Bar review Live entertainment at Neighbors keeps the crowd happy BY MIRANDA BROADBENT FREELANCE REPORTER It’s Friday night, and Neighbors Bar and Bistro is packed with people waiting for the weekly per- formance of Shebang, a local, and flamboyant, dance group. The antic- ipation grows as the audience eager- ly awaits performers Bianca, Daphne, Diva, Galaxy and Karess. Then the lights are dimmed and the music starts playing. The room is filled with applause as three women step out from behind the sparkling curtains hanging at the back of the stage. Karess, Galaxy and Daphne kick off the show with a dance performance. Midway through the song, Diva runs onto the stage, clearly out of breath, to take her place between Daphne and Karess. “I never had to change sex so fast,” she says into the microphone once the opening number is done. “I ran like Carl Lewis in the 1984 Olympics.” During the show, each performer dances two to three times. Audience members stand around the edge of the stage, holding out tips for their favorite performers and hoping for a kiss in re- turn. Occasionally, one of the perform- ers will pluck a dollar bill out of the front of a fan’s pants with her teeth. The dances this evening are inter- spersed with routines from the per- formers, a birthday celebration and KATE HORTON | SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER KATE HORTON | SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER a dance contest.
