On MAY 9th at 8PM, the next generation Viami Mice are crawling out of whatever questionable backstage hole we’ve been living in and taking over The Playhouse… and this time, we’ve upgraded our chaos.

Introducing our NEW SECRET WEAPON: DIRK THUNDERSTICK!!!

Yes, that’s his real name. No, your partner is not safe (male or female).

This man screams like a banshee, struts like he owns your house, and may or may not steal your drink mid-chorus.

Expect: More glam than your mum’s 80s photo album

Riffs so dirty they need a shower

Moves that should honestly require a permit

And absolutely zero dignity

If you like your rock loud, your hair high, and your morals questionable… we’ll see you there.

Bring your friends. Bring your enemies. Bring earplugs if you’re weak.

Viami Mice with Dirk Thunderstick = a night you won’t regret.
