Circus of the Stars

Sat 7/12
"The only way I can sum it up is: a freakers' ball with bands," E Bomb guitarist Eddie Lopez says of Planet Sex, the third installment in his band's series of risqué parties featuring the burlesque ladies of Lezbosagogo, Cut Throat Freak Show, body latex painting, bands and more. ("I got some wrestlers comin' out, too," Lopez adds.) Planet Sex kicks off at Static, 7373 Scottsdale Mall in Scottsdale, at 8 p.m. Saturday, July 12. Patrons are encouraged to dress in their most outrageous fetish gear and sexy costumes; prizes are awarded for the best outfits. "Any kind of eye candy, we want for the show," Lopez says. "We've had a girl come out with six other girls on leashes; it's pretty much like a circus."

Sparks fly: Planet Sex requests that all freaks come out Saturday night.

Cut Throat Freak Show, the Valley's answer to Jim Rose's touring outfit, may be the most interesting of the acts -- Cut Throat Jeremy eats glass, breathes fire, sticks six-inch nails up his nose, sets himself on fire, Tasers himself . . . and he's just one-fourth of the Freak Show. "There's a contortionist, too," Lopez says. "And another guy plays with scorpions, puts them in his mouth and stuff."

Admission is $8. Call 480-990-0029 for more information, or visit www.ebomb.tv/planetsex3.htm, www.cutthroatfreakshow.com or www.lezbosagogo.com. - Brendan Joel Kelley
