THE LOVE MARKETS make songs for a world in which we are all on the market, looking for love against a backdrop of loss, greed, and political corruption. Fronted by singer-songwriter Angie Louise, the band mates the eerie glamour of Weimar Berlin with the bluesy grit of New Orleans. In 2013 The Love Markets released their debut album World Of Your Dreams, drawing raves from Seattle Magazine ("Irresistible... A deliciously dark carnival") and City Arts ("Ruffle-clad ruffians... Uber-belter vocals... Fearsome chops"). Since their birth in 2008, the Love Markets have donned their well-used uniforms of military lingerie for sellout shows at ACT, Can Can, City Arts Fest, and Seattle International Cabaret Festival; been featured guests with Seattle Men's Chorus, Sandbox Radio, and on TV's ArtZone with Nancy Guppy; and provided music for many installments of Vashon's Burlesco Notturno, where they are always enchanted to return.

Janet McAlpin (Mme X, Artistic Director & Producer of Burlesco Notturno) and David Godsey (Her Lawyer) founded Open Space in 2006. They are also co-founders of UMO Ensemble, and have performed together in Red Tiger Tales, El Dorado, Millenium Circus, and much more. Vashon Islanders are most recently familiar with David's spontaneous sermons as The REV in Open Space's rousing Sunday Social Hours. Together Janet and David create original character clown pieces, frequently involving aerial apparatus and fruits or vegetables. Mme X is just back from traveling the world over looking for the perfectly glamourous gown. She found it here on Vashon (thanks to P2V). It is a jungle out there. It was so hot... so wild... so many small people. She and her Lawyer are delighted to be back in the cool, wet and glamorous world of the Pacific Northwest.
