Suicide Girls Blackheart Burlesque returns to the Showbox on Wednesday, November 7th. This will be the first date on the girls’ current tour, which showcases wonderful performances by some of the Suicide Girls’ pin-ups. Suicide Girls, a website with a community, is indeed known for its commitment to its belief that: “What some people think makes us strange, or weird, or fucked up, we think is what makes us beautiful.” Agreed. The variety of artistic references in the burlesque, from Napoleon Dynamite to Black Panther, is truly amazing. The show is 18+, with a few tickets still available.

Swedish singer Tove Styrke recently played at the Tractor Tavern in support of her third studio album, Sway, released earlier this year. It was the last show for Tove and her two-member backing band during the US leg of the Sway Tour, which is continuing now in Europe. It was an elaborate stage for the venue with hundreds of individually lit white roses – and Tove passed out fresh red roses to the audience near the end of her set. Young singer-songwriter Au/Ra opened.
