WE AIM TO…

Inspire exuberance through our performances. Shock, uplift, and delight audiences around the world. Leave a memorable impact that questions people’s expectations of the norm, and that promotes sexual positivity and empowerment. Show the world it’s more fun to go all the way than to half-ass. Make a statement through defying stereotypes and fear-based conservatism. Be true to our core, while being irresistible to the global media. Make music that moves people to laugh, to dance, to feel funky and beautiful. Make music and dances that challenge people, that make people think, that create a visceral, un-name-able, oh-shit reaction. Cross boundaries and have no need for translation, as only great art and pop stars can do.

Who we are really (a traditional “band bio” for ya!):

Once upon a time, two star-crossed best friends were born in Manhattan and Massachusettes, respectively. They both loved pink unicorns, Michael Jackson and games of imagination (they were only children). The young Prince$$ Emilia explored the depths of alternative downtown NYC theater while growing up and became a burlesque star in New York City at a tender young (and possibly illegal) age, while Flashpants found herself singing at Lincoln Center and around the world and sweeping the musical theater stage. When the two finally and inevitably collided, at Oberlin College in Ohio while studying music and environmentalism, the stardust explosion lead to brilliance for them and those around them: to projects such as the notorious guerilla street theater surprise showchoir around campus, and the spread of burlesque in their small section of Ohio. After graduating, they decided to move their acclaimed dancing, performing and singing to Brooklyn together and turned their basement apartment into a dance, music & costume studio.

Soon, they were sweeping the stages of NYC burlesque, from The Slipper Room to Lucky Cheng’s, and leaving standing ovations in their wake. Their Global Warming Burlesque Show at Rockstar Bar was picked up for a run at Pratt Manhattan Gallery. With the help of music genius friends - with pedigrees from Oberlin, Eastman, and interactive studios Fluid and Crush + Lovely - they sharpened their midi writing skills and collaborated with cross genre composers and producers - from classical to hip hop. The result is a unique combination of high-energy songs, spanning genres from experimental electro to hard rock, that each has its own journey through a highly polished dance and stage performance. There has never been a performance where at least one audience member does not claim to have seen the best thing that has ever happened in their life.
