Those looking for a truly different seasonal show each December have hopefully by now discovered the annual “Holiday Pageant Spectacular” by BEEFUS. If not, don’t miss the 2025 edition, which was announced as the last. Hinky the Chicken Heap tells the story of some lab-grown tissue that wakes up and travels through Madison looking for the spirit of Xmas. What could go wrong? It’s simulcast on WORT-FM’s Psychoacoustics, and the Rev. Velveteen and Bad Sister Heidi will be spinning tunes; Xposed Foreheads opens.

BEEFUS, Madison's weirdest 8-piece freak flag meat-sound peddlers, bring you their 13th and final Holiday Pageant Spectacular. This year’s tale is HINKY THE CHICKEN HEAP, a cockles-warming fable about a pile of lab-grown chicken tissue that opens its purple eye and waddles through Madison, WI looking for the spirit of Xmas. Featuring all-original, brand-new songs, circus antics, trombone trouble, and audience participation, the BEEF crew aim to make this the best holiday pageant ever. With support and simulcasting and disc-spinning by WORT 89.9 FM's PSYCHOACOUSTICS crew, this show will be spewed all over the airwaves.

Milwaukee's Xposed 4Heads is a high-energy fun rock band that performs quirky original songs with costumes, props, themes of sci-fi and a witty sense of humor. Their music is played on SiriusXM, college and indie stations across the US. Their music videos are screened in film festivals all over Earth. X4 live shows will make you dance and laugh. Last summer they opened for Devo at Summerfest and have played DEVOtional, Sputnik Fest, MetroJam, Pride Fest, Brady Street Festival and many more. You can check out their music on any streaming platform.
