Dead Dolls in a Book!

This past fall, Montreal Gazette columnist Bill Brownstein had a book published with a whole little chapter on the Dead Doll Dancers!

Entitled, Montreal 24: Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a City, it celebrates a batch of the writers, musicians, restauranteurs and artists that make Montreal such a vibrant and interesting place to live.

On April 25th, Brownstein will be reading from his book at Blue Metropolis--a bilingual festival celebrating books and writers.

From the potty mouth of Velma Candyass:

"The Dead Dolls were interviewed by this writer awhile back and his book has since been launched. A whole chapter was written about us and the very special venue we perform at [Cafe Cleopatra!!]. Come on down to hear him and meet some of the personalites he has written about (including us !)."

Yep, that's right, some of the DDs will be on hand to schmooze!

At Last, Low Brow Art to Scare Away those Winter Blues!

The Dead Dolls Cabaret is pleased to present:

The Swamp Pussy Revival Cabaret!!!

i.e., The Dead Doll Dancers tear a strip off Old Man Winter with a Mardi Gras Cabaret!!!

Montréal’s favourite dancing zombshell burlesque ghouls are wriggling from the seamy frozen underbelly of the city with their 2nd annual February cabaret.

This year’s event is tastefully entitled “The Swamp Pussy Revival” and pays homage to the heyday of Mardi Gras. Be sure to catch this one - when it comes to delectably filthy bump-‘n-grind, raucous dancing and unwilling audience participation, no one does it better than the strangely compelling Dead Doll Dancers!

The Dolls have smeared their particular brand of sleaze from the dirtiest dives to Canada Council-sponsored venues. Now, they return to their customary stomping ground in the heart of the red-light district, Café Cleopatra, which they are attempting to have declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

With a ravenous following ranging from brand-spanking-new lesbians to professional gentlemen old enough to know better, this event is sure to be as popular as November 2008’s “Haunted Ho-Down”, which featured two Dolls wrestling in a kiddie pool full of vanilla pudding.
How will they top that? You’ll have to be there on February 21st to find out …

Featuring guest artists

Big Moves, the perennially popular Boston burlesque troupe dedicated to fat positivity;

Nat King Pole, the carrot-topped drag rapper adored by ladies everywhere,

Dakini Dancers with their fusion style of baladi.

Samba Ritmundi will show us the sexy way Brazilians celebrate carnival.

Reena the Drag Queen Extraordinaire of Cafe Cleopatra will perform !

Aytahn Ross will juggle his balls!

Tommy Toxic -performance art! Fabulous costumes!

The Dead Doll Dancers will shuffle and shimmy !

Limbo contest! Real good prizes! Beads and Boobies! Burlesk!

Shimmies and Shivers!

Beware of the mysterious swamp pussy creature!



Come and get your foxy zombie fix!

With their torn fishnets, gaudy second-hand duds, rampant body scarring and pallid faces, is it any surprise that a whole chapter was written about them in Bill Brownsteins' recently published book "Montreal 24- Twenty -four hours in the Life of a City" ?

Launch Party Antics #4: Meet the DEAD DOLL DANCERS!

Yessss!! So this is the FOURTH in a series of band and launch collaborator introductions here on the blog. Please get to know these folks so that you may responsibly take part in some consensual party-ness on Nov. 21st.

About the Dead Doll Dancers:
"The Dead Doll Dancers has been told by LicketySplit -the artful smutzine as being Montreal's raunchiest troupe of dancing girls.The term 'boundary pushing burlesque' has been thrust upon us ..... However the Mirror perhaps described us best as 'doing crack whore booty shaking'. yup...we are zombshells who simply like to shake it. We have performed at corporate events and other soirees requiring ambient zombie girl dancing."

Check out their MySpace page here.

Keep a look out for these ladies as they cavort around town! They'll be helping party goers into their masks as well as to become Dead Dollz for the evening. Yessss!
