He sings. He dances. He sucks! And he's got a magical, hilariously off-beat show planned for you chock full of overly-emoted contrived ballads, clunky piano accompaniment and more ridiculous costumes than Rudy Galindo at the '94 Olympics! Accompanied by comedy composer Scary Manilow (Dennis T. Giacino), “the guy who writes the songs that make the whole world cringe,” lounge lizard Matias rifles through his twisted songbook of original melodies about fetishes, threesomes, stalking, sex change operations, vengeance, fag hags and porn.

Heyyyy, adorable men!! Thanks for the Xmas/New Year's wishes! I have lost track of what Fringes and cities my various friends are heading towards this year, but I sure hope I'm going to see you...I need a dose of naughty naughty Dennis/Fiely energy...hey, you guys need to "Brangelina" your names. Fielis? Dennely? Anyhoo, if for some crazy reason you ever create a hilariously obscene musical review that includes some kind of RELIGIOUS content (you know, "Catho-Lick My Balls!" or "Christiani-TEASE!" or "Church-zilla!" or whatever), there's a new faith-themed theatre festival here in town that's dying for fun out-of-town acts, and I am informally talent scouting for them. SO. Let me know. Should that happen. :-) xoxox as always, Amy
Please share this unique opportunity with your network of stalkers.. uh.. I mean fans and fellow artist..
All my loungy-love,
Sara

Hey, my friends Mary and Janet LOVED your show in the Berkshires! Did they introduce themselves to you? I sent them to see you because I knew they'd dig LZilla, and indeed, I was right. New fans everywhere -- yayyy!
I Hope you guys are having a wonderful time in Great Barrington! The whole time I was there, I kept saying "Oh, but wait til you see Lounge-Zilla! Wait til you see Lounge-Zilla!" until I drove people crazy and they started stuffing socks and old muffins in my mouth to shut me up. Are audiences loving you, or are they shocked into agogness, or both? Are you in one of the "mods"? (I was in #8, with the tech babes.) Have you robbed Dan Bernitt of his innocence yet? I wish I was still there -- give everyone a huge kiss for me, and break a leg!!!
