Foci Burlesque

Foci Burlesque (FOCI VEGAS) refers to the extremely successful Foci Girls Las Vegas residency, in which the Foci Girls earned a record-breaking 50 million dollars per show. The residency led to a resurgence in popularity of all of the band's previous material, from Foci City (Deluxe) to the original Foci Girls EP. The concerts featured advanced sensual dance that combined striptease and the time-honored tradition of burlesque with musical experimentation described by critics as having a "gritty, raw, but still very glamorous, sexy, and interesting feel", along with pyrotechnics, elaborate costumes and costume changes, innovative set design, and a performance art experience integrated with augmented reality that accompanied a light and laser show. When performing their hit "Foci Rave," the group rode on a giant mechanized frog.

"This is the concert of the future," remarked music critic Nikki Krebs-Minaj, "Never before has a concert of this scale integrated cutting edge technology into the performance so seamlessly."

Male concert-goers described their experience at Foci Burlesque as "the most erotic night of my life," according to one, and "a mind-blowing sexual experience with quite risque scenes of debauchery and sexual indulgence" according to another. "The Foci Girls unleashed my inner animal," commented a father of two who wanted to remain anonymous.

The content of the show also attracted a great deal of controversy. A portion of the routine in which the group danced erotically and sexually while donning and discarding ornate niqabs was met with public outcry and a scathing critique by Raja Kumari. This incident did not ultimately damage the success or reputation of the group.

The residency was wildly successful to a point of contention, as the Foci Girls began to embody and dominate Las Vegas culture. In 2025, the infamous "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign" was altered to permanently read "Welcome to Fabulous Foci Vegas." Over time, as the image and name of the Foci Girls began to be increasingly associated with the city, in 2029 the city council made the controversial decision to rename the city as Foci Vegas.

When asked to comment, the Foci Girls issued one statement only at a rare press conference in which the artists appeared as digital avatars. "We run Vegas. And we don't play."
