Nile is a technical death metal band with dizzying instrumental and compositional skills that has spent 15 years essentially touring nonstop, and they’ve developed a large following, particularly overseas. We do stunts like the human blockhead, where I drive a nail into my nose and pull it out with no injury, or sword swallowing and fire eating, skills that took years to learn.” –Vincent Harris “As sideshows in midways and carnivals started to lose popularity, the term got used less and less, but we built our show on a very traditional style, so we refer to our show as a 10 in one. “You’d see 10 or 11 different acts under one tent for one ticket price,” Crouch says. The Sideshow emulates a tried-and-true old-school performance called a “10 in one,” which simply refers to the number of breathtaking feats the audience might witness.
“It does provide some staging challenges,” says the Sideshow’s Zak Crouch (stage name Captain Darron von Awesome), who runs the production with his partner Kayti McMyermick (aka Miss Trashique), “as far as working around music gear onstage and figuring out set times.” And they don’t do it in a tent out on the edge of town they do it onstage paired up with loud, hard, and fast rock bands. The Tinderbox Circus Sideshow is more or less what it sounds like, with performers onstage banging spikes into their sinus cavities, lying on beds of nails, lifting bowling balls with their earlobes, and doing it all with a combination of vaudeville flair and punk attitude.
