"...This talented group of musicians and entertainers could easily have walked out of Tim Burton's 'The Nightmare Before Christmas.'
The freaks are performers who choose by their own free will to celebrate their medical anomalies on stage.
The near-sellout crowd Thursday night drew a diverse cross-section of onlookers..." - austin360.com
"The show was an entertaining and educational experience for the large enthusiastic audience...
The high energy music for the show was provided by That Damned Band. It was a back woods mountain-type band... The constant flow of live music and song kept the pace lively and fun. They were excellent...
The audience was duly impressed...an entertaining mix of music, song, live human oddities and working acts... I highly recommend it to all..."

The 999 eyes won my heart. Their fun and raucous show stays true to the carnival spirit. Sansa Asylum, Yard dogs Road Show
THE FREAKSHOW IS BACK ABC channel 7 news. El Paso TX
The 999 EYES is the Worlds last authentic traveling Freakshow featuring real living human oddities, the largest in over sixty years.
As the last authentic human oddities Freakshow (verified on National Geographics Taboo and WE TVs Secret lives of Women), the troupe offers a vaudevillian show so unique, you wont believe your eyes. The troupe recreates the world, one freakshow at a time, with their highly talented cast of Vaudevillian Performers.
Performers include REAL living Freaks (such as a lil miss firefly, the 27 Woman, the Lobster Boy, the human tripod girl, the Flipper Boy and more), Fabulous clowns, a world class sword swallower, and of course, our original live seven piece circus band, THAT Damned Band.
You will love the music. THAT Damned Band sounds like a circus train wreckt into a hobo camp where wandering Jews and travelers from eastern Europe have been learning Irish drinking songs from Tom Waits. The show is complete with an attractive backdrop of original hand-painted sideshow banners and an authentic traveling dime museum that magically transforms any venue into a carnival midway.
Now in its fourth year, the 999 EYES has been selling out shows all over the country to open-minded audiences of all persuasions, demographics, and ALL AGES!
This vaudevillian-style carnival extravaganza displays the notion that genetic diversity is something to be celebrated and not ignored! Dont take my word for it, interviews with the Freak Performers and Project Founder can be read at www.999eyes.com
