<p>Here's a small sample of the mountains of luminous praise:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"What do you get when you mix drag and a cappella? Heaven."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"a Solid Ten" </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"... if one is needing the delicious pain that comes from laughing too hard, this is the show that will provide it." </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"The Kinsey Sicks is one of the slickest, most professional, well-rehearsed, and brilliantly crafted acts this writer has ever seen." </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"... get a ticket and go. You won't be sorry."</p>

Finally, they'll discover if it truly isn't easy being green – Houston, we do NOT have a problem. </p>

<p>Shake things up with a <strong><a contents="KinseyGram" data-link-label="KinseyGram" data-link-type="page" href="/kinseygram" style="">KinseyGram</a></strong> - a personalized video greeting from America’s Favorite Dragapella® Beautyshop Quartet! Starting at just $50, you can get a one-of-a-kind <strong>KinseyGram</strong> from Angel, Trampolina, Trixie, or Winnie to celebrate someone’s special day or terrorize your favorite frenemies. </p>
<p>And no, we're not talking about America's Favorite Ass-Kissing Senator from South Carolina. Just like Lindsey Graham's irrational Stockholm Syndrome-like devotion to Trump, nothing says "love ya, mean it" like our new <strong>KinseyGram</strong>! </p>

<p><span class="font_large">The Kinsey Sicks began in 1993 as a group of friends who went to a Bette Midler concert in San Francisco dressed as the Andrews Sisters. Assuming they'd be among many drag queens, they found themselves to be the only ones (other than Bette, of course). They were approached that night to perform at an upcoming event. Their reply - "we don't sing" - was quickly disproved when they realized that all of them had musical backgrounds. They began singing and harmonizing that night, and the seed for the Kinsey Sicks was planted.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large"><strong>About Quarantunes</strong> </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Packed with piercing political parodies and powerful original songs, <em><strong>QUARANTUNES</strong></em> takes on your partisan favorites like an abusive Attorney General (“<strong>Mad Attorney General</strong>”), corrupt political families (“<strong>Grifters</strong>”), and lusty sex scandals/Trixie's side hustle (“<strong>Stormy Daniels</strong>”). </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Not ones to be upstaged by a global pandemic - or to respect social niceties - the girls begrudgingly adapt to the new normal and remind us to keep “Social Distance” and respectfully ask that you “<strong>Don’t-cha, Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me!</strong>” And while some have chosen to “<strong>Let it Go</strong>,” the COVID-19 virus has forced us all, especially singers, to have a new-found appreciation for “<strong>Good Ventilation</strong>.” </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The Kinsey Sicks also take a stand in the ongoing struggle for justice and ask “<strong>Which Side Are You On?</strong>” <em><strong>QUARANTUNES</strong></em></span><span class="font_large"> also doesn’t shy away from heart-hitting tunes with the girls’ take on “<strong>Privilege</strong>” and giving voice to those suffering most during the pandemic with “<strong>The Sound of Sirens</strong>."</span></p>The Kinsey Sickstag:kinseysicks.com,2005:Post/64517452020-10-08T11:49:34-07:002020-10-08T11:49:34-07:00#Proudboys<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/291177/ac4717c27432b3bcb2812ff9ad511456e80f5522/original/ig-square-10-4.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" />Since 1993.</p>The Kinsey Sickstag:kinseysicks.com,2005:Post/64474102020-10-06T10:56:33-07:002020-10-06T12:52:36-07:00"Which Side Are You On?"<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/291177/6eeeab5056e43f8549d677d7d03504f9f9221986/original/which-side-rectangle.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">While our performances of <em>Electile Dysfunction </em>have been suspended, our Presidential campaign has not! So, we are proud to announce LIMITED EDITION <em>Electile</em>-themed merchandise in honor of your continued support and in the spirit of what we intend to do: keep going! </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">These patriotic products were purposefully designed with our hyper-partisan show in mind. Available now through the end of the election season, our red, white, and blue Dragapella® items are an irreverent reminder of our still-necessary political goals amidst the pandemic.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Like many artists who have had their livelihoods upended by recent events, we Kinseys are challenged to quickly find ways to support our work. And although we would love to present live streams - as many of our performing artist friends have done so beautifully - current streaming technology cannot make live a cappella harmonies possible for a group whose members reside in 4 different states covering thousands of miles and three different time zones. At least not yet. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">So while we explore other online performance opportunities to replace our recently canceled gigs, if you feel like helping your FAVORITE Dragapella® group out, how about purchasing some Kinsey merch? Almost all of our media are now on sale with 50% OFF SELECT DVDs & Posters and all CDs just $9.99 (remember, all physical albums come with FREE digital tracks). And as a small token of our appreciation for your appreciation of bad taste, we will include a Classic Quartet Magnet with every purchase. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/291177/853db5607ffc76dcce535f6a2af08fa17e75be4a/original/cds.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_right border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">In short, we can’t yet offer live performances, but if there’s ANY time you’ve thought about getting some Kinsey merch, now is it. And if you play our albums and DVDs loud enough, you'll be guaranteed social distancing from anyone who hears them months after this is all over.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Perhaps you already own the entire Kinsey Sicks' oeuvre - and for that, we are simultaneously grateful and frightened for you - but you still want to support our work as the world's only Dragapella® Beautyshop Quartet. You're in luck! You can make a donation directly to us with the link <a contents="here" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.paypal.com/donate/?token=DFVueKfxcCttSTOMRFDhvGZ60yAkssHFfan53TKt5KJbDo2tYOwWknzSx8VIKDqXpOGxA0&country.x=US&locale.x=&Z3JncnB0=">here</a>.</span></p>

<p>The hilarious and uplifting new Dragapella® musical Electile Dysfunction won sold-out crowds and standing ovations at its debut run in Puerto Vallarta, with audiences singing its praises by calling it "inspiring," "brilliant," "thought-provoking," "their funniest show yet," "deeply moving," "important," and "medicine for the soul". The girls received such powerful positive reactions from fans at the start of this election year that they can't wait to share this hilarious and resonant piece of theater throughout the USA. </p>
<p>With our country's future and our collective sanity hanging in the balance, the girls proudly launch their all-important presidential US-ho tour, which kicks-off in Baltimore, then parades through the East Coast with campaign stops in New York City, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maine. Then after serenading the summer crowds in Provincetown, conquering our nation's capital, and barnstorming the Midwest, the gals set their crosshairs on the West Coast for the remainder of the election year (dates soon to be announced!). More bookings are in the works so book us FAST if you want to bring this must-see musical to your town before the election. </p>
<p><em>Electile Dysfunction</em> is a passionate and outrageously enjoyable antidote to 2020's outrageous, shameful, and truly deplorable presidential politics. It's only available until Election Day, so don't miss out on this limited opportunity to catch one of their most important shows in years. </p>
<p>Help us "Make America Gay Again" by bringing the Kinseys to your twee town, major metropolis, or hoary hamlet! The gals and their Electile Dysfunction campaign are primed to sway voters in your neck of the woods for a limited time (this year only), so reply to this email or send an inquiry to bookings@kinseysicks.com to find out how you can bring The Kinsey Sicks to your election year fundraiser, pride event, performing arts center, music venue, festival, university, or private soiree! </p>

<p>Angel is the identical twin sister of Kinsey Sicks foundress and Dragapella® emeritus Rachel. People constantly say that they can’t tell the two apart, although their miniscule size difference (Angel is a mere 11 inches taller than her twin, not the grossly exaggerated 12 inches) does provide a clue to discerning observers. There are other subtle giveaways. Age, for example: their mother finally gave birth to Angel after being in labor for 11 years between twins, when, in desperation, she sat on top of a Christmas tree, where Angel was born. Angel emerged a fully-grown pre-pubescent with the highly developed vocabulary of a pirate, learned by listening to her mother’s eleven years of obscenities spewed during labor. To this day, nothing rocks Angel to sleep better than the sound of someone screaming “Get OUT of me, you f@&%ing parasite!” Soothingly for Angel, it is something she frequently hears on dates. </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/291177/af776f51a4ba528c4137c2df2103ddc23a848576/original/ks-angel-4.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_center border_" />Angel and Rachel had an ultra-competitive upbringing. When Angel was born, she quickly screamed “I’m famished, where’s the goddamn food!?” And from that moment on, she always made it to the trough faster than her soon-to-be smaller older twin. Pediatricians, veterinarians and forensic pathologists studying the situation believe this may be connected to the twins’ difference in size. </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/291177/79c73ce770161216cbcd39bb88f95629d004445b/original/ks-angel-rachel-2.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_center border_" />Before joining The Kinsey Sicks, Angel was the go-to star for a wide range of self-financed Off-Off-Off-Broadway darlings as Diddler on the Roof, Mary Poppers, and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Toilet. Angel dropped out of show business after the reviews came in from a community production of Equus, in which Angel played the title role. After that, Angel turned to doing something a little more hands-on, working for renowned non-profits such as Doctors Without Boundaries and The Salivation Army. It was when she suddenly and unexpectedly lost her job with Toys for Tits that she “convinced” Rachel to retire from the group. We wish Rachel a speedy recovery and are grateful that, despite her unfortunate tumble from a cliff, she will continue to be able to write for the group and for her loving sister.</p>

And not just the versions you’ve heard on our other nine albums (which you undoubtedly own.) This album, featuring a healthy mix of unhealthy parodies and original songs, includes several unreleased and especially delightful versions of old favorites such as "We Arm the World," "The Rose," and "Don't Be Happy, Worry." Oh, and did we mention that half of the songs on the album are recorded live? </p>
<p>BONUS: In addition to the 25 aforementioned hits, the album also includes four bone-us tracks: never-released love songs to (in no particular order) Donald Trump, Kim Jong Un, San Francisco, and baboons. </p>
<p>On GreatesTits, you get an amazing 100 minutes of songs! Long enough to clear ANY room of unwanted guests! </p>

The Kinsey Sicks would like to thank them for gracing us with their presence, unique talents, and seemingly indefatigable energy.</p>
<p>Reb Irwin Keller, the original Winnie, played host to The Kinsey Sicks for a special evening of conversation and music at Congregation Ner Shalom in Sonoma County. The one-night-only event included trips down memory lane, special musical world premiers, and a peek into the future of America's Favorite Dragapella Beautshop Quartet.<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/291177/25e6cd3c0668560f1a7aa81d9de377ca3b9dada4/original/43286849-10156924294394752-368822585602867200-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The following day, Irwin hosted the talkback session immediately following the final San Francisco performances of fellow co-founder Ben Schatz/Rachel at the historic Marines Memorial Theatre. Also participating was Maurice Kelly, the original Trixie, who, in addition to regaling the audience with his stories, managed to bless us with a few bars of his still-glorious soprano.</p>

<p>The Kinsey Sicks will be featured in an exciting new TV pilot filmed last weekend in Toronto. Crossover brings together US and Canadian LGBT activists and thinkers from across political parties in both countries to discuss and debate a wide range of issues. And the entertainment for the show? Why, none other than North America’s Favorite Dragapella® Beautyshop Quartet! Not only were we invited to sing, but the song led to an unforgettable segment featuring a spirited back-and-forth debate between The Kinseys and one of the show’s LGBT Trump supporters. You won’t want to miss it! </p>
<p>You can’t watch it yet — but we’ll keep you posted. There’s great interest in the show, with financial support for the pilot provided by Air Canada (in hopes of airing the segment on its in-flight entertainment) and by Bell Media, Canada's largest broadcaster. The producers are very optimistic that the show will be picked up and that The Kinsey Sicks’ singing — and debating skills — will be a regular component. </p>

<p>Top 6 Hot Picks in Adelaide <br><strong>~THE ADVERTISER </strong></p>
<p>Profiled in “Top of the Town” in <strong>THE NEW YORKER </strong></p>
<p>“Outrageousness tinged with outrage... witty... hilarious... a band of such inventively diabolical brains... gets sardonically darker - and rewardingly so... It’s a piercing cry from the heart.” <br><strong>~THE WASHINGTON POST </strong></p>
<p>“You’ll love The Kinsey Sicks... Fringe favorites, they’re powerful, brave and at times incredibly moving... But it’s the clever song parodies that are the cherry on top. As ever, their lyrics are as sharp as Bette Davis’ tongue.” <br><strong>~HERALD SCOTLAND </strong></p>
<p>“Riveting... a humbling, hilarious delivery system of painful truths... Things You Shouldn’t Say will push buttons you didn’t know you had. And there is perhaps no higher compliment to give a queen than that.” <br><strong>~FORBES MAGAZINE </strong></p>
<p>“If anyone is compiling a Top Ten Shows that Stick it to Donald Trump, then The Kinsey Sicks should be on it... stunning... tear-jerking and stirring. It brings the audience to its feet.” <br><strong>~THE SCOTSMAN </strong></p>
<p>“A deliciously R-rated romp... in parody tributes that elicit chuckles and guffaws for their boldly blunt lyrics… The quartet isn’t beloved merely for its subversive beauty- and-the-beast looks... The Kinsey Sicks are masters of song parody... These gals can sing -lovely four-part harmonies and Broadway-style belts ranging from soprano to bass… Celine Dion, watch your back.” <br><strong>~D.C. METRO THEATER ARTS </strong></p>
<p>“The most subversive performance of all is Things You Shouldn’t Say by The Kinsey Sicks... the show mocks the president in outrageous songs and wisecracks before it drags the audience through the regime’s most unsettling aspects.” <br><strong>~THE LONDON TIMES </strong></p>
<p>“In the mood for smart, sassy humor delivered by an outstanding a cappella ensemble? The Kinsey Sicks has created musical comedy full of wit, ingenuity, and lipstick... pitch-perfect... a treasure trove of facetiously clever lyrics... endlessly funny… This Beautyshop Quartet is as fine an a cappella group as any I’ve heard... eloquent and essential.” <br><strong>~THEATER PIZZAZZ (NEW YORK) </strong></p>
<p>“Terrific... laugh-out-loud funny... Rachel swiftly and expertly milked enough comic mileage that I was put in mind of the great ad-lib artist Dame Edna... The show began as light, if pointed, satire, but, before it ends, it has asked us to think, it has challenged us to engage, and it has taken us from parody to powerful feeling... The show became hear-a-pin-drop quiet, except for the gasps of recognition, of remembrance, of acknowledgment… I was hooked... one of the most provocative evenings of political theatre I’ve seen.” <br><strong>~D.C. THEATRE SCENE </strong></p>
<p>“Hilarious and mesmerising... What makes this a unique show is that the witty and superbly written satire is accompanied by exquisite four-part harmonies. The Sicks’ vocal skills and onstage chemistry are discernible from a mile away… An absolute must watch!” <br><strong>~EDFEST MAGAZINE (SCOTLAND) </strong></p>
<p>“A raunchy parody of a holiday show that could make even Scrooge smile.” <br><strong>~NEW YORK POST </strong></p>
<p>“With four-part harmonies that would make the cast of Pitch Perfect shake in their stilettos and raunchy comedy that would give other drag queens a run for their money, The Kinsey Sicks are, a must-see at this year’s Fringe.” <br><strong>~GLAM ADELAIDE (AUSTRALIA) </strong></p>
<p>“The Kinsey Sicks are faaaabulous... each of these performers have Broadway level chops; their cabaret artistry is unflagging… they are fantastic performers and musicians. They may be performing blue material in drag but their vocal skills are prodigious... Trust me, you have never heard dirty jokes (peppered with political satire) with this kind of wit... Their material... could not be improved upon.” <br><strong>~THEATER STORM (SAN FRANCISCO) </strong></p>
<p>“Things You Shouldn’t Say is stuffed with gleeful p and hilarious parodies... The quartet deserves heaps of praise... Vocally, the “girls” are spectacular... they effortlessly stay on key, navigating intricate harmonies and singing live, tongue-tying phrases to precision... this bundle of beauties will leave you deeply moved and simultaneously amused.” <br><strong>~MANHATTAN DIGEST </strong></p>
<p>“An evening of humour and emotion. No punches are pulled... The parody songs written and performed by the group are as clever as they are funny, and the harmonies of the group blended extremely well... there are moments of outrageous sexuality and comedy throughout... the selling point of Things You Shouldn’t Say is a heart-wrenching account of their experience of the AIDS crisis in America, and the use of the epidemic as a political weapon by the Republicans... The point of the discourse was reactionary to current affairs, and to implore the audience not to be passive bystanders... A well-executed and vitally significant piece of work with the added bonus of some very talented singing.” <br><strong>~EDFRINGE REVIEW (SCOTLAND) </strong></p>
<p>“They deliver melodies with style and the utmost perfection… completely recommended for anyone that enjoys risqué humor and entertainment, completely original to anything you’ve seen before... We loved Dragapella and thought it was the most fun you can have with your clothes on.” <br><strong>~THIS IS </strong><strong>RADELAIDE</strong><strong> (AUSTRALIA) </strong></p>
<p>“The Kinsey Sicks, a dynamic Dragapella Beautyshop Quartet, explode on stage in their new politically charged show... an outrageous yet heartfelt performance... Things You Shouldn’t Say combines comedy and tragedy, farce and intimacy... heartbreaking... For all its romp and rancor, The Kinsey Sicks wowed with their emotional appeal.” <br><strong>~MOMENT MAGAZINE (WASHINGTON, D.C.) </strong></p>
<p>“These beauty school dropouts are the kind of outrageous performers who give drag a good name. With four-part harmonies to dye your hair for, The Kinsey Sicks are a healthy hoot.” <br><strong>~THE SUNDAY MAIL (AUSTRALIA) </strong></p>
<p>“Quite simply, the show is a blast. There’s bawdy, riotous good fun paired with emotional gut-punches in equal measure... The jokes are as tight as the harmonies, and it’s engaging on every level... “we’re not going anywhere,” concludes a heartfelt monologue. For the sake of their thought-provoking, giggle-inducing act, I sincerely hope they don’t.” <br><strong>~FEST MAGAZINE (SCOTLAND) </strong></p>
<p>“PREPARE to be titillated, stimulated and offended in equal measure by these licentious Chicks with Shticks... What this lewd and lustful Beautyshop Quartet won’t do to pervert a fine song can’t be imagined... this a cappella drag troupe deals in outlandish satire… slick, topical, and subversive.” <br><strong>~THE ADVERTISER (AUSTRALIA) </strong></p>
<p>“Deeper, more complex and yet riotously funny... The show is a mixture of over-the-top camp and compelling moments. There are some things you shouldn’t say but you shouldn’t miss The Kinsey Sicks.” <br><strong>~CABARET SCENE MAGAZINE (NEW YORK) </strong></p>
<p>“The Kinsey Sicks are not your average drag act. The quartet’s luscious harmonise and clever lyrics that pack a comedic punch… unexpectedly poignant... subversive... The incredible vocal ranges of the talented cast mingle beautifully.” <br><strong>~GREAT SCOTT (AUSTRALIA) </strong></p>
<p>“Things You Shouldn’t Say blows the roof off the house… gorgeous harmonies... delicious... poignant… Thank goodness The Kinsey Sicks are here to stay.” <br><strong>~EUGENE WEEKLY (Oregon) </strong></p>
<p>“The audience are in stitches from the get go, and the girls play the parts perfectly... Dragapella is a polished and funny show that will leave you in stitches.” <br><strong>~AU REVIEW (AUSTRALIA) </strong></p>
<p>“Daring, sublime, talented and overall entertaining - The Kinsey Sicks of Dragapella sure know how to please a crowd. After performing together for over 23 years and producing 9 albums, these drag queens will have you laughing and singing along to their harmonies for all the wrong reasons… incredibly inventive and hilarious... Everything Adelaide loved seeing The Kinsey Sicks for ourselves and their crazy, ridiculously out there show that engages the audience whether they feel uncomfortable or not. Be sure to catch Dragapella!” <br><strong>~EVERYTHING ADELAIDE (AUSTRALIA) </strong></p>
<p>“One of the world’s foremost drag acts... electric energy… flawless vocals while integrating some pithy commentary into it. With this commentary is where the Kinseys step up greatly… no-holds-barred... pristine musical numbers and some of <br>the best political gags of the year.” <br><strong>~VOICE MAGAZINE (SCOTLAND) </strong></p>
<p>“Unashamedly ballsy... sharp satire... the foursome can certainly sing up an a cappella storm... This was a smart, hilarious fun night out.” <br><strong>~ENTERTAINMENT HIVE (AUSTRALIA) </strong></p>
