"While half-baked couples barely on speaking terms went through the motions to satisfy the rigmarole of Cupid's blunted arrows on Valentine's Day, 2008, Yorkshire's freshest, most classy burlesque troupe the Bone Shakers delivered scintillatingly stylishly rehearsed dance routines alongside heavy rock bands, spoon benders, jugglers, and more fire performers than you could chuck a foam-filled extinguisher at, as part of the subversive underground cabaret movement Skewed Circus. Once this craftily choreographed outfit took to the stage at Gasworks rock club, Bradford, there was no extinguishing their explosively flammable verve." Skewed Circus, Bradford.
