Best Drag Show

Four sullen dudes wearing jeans and T-shirts and playing rock music can be a real drag. Vibralux knows this. That's why the Lawrence quartet concocted a splashy and trashy live show that breathed fire onto the local scene. With its pancake makeup, platform boots, feather boas, black-mesh stockings and flame-throwing antics, the gender-bending 'Luxers are not your father's drag band. Vibralux's horror-picture rock show -- a cock-ring circus that's equal parts carnival, concert and transvestite ball -- continues to evolve, with new elements brought in regularly. The self-described "eroto-rockers" are smart enough to mix things up musically, juxtaposing classic cuts from the New York Dolls, David Bowie and T-Rex with its own raucous material. Anything But Joey sings about girl roommates, but only Vibralux could pull off a tune like "Transvestite Boyfriend" without batting an eyelash.
