The Bad Things Vaudeville Show Returns in 2025!

What a strange, dystopian year we’ve had here in America. Doesn’t even feel fun to joke about the apocalypse when it feels so damn close. But, those of us in the thick of it still find time to dance, drink and celebrate. Human nature suggests we enjoy partying while everything burns around us.

In the spirit of hopeless revelry in the face of doom, we proudly present the return of The Bad Things Vaudeville Show! We did this first in partnership with Chaotic Noise Marching Corps last fall at Miller’s in Carnation. We decided we needed to bring it to our favorite venue in Seattle, The Clock-Out Lounge and they were gracious enough of have us. Joining the madness will be The Black Hearts Society, Leslie Rosen and our old partner in crime Miss J9 Fierce.

This is our first show in Seattle in 2025 and actually our first show period since being holed up in the studio all winter recording our forthcoming new record. We’ll be featuring some of these songs alongside Bad Things classics and a couple songs with Chaotic Noise. Point is, it’ll be a night to remember and you’d be an idiot to miss it. Don’t be an idiot!

Get your tickets here before they’re gone. We will also have a fresh new batch of Bad Things accordion-logo t-shirts and every t-shirt order gets a free Bad Things CD of their choice! What a deal. See you soon kiddies.

Thanks for 8 Years of Cabaret Macabre!

Thanks to everyone that came out to Cabaret Macabre’s 8th year. We had a blast. As usual, the lineup was amazing: from the sultry, distinguished sounds of Eliza Rickman; to the briliant junkyard cacophony that is the Pretzelmen; to the sheer Grampy-ness of Baby Gramps and his co-horts; to the beauty and grace provided by all the dancers; to the sassy tongue of MC Diva Le Deviant; and finally to the sloppy drunken mess that is The Bad Things, a good time was had by all. Check us out in our cartoon-inspired costumes. We got old “Speed Racer” Panto there on the left, of course “Beeker” Hogan, “Popeye” the Pickpocket, “Mario” the Gypsy, “Mad Wilcox” as, well, Mad Wilcox and Steve “George Jetson” Kamke bringing up the right hand side. Sheer genius! Or, at least, better than last year. Thanks Columbia City Theater for having us and our crazy friends. Continue reading
