Coming soon to the Southgate House is an event that all progressive Cincinnatians with a wild streak should know about. Freakout Fest will be bringing you a night of dance-punk bands, stripper clowns, burlesque acts and performance art from LA, Chicago, Michigan, Columbus, New York, Cincinnati and more!
Performances by: Punk Bunny, Ultraviolet (Sound), The Smacks!, Le Technopuss13s, the Burlesque Ladies from Barnyard Burlesque, Sara Clown School, Erin Feller, John Handcock, Nina Wright and the Military Carnage Quartet, Cliquetalk, Queen Mae and the Bells, Traits, Micah Freeman.
According to event organizer and artist Nina Wright, former Director of OTR based Skull Lab gallery and music venue, “This is an event to break though the conservative fog that hovers over Cincinnati.” Come out to show your support of local underground art and music, and have a freakin’ great time.
Freakout Fest is Saturday April 5, 9pm – 2am, at Southgate House (24 E 3rd St. Newport, KY 41071) in the ballroom and parlour.
