WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING ABOUT HELLZAPOPPIN SIDESHOW REVIEW:
 
With last week’s appearance by the Hellzapoppin Circus Sideshow, the Wormhole Bar had its best-ever night – it was standing-room-only to see Zamora the Torture King, Lady Diabla, Penguin Boy and the rest of the self-described “human oddities” to their freaky stuff onstage.”

“With the likes of Waits and Iron Maiden and Barnum as inspirations, Hellzapoppin'  Sideshow Revue is like a merging of two classes of performance traditions which thrive out of the norm and out of the mainstream and the show’s philosophy stays true to form: from rolling through the U.S. in a giant red radio flyer with its menagerie of ‘oddballs’ and ‘strange people’ to eating exclusively at mom and pop places while on the road.”

“Focusing on a younger demographic, 14-40, Bryce “The Govna” Graves combines rock’n’roll with a creepy vaudeville sideshow. He promises real and dangerous entertainment from talented and unique performers.”
-- The Cabell Standard   02-22-2010
 
“The performers embrace their freakishness. They get a thrill shocking crowds with their outrageous antics. Besides, it beats working some boring 9-to-5 desk job.  “They live to perform and enjoy when the audience goes wild. Crowds scream. They cheer. They gasp. Some cover their faces.”
-- Dallas Morning News   12-12-2009
 
Hellzapoppin isn't your typical club show. Graves promises a wild spectacle, mixing music with incredible feats and strange human oddities.”
--- The Charleston Gazette (West Virginia) 2-24-2010
 
“This is not the sideshow of our great grandparents' generation. While the spirit and love for the history of their trade is strong, this bunch of ruffians rivals the excesses of the hardest rocker and intensity of the most malicious devil walking the streets today”
