Viva Los Holidays

Tue, Nov 08 2005

Masked musicmakers Los Straitjackets will once again unite with burlesque dancers The World Famous Pontani Sisters for a "Christmas Pageant" tour spanning the entire month of December.

Frequent collaborator Kaiser George will lend his vocal and saxophone talents to the shows, which begin December 1 at Cleveland's Beachland Ballroom.

A three-night stand is scheduled near Chicago at FitzGerald's in Berwyn, Ill., including a "children's matinee" December 4. The tour will then head west for a series of shows in Oregon, Washington and California.

Gigs in Maryland, New York, Minnesota and Wisconsin fill out the itinerary. The tour will wrap with a New Year's Eve show at Green Bay's Oneida Casino.

Los Straitjackets, the Pontani Sisters and Kaiser George were on the road together just a few months ago on the Summer Twist Party tour
