You might recognize these cats as the Vampirates of Wunderkammer fame, the Corporate Booty Dancers of Shentai, or as ambitious economists from Robin Hood; step dancing and swashbuckling their way into the hearts of peasants and audience members alike... Meg, Emily, and Matthew have been dancing together for several years, and in 2006 christened themselves Good Foot (yeah, James Brown!) They love to dance, what more can we say? You should come see them, you will not be sorry. They also love to teach people of all ages and experience levels, and are dedicated to the idea that traditional and contemporary forms of dance are more relevant today than ever before as a means of bringing hope to humanity and bridging the borders between different cultures and social groups. Good Foot Dance Company is committed to keeping traditional percussive dance alive, while testing it's boundaries. (Aaaaand freaking out like ninjas and pirates!)

Matt and Steve Hickman at a performance with Childsplay in Boston, October '07...
Here's a snippet of Matt dancing at the Danny Knicely Cd release concert...
The banjo part doesn't take too much imagination. The teddy bear part is slightly more creepifying. And Quakers worship in silence...I don't know how loud they are at weddings.
aye how have you been? your myspace is looking slick! but anyways, i just got some sweet new tones off www.hottones.info for FREE! they have the tightest variety!
Hey dancing dudes.... Just felt like commenting. I'm exhausted and probably ought to get off the computer, but tired enough I'm not taking my own advice. Just consider the percussive double-dutch act. With spikes. And on fire.
Dude, that last comment was not from me!! Someone hacked my account. Please disregard-yikes! And, btw, congrats congrats congrats, I hope that the new little one (along with mom and dad) is doing superbly.

With a high energy live show with audience participation including sing-a-longs, scream-a-longs, and a doomsday waltz about Global Warming, they play guitar, piano, toy piano, accordion, pots and pans, typewriter and other such 'musical' objects.
Vermillion Lies has played with The Ditty Bops, Jason Webley, Camper Van Beethoven, Curtis Eller, Carla Kihlstedt and many other fabulous performers.

Below Ive posted a link to an interview with Martha Mendenhall "The Baroness Wunderkammer" by Lawrence Krubner. For all who were a part of last years Wunderkammer or just have an interest in it. The interview is about her experience with the C-Ville carnival and views on the life of art.... hope you enjoy.
The Good Foot Dance Company is Rock-N-Roll on feet. Meg, Matt and Emily truly put on an inspiring performance.
You should definitely make a point to catch one of their show's... you wont be disappointed .. I promise.
