The Lampshades

Here's Kate Flannery of The Lampshades (and, of course, The Office), with partner Scot Robinson, and they will drag you down to the sleaziest lounge in town: "The Lampshades, the best fake lounge act in town. Who else would have a gal in a red poly jumpsuit singing Donna Summer's 'Last Dance' while her scotch-soaked stage partner reads a list of the recent Hollywood dead? After nine years of performing live in Hollywood they are becoming the thing they are making fun of. Thanks, Father Time. Like a fine wine, baby.
