The End of Times Orchestra is from Grand Rapids Michigan. They have been the house band for the Super Happy Fun Time Burlesque show for two years. They are a group of six multi instrumentalists. The six comprise eclectic arrangements from orchestral rock, folk and jazz. The melodies are complex to down right confusing. As soon as you get used to a time signature in a song they change it on you. Their jazz tracks remind you of good ole Dixieland, with a slight modern twist. The signing style is vibrato to the V; it is like Queen on steroids. – Intern AndrewCLIFTON ANDERSON
