Chart-Topping Comedy Band Ninja Sex Party Announce “Rock Hard 2017” U.S. Tour

Fillmore Auditorium

Saturday, September 23

Showtime 8:00 pm / Doors 7:00 pm

Chart-topping comedy band Ninja Sex Party has announced a slate of live dates for their “Rock Hard 2017” U.S. tour. Gearing up to release two full-length albums in 2017, the band recently released their first new song in over a year, “Cool Patrol,” hitting #1 on the iTunes Comedy chart, with the official music video racking up more than 1,000,000 views in the first week alone. Fans can view the “Cool Patrol” video on the band’s YouTube channel and purchase the single at iTunes.

As a band, Ninja Sex Party has but one goal: to take your body sweetly by the hand and then rock its face off with amazing music. Led by frontman Danny Sexbang, the band’s tender-yet-firm, sensual-yet-masculine, total-horndog-yet-somehow-not-creepy-about-it singer, Ninja Sex Party is rounded out on keyboards by Danny’s best friend and roommate Ninja Brian, the ultimate martial arts champion/electronic music enthusiast. The duo will be joined on the road and backed by TWRP, an elite squad of rock stars from Canada, space, and/or the future.

“This is clearly going to be the best rock tour of all time,” says NSP frontman Danny Sexbang. “And if all these shows don’t sell out within 5 minutes, Ninja Brian will eat his own face on live TV.” Sexbang’s partner, Ninja Brian, could not be reached for comment.

Ninja Sex Party’s three original comedy albums NSFW, Strawberries and Cream, and Attitude City are “a master class in rad dick jokes set to even radder music” and “definitely great albums to bone to”, according to Sexbang. Additionally, the band’s cover album Under the Covers, which reached #9 on the Billboard Rock Chart,takes listeners on a “totally epic” tour of NSP’s favorite songs from the 1970’s and 80’s, such as “Take On Me”, “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”, and “Rock With You”.

In real life, Danny Sexbang and Ninja Brian are Los Angeles-based musicians, comedians, and YouTubers Dan Avidan and Brian Wecht. Dan is one of the co-stars of the gaming channelGame Grumps, which has almost four million subscribers, and Brian is a former theoretical physicist who left a professorship to work on Ninja Sex Party full time. Since Ninja Sex Party’s inception in 2009, the band has performed sold-out shows coast to coast, released more than 30 music videos, garnered just under a million YouTube subscribers, and was named one of the Top Ten Sex Artists in Australia by Spotify.

Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash

 Vintage Theatre presents

Ring of Fire: the music of Johnny Cash
Created by Richard Maltby Jr. Conceived by Bill Meade
Directed by Kelly Van Oosbree

Vintage Theatre and Lowry’s Spotlight Theatre present the Denver premiere of “Ring of Fire: the music of Johnny Cash” June 23 through August 6. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays and Monday, July 3 at 7:30 p.m.; Sundays at 2:30 p.m. at the Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St., Aurora 80010.  Tickets are $28 - $34 and available online at www.vintagetheatre.com or by calling 303-856-7830.

From the opening chords of vintage Country to Rockabilly, Rock n’ Roll, searing ballads and gentle songs of love and deep faith, Ring of Fire packs a score that provides a rich fabric in which to lay down the story of Johnny Cash. The show features 38 classic hits – including “I Walk The Line,” “A Boy Named Sue,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” and the title tune –and paints a musical portrait of The Man in Black that is a foot-stompin’, crowd-pleasin’ salute to a uniquely American legend!

The cast includes Ray Anderson, Benjamin Cowhick, Isabella Duran, S Parker Goubert and Eric Weinstein.

Richard Maltby conceived and directed the only two musical revues to ever win the Tony Award for Best Musical: Ain't Misbehavin' (1978: Tony, N.Y. Drama Critics, Outer Critics, Drama Desk Awards, also Tony Award for Best Director) and Fosse (1999: Tony, Outer Critics, Drama Desk Awards). He was director/co-lyricist for the American version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Song and Dance, (1986) starring Bernadette Peters. He was co-lyricist for Miss Saigon (Evening Standard Award 1990; Tony nomination: Best Score, 1991). He is also well known as a constructor of cryptic crossword puzzles.

Bill Meade began his career as a musician. He has been a featured soloist with numerous orchestras, including the Zurich Philharmonic, Prague Philharmonic, and Jacksonville Symphony. On Broadway, he has been involved with more than 50 musicals. He is a Grammy-nominated record producer with a wide range of theatrical releases to his credit, from Hello, Dolly! with Carol Channing to Elegies by William Finn.

Dita Von Teese / Fillmore Auditorium / July 20

BURLESQUE ICON DITA VON TEESE

SET TO ASTOUND AUDIENCES WITH
THE WEST COAST RUN OF HER

NORTH AMERICAN TOUR OF“THE ART OF THE TEESE” VARIETY SHOW

Fillmore Auditorium

July 20

Showtime 7:30 pm / Doors 7:30 pm

International Queen of Burlesque, Dita Von Teese, is set to bring audiences an opulent evening of glamour and seduction in her critically acclaimed, “The Art of the Teese” which kicks off July 6th in San Diego, CA.
 

"I'm proud to bring together a show-stopping, diverse cast of the crème de la crème of modern burlesque stars that elate and inspire! The Art of the Teese is an opulent and riotous spectacle that is not to be missed!"

The decadent spectacle treats audiences to four of Von Teese’s most exhilarating performances, including a brand new version of her iconic “Martini Glass” routine which features a beautiful new champagne glass, crystalized from top to bottom with over 250,000 Swarovski crystals.  She will also be debuting a brand new costume for the routine featuring her recently added male dancers. Each show throughout the tour will showcase the stunning visuals of the exclusive acts that have made Von Teese the consummate performer in modern Burlesque, captivating the imagination and transporting audiences worldwide.

This leg of the tour brings new acts never before seen in the United States including “Lazy,” an act only ever performed at The Crazy Horse Paris (including new costuming from British designer, Jenny Packham), an all-new ballet-themed act “Swan Lake Stripteese,” plus a revitalization of her show-stopping Cowgirl Act with her sexy male “Vontourage.”

The “Burlesque Superheroine” (Vanity Fair) will be joined on stage by an eclectic supporting cast of today’s brightest stars of Burlesque.

Von Teese’s tours have appeared in Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Toronto, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Ana, and Seattle, Atlanta, and Ft. Lauderdale.

The Los Angeles Times says, “Her attention to detail and embellished glitz onstage is unparalleled, even for pop stars. From the sparkle of each and every Swarovski crystal (hundreds of thousands swathe pretty much every prop and article of clothing in the production) to the sensual lighting that caresses her slender porcelain frame to the vampy music that sets the mood for the procession of themed vignettes - your eye cannot turn away from the utter flawlessness of it all."

"Dita is absolutely mesmerizing. She elevates the art of tease with an effortless grace and ease that is thoroughly intoxicating, and the elegance and beauty of her movements will truly take your breath away! It is delicious, powerful and playfully provocative!"
- Demi Moore –

"Dita is the true definition of glamour."
- RuPaul –

"Dita exudes timeless grace. She is our generation's Bettie Page, but on a much different level. She was born to entertain. Love that girl!"
- Aaron Paul –

"Dita's show is timeless, with a powerful delivery that explores the sensuality of the human spirit. With jaw dropping costumes, a thunderous crescendo of music and superb production design, Dita brings burlesque to a whole new level. The show is dazzling and sexy...a must see!!"
- Debi Mazar -

Dita Von Teese – Taking audiences on a journey into fantasy and spectacle, Dita is renowned for her ornate sets and dazzling haute-couture performance costumes adorned with hundreds of thousands of Swarovski crystals. This “Burlesque Superheroine” (Vanity Fair) determines every aspect of her burlesque shows from the sets and costumes, to the music and lighting.  She has also been celebrated for her distinct sense of style and remains on top of “Best Dressed” lists internationally. Beyond her live performances, Dita has curated her brand across multiple platforms including her own lingerie line, fragrances, eyewear, gloves and stockings.  In addition, Von Teese is a New York Times Best-Selling author who recently released her third book, "Your Beauty Mark: The Ultimate Guide to Eccentric Glamour.” For more information please visit, www.dita.net

Charles McPheeters was a former nightclub entertainer who converted to Christianity in 1965 and, with his wife Judy, became a leader in the emerging Jesus People Movement. From 1972-1975, Charles and Judy McPheeters operated a multi-phased street ministry called The Holy Ghost Repair Service out of The Paraclete Bookstore and the Planet Jerusalem Coffeehouse in Denver, Colorado, later known as the Oasis of Hollywood. They also published a street paper, called The End Times. 

Charles McPheeters album entitled “Faces” is considered a Christian music classic. He died of cancer in 1982 at the age of 38. His commitment to take the Gospel to addicts, prostitutes, and street people is a legacy that continues today in the ongoing work of Charles’ widow Judy, and her husband, Ron Radachy at the Oasis of Hollywood.
