The Belles of the Underground or TBOTU, are a group of burlesque and variety performers residing in PGBC and surrounding areas.

 

 

The founding members wanted to create a stage and a safe space for all performers to express themselves freely and authentically, while working with their community to collaboratively bridge the gap between artists and anyone who wants to join us on this amazing journey. In following this dream they’ve created just that! Performing in their home town to sold out audiences, redefining social norms with groundbreaking performances that are meant to inspire, encourage self empowerment and old school entertainment, the Belles are only getting started!

They formed after a Halloween Party at Electric Lackeyland and despite their name, quickly became a big deal to the four women involved. With multiple songwriters, sharing vocal duties and a collaborative approach, they wasted no time crafting a set list of all original tunes. Their individual styles are eclectic, adding a dynamic edge to their songwriting. On stage there is no doubt that these four friends are in their happy place, so come see what all the fuss is about!

A unique brand of Yukon Funk.

 

 

High energy bass-led grooves, soaring vocals, and a tight horn section; this isn’t what you’d expect from a band coming from the Yukon in Canada’s North, but it’s exactly what you get with Whitehorse’s Major Funk. It’s also a great formula to get a crowd moving, and they’ve got this down to a science. Several years of research and development in the studio and on the road has refined the band’s sound into something familiar but fresh, epic but accessible, and dangerously infectious. Most importantly, however, it’s a ton of fun, and it makes you want to dance. It’s all on display in their growing discography of top notch funk-pop music and their unforgettable live shows: a groove-heavy genuinely good time that will stay with you long after the last note.

“A soul-based take on brassy funk. Stuffed with chinking guitars, blistering brass and feisty vocals.” -Bill Buckley (soulandjazzandfunk.com)

 

“Probably the most danceable band I can think  of.” -Angela Drainville, Atlin Arts and Music Festival Producer (Yukon News)

 

“What can’t be understated is the deliberate nature in which this 6-piece ensemble crafts their hip shaking, feel-good tunes.” Cups n Cakes Network
