More great live music this weekend

At midnight the team from Guerilla Burlesque opens proceedings with their high-energy dance revue. This week featuring performances from beloved stars Jewellah Magic, Chewie Quixote, SexyS Quintessa, Kiriam MacIntyre, Sho Kyong, and Chucci BigBear, doors open from 11:45pm to allow you to met with friends, find your seat and enjoy the ambience of a live stage show.

At 1am, delightful Lisa Brune returns to Idle Rogue. The dizzying combination of her rich voice, alternative classics and a stunning avatar proved incredibly popular at her first outing on the IR stage, and we look forward to more from this fabulously cool performer

At 2am Idle Rogue favourite, Jordan Reyne, joins us for a performance that melds folk noir, powerful alto vocals and industrial found sound with an accoustic and loop musicality that is unique and original. Jordan Reyne is a premier performer whose recorded works are award-nominated and whose real life resume includes the legendary Glastonbury Festival.

At 3am Kristopher Walpole returns to Idle Rogue after an absence of some months. Kris's original music is the stuff of classic indie ballads - wistful themes, clever guitar and a voice that reminds you of a Saturday morning comedown. It's glorious alt yearning and the perfect finish to an amazing evening at Idle Rogue

Presenting Guerilla Burlesque ...

We are delighted to present the latest Guerilla Burlesque video from the astonishing mind of Ormand Lionheart (FuzonAcid).

Each friday at midnight on Idle Rogue, Guerilla Burlesque present one dazzling hour of fast-paced original entertainment, the best of it's kind on the grid. The divas of Guerilla Burlesque develop fresh dance interpretations of modern songs.

Guerilla Burlesque 2012

Guerilla Burlesque ... your party just got dirty

Inspired by a competition for the cover of BOSL magazine, the divas of Guerilla Burlesque were a-flurry last week for a photo shoot with astonishing photographer Graham Collinson. Graham works entirely within SL - no post-processing, no photoshop at all, and you can see the results, and the reason for our excitement, in his video.

Graham took a number of really beautiful photographs, and this one was chosen as the new promo shot (a small amount of post-processing by chry with Graham's approval). A framed version has been sent out to the Idle Rogue group and subscription list, and you can still get the 2011 promo "They're Coming ..." on the notecard contained in the new version.

or, indeed, you could download it right here :-)

Diva Kiriam McIntyre very generously invited us to use her stunning home for the photo shoot, and this first release, "Party Dirty" was shot in Kiri and Max's atrium. Kiri also built the dressing room set you will see in other photos, which will be released over coming weeks.

Guerilla Burlesque have exciting plans to expand their interactions with their fanbase over the coming months, and you are encouraged to join the Idle Rogue inworld group or the subscription list to keep up-to-date with the dynamic divas. You can also join us on Facebook as we build momentum into 2012.

Guerilla Burlesque perform a weekly dance revue in their purpose-built theatre at Idle Rogue. Doors open at 11:45pm for a midnight start, every Friday.
