"A band like a dirty martini -- a whole lotta swing with a splash of the blues!"
 Growing up in the 70s and 80s Blue had little interest in the popular music of the day and preferred the swingin' sounds of Benny Goodman and Frank Sinatra. Little is known about his musical education.

The Aging Rockstar, aka Baron S. Cameron, raved about the Pink Flamingo Burlesque's Festival Show in his YouTube video podcast.
He paid tribute to all the burlesque dancers in the show, especially the incredible Shaboobie Boobarella, and then had this to say about the band:
"The orchestra... wow! Remember that "Family Guy" [episode] when Peter wishes he had a soundtrack for his life and everywhere he goes there's music playing... if I had to pick a band that would play the music wherever I went, it would probably be the Pink Flamingo Orchestra.
"They really were freakin' fantastic!"

Pink Flamingo Burlesque combines live music with burlesque by some of the most talented burlesque performers in Vancouver and beyond. It's a high-energy, sexy, and funny experience with a big dose of VavaVoom.
The show features burlesque acts by Shaboobie Boobarella, Valentina Virago, and a host of guest performers carefully chosen for each show. We aim to tickle your senses and open your eyes to a new frontier of musical cabaret.
The Pink Flamingo band is a 6 piece band that will make your hips swing, your shoulders shimmy, and your pants fall to the floor.
They play a mix of bump & grind, saucy swing, calypso, and go-go. Pour yourself some gin, put on something sexy, and get ready to dance!

 Our most recent show, the Vixens from Venus, was a great success, complete with a giant five-foot crescent moon, aliens, costumes and live music. One of my favourite acts was the Randy Robots. Our friend and photographer Greg McKinnon took these great shots at the show.
The Randy Robots routine featured Shaboobie Boobarella and Valentina Virago.
