experience. It made us
sad that it didn't look like we were going to be able to have live music
at The Great Boston Burlesque Exposition. So sad, we
came up with an alternative.
We've pulled together a compilation CD of Boston area bands (and some special guests) that understand the heart and soul of burlesque. The wide variety of styles in the collections highlights not only Boston's musical diversity, but also the many different faces of today's burlesque scene.
If you're a burlesque performer, you're sure to find inspiration on this album. If you're a burlesque fan, you're sure to find a few new favorite tunes — and maybe even a few new favorite bands.
Make Some Noise is going to be distributed at The Expo, plus sold at local record stores, national burlesque events, and on the web.
You can get a copy or three of your very own for only $15.00 (including shipping). Click the BUY NOW button to get your copy of this one-of-a-kind burlesque compilation.

His Band Of All-Stars will keep you wanting more and more with their
combination of originals written in the true rhythm & blues vein,
covers from independent label rhythm & blues artists, and jump blues
classics from the early 1950's on through the early 1960's!

juliannes! With four self produced CD's under her belt (and one
gestating right now) this one ma'am band puts Sin in her syncopation for
a monkey spankin' good time! Known as the musical snackcake with the
moist creamy center, Kitten will tantalize your tastebuds with her

Ass Look BIG?" is a hysterical romp through Kitty Glitterland with all
original music and silly shenanigans
galore.
PREACHER JACK
-
Candy's Boogie Woogie
"Preacher" Jack Lincoln Coughlin was born Feb. 12, 1942 and grew up in
Malden, MA. Known as much for his rambling (and sometimes mind numbing)
recitations and righteous holier-than-thou diatribes on life and love as
for his brilliant "boogie-woogie" style piano playing, Jack has thrilled
and mystified fans for well over 40 years with his over-the-top
performances and self-taught country style, honky tonk tales. He has recorded for Ken Irwin's Rounder
Records & Black Rose Records. Influenced by people as diverse as The Hillbilly Bard Hank
Williams to Liberace, from Mahalia Jackson to Jerry Lee Lewis, Jack's
sets often reflect the mood he is in or (in most cases) whatever comes
to his fingertips first.
REV. BOB & THE DARKNESS
-
My Way Home
A righteous mix of roots music and booze used to spin tales of lust, murder and revenge.
The 7 piece ensemble consists of classical guitar, upright bass,
accordion, 5 string violin, drums, percussion, horn, and male and female
vocals in 3-4 part harmonies.
The track ÒMy Way HomeÓ is originally from their debut album Endsville,
and appears here for the first and only time with the current line-up. We can cure what ails ya'!
THREE DAY THRESHOLD -
I Must Admit
Three Day Threshold could be the soundtrack to a shotgun wedding, tractor pull, or dog fight. It's bluegrass on overdrive, it's an after hours rockabilly prom, but most of all it's a show not to be missed.
UNCLE SHOE & THE FATBACK BOYS -
She Knows It
"Uncle Shoe has a manner of tuneful delivery that appeals to the delight
of the most discerning audiences and his lilting streetcorner
soliloquies are equally commanding of attention from the casual
passers-by. His voice can fill a concert hall and effortlessly match the
din of an elevated train. His songs are at once boastful, humorous,
opinionated and romantic. It is difficult to not find oneself
immediately taken up and carried away on the infectious melodies that
issue forth from his masterful banjo playing, hollers, & captivating
voice."
