One
day Miss Vaudie Va-Boom had a vision...
It
was a vision of beautiful scantily clad women enticing audiences with their
long legs and swirling skirts to be their next meal! Her
sick and twisted mind took her places where only the most genious of
psychophaths would dare to go...
And
the Can-Cannibals were born!
The
Can-Cannibals Dance Troupe was started in January of 2008 with only 4 dancers.
We honed our skills in a dark and dirty warehouse in Downtown Oakland, feeding
off the flesh of unexpecting victims, until we were ready for our debut
performance in Febuary of 2008 at Va-Boom's first Valentine Punk Rock Cabaret.
Now
4 whole years later we've doubled in size, put a huge variety of shows under
our (garter)belts, and have made a name for ourselves in underground and
mainstream scenes alike!
The
Can-Cannibals now consist of 6 lovely females with a hunger for flesh, a thirst
for blood, and a passion to dance!
And they have recently danced themselves right into a
new short film...
Always
Wrong Film presents the first ever 'fake' splatterpunk double feature done in
grindhouse style trailers. Starring the Oakland, CA based punk rock burlesque
troupe The Can-Cannibals. The project is an homage to VHS era of exploitation
films. In 'The Can-Cannibals,' a group of cannibalistic burlesque dancers are
being hunted down by Detective turned vigilante Elmo Washington. In 'Rebelle's
Revenge,' the dance troupe returns to play a ruthless street gang. When one of
the member's doesn't agree with her gang's turn to drug dealing she is betrayed
and left for dead. She recovers and comes back to exact her revenge on her
former gang. The trailers also feature underground music ranging from Dario
Argento/John Carpenter inspired synth tracks to hardcore/punk music. All music
used with permission.
Now sit back, relax, and enjoy their short film…
The
film has enjoyed some recent success, as it has been shown at several festivals
including:
Oakland
Underground Film Festival (Oakland, CA)
