- [Copro Gallery Show Finalized](http://krampuslosangeles.com/copro-gallery-show-finalized/) - Thanks so much to Copro Gallery and Albert Cuellar for curating and stellar show of Krampusy awesomeness! The group exhibition, "Naughty or Nice" will run through January 4, 2014, and you can get all the details here. At the opening reception, Krampus LA will construct a special outdoor tableau, a sort of infernal Krampus habitat
- [St. Martin's Day and Nußmärtel](http://krampuslosangeles.com/st-martins-day-nusmartel/) - Last night was the eve of St. Martin's. In certain regions of Germany there is a cousin of Krampus who greets children with enticing handfuls of nuts and sweets AND SWITCHES on that night. He is called the "Nut Martin or Marty" or "Nußmärtel" There's also a "Pelzmärtel" ("Furs-" or "Beatings-Martin" depending on which etymology
- [Just Added to The Krampus Ball](http://krampuslosangeles.com/just-added-krampus-ball/) - Just added to the bill for The Krampus Ball -- a brief, but surely memorable appearance will also also be made by postmodern pop/porn star Actually Huizenga whom you likely know through her 2007 viral video... http://youtu.be/6EmqsEHl3P8
- [Ladies and Gentlemen, The Kramps!](http://krampuslosangeles.com/ladies-gentlemen-kramps/) - On December 7, Krampus LA welcomes... ...to our inaugural even, The Krampus Ball. This never-before-seen spectacle features members of the perpetually cartoonish and surreal RADIOACTIVE CHICKEN HEADS (with surprise guests) transforming themselves into Lux and Ivy’s shaggier and hornier alpine cousins, performing “bad music for bad children.”
- [Kustom-Kulture Krampus](http://krampuslosangeles.com/kustom-kulture-krampus/) - Krampus LA co-founder Al Guerrero's has completed a Big-Daddy-Roth-inspired mask so monumental in scale we need a wider lens for those towering horns and endless tongue. As you might guess, Al is also the designer of our So-Cal inflected Krampus LA logo featured in the banner above. Our European cousins overseas may have four centuries more experience,
- [New Suit by Jeryd Pojawa](http://krampuslosangeles.com/new-suit-jeryd-pojawa/) - LA Krampus Jeryd Pojaw (AKA Raven Jake Dawes) has his suit all tricked out and ready to set you naughty kids straight.

- [Brass Band to Accompany LA Krampus ](http://krampuslosangeles.com/brass-band-accompany-la-krampus/) - JUST ADDED! The normally Balkan musicians of Free Range Orkestar (below) will be sliding into Austrian mode to provide musical soundtrack for the galumphing Krampus herd visiting December's Downtown LA Art Walk. The charming Max Fleischer cartoon below is accompanied by their more typical Balkan sounds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=e-wfvb_AgzY#t=14

- [Costume Tips: Bells & Bell Belts](http://krampuslosangeles.com/bells/) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRaqgtORHnI Listen to those bells! If instead of watching videos, you've just been looking at pictures (especially old postcard illustrations where bells are notably absent), you might not understand the role sound plays in a Krampus' run. The cacophony of bells is a huge part of the overall effect and creates a great sense of anticipation even before
- [Costuming Tips: American Masks](http://krampuslosangeles.com/costuming-tips-american-masks/) - If you want a real Krampus mask from Europe, it's possible to buy one online as discussed in a recent posting. Some our fellow American Krampuses in the Philadelphia Krampuslauf do buy European masks. They're expensive, but at least can also serve as a nice year-round display piece. But these masks can cost several hundred dollars even without overseas
- [Costume Tips: Switches, Baskets, Chains](http://krampuslosangeles.com/switches-baskets-chains/) - Most people familiar with Krampus are familiar with his switches -- but may be confused about their actual use. European Krampuses (these days) never hit children, though they may lightly and playfully strike older onlookers on the backside or, more likely, lower legs -- never anywhere near the face or eyes. LA Krampus performers will
- [Indigenous Krampus Meetup](http://krampuslosangeles.com/indigenous-krampus-1/) - LA Krampus reaches out occasionally to the Krampus homeland of Austria to contact those who can share a little firsthand information about how things work there. Recently, we were lucky to establish contact with Austrian Krampus Martin Zehentner who works with the Gnigler Krampuslauf, a Krampus Run named for Gnigl, a neighborhood of Salzburg,where Martin lives, and one of the
- [Costume Tips: From the Neck Down](http://krampuslosangeles.com/easier-suit-design/) - The Austrian Krampus troupe pictured above is about as traditional as they get. Creating this exact look would be a big challenge because the suits are made of mountain goat fur, and LA's not exactly known for its mountain goats population. But at least this picture makes clear something that doesn't have to challenge you,
- [What? No Masks?](http://krampuslosangeles.com/masks/) - Finally an answer for those of you who want a Krampus costume, but just can't bring yourselves to buy or make the mask! There is, in a certain region of Germany, a style of Krampus that does not wear a sculpted mask (actually, it goes by a different regional name, but let's not quibble). Along
- [Costuming Tips:  European Materials](http://krampuslosangeles.com/costuming-solutions-part-1/) - No Krampus Los Angeles event require you to wear a costume. Elaborately costumed members of the LA Krampus Troupe will be showing up at Krampusfest events (and making some unlisted surprise attacks as well), but their suits and masks are the product of substantial investments of time and/or money -- usually both. We're guessing, most enthusiastic attendees
- [Other Characters, Other Costumes](http://krampuslosangeles.com/characters-costumes/) - If the idea of pulling together a Krampus suit seems daunting, you might consider dressing as one of the other figures traditionally associated with the Krampus' appearance. Before Krampuses herded together for the public Krampus Run or Krampuslauf, the devilish figure was part of a small costumed party that would visit houses of friends, neighbors
- [A Little Info on Krampus](http://krampuslosangeles.com/hello-world/) - Krampuslauf at Munich Christmas Market The Krampus (also Kramperl or Klaubauf) is a figure of European folklore associated with St. Nicholas and his visits to children on St. Nicholas Day (December 6). On this day, or the preceding evening, the saint makes his appearance (in traditional bishop's robes and mitre) to distribute small gifts to children who have behaved.

- ["Straw" Krampus Visiting LA](http://krampuslosangeles.com/straw-krampus/) - LA Krampus Elizabeth Herndon is taking inspiration from a particularly odd straw-covered cousin of Krampus appearing annually in the town of Bad Mitterndorf, an Alpine town southeast of Salzburg. These broomlike Schabmänner (roughly: "sweepers") appear alongside their more typical Krampus cousins in the town's centuries-old St. Nicholas Play. They are the advance guard of a festive procession, symbolically

- [Indigenous Krampus Meetup 2](http://krampuslosangeles.com/indigenous-krampus-meetup2/) - While inevitably different from traditional groups in Europe, LA Krampus nonetheless attempts to absorb what we can of the genuine tradition by meeting and talking with those who practice it in its original form and setting. Visiting the Alpine Town of Bad Gastein, to witness very traditional Krampus activities in 2012, LA Krampus Co-founder Al Ridenour

A shaggier look was obtained by adding homemade wefts of hair sewn from synthetic braiding hair used in hair extensions. The second photo demonstrates
- [More and More Cowbell!](http://krampuslosangeles.com/more-more-cowbell/) - If you've ever seen a genuine Krampus run, you will never forget the sound -- dozens or even hundreds of huge cowbells, or even larger purpose-made bells "frog-mouth bells" (Froschmaul Glocken). Unfortunately, these special bells are impossible to find stateside, and impossibly expensive to buy and ship from overseas, but LA Krampuses are coming
- [Kudu Krampus](http://krampuslosangeles.com/kudu-krampus/) - A particularly large Krampus topped with 24" Kudu horns will wander the streets of LA this December.

Photos appear courtesy of Paul Koudounaris, Paul Navaerz, Robert Hemedes, Nanette Gonzales of the LA Weekly and Rusty Blazenhoff of the pop-culture blog Blazenfluff.

- [Krampus Ball - Long](http://krampuslosangeles.com/krampus-ball-long/) - THE KRAMPUS BALL On St. Nicholas Eve, as the sun sinks behind the Alps, the saint begins his gift-giving rounds.

There's also a reference to Mark donning an "Odinesque" hat at some point, so this should show the sort
- [Whips and Bear-leaders](http://krampuslosangeles.com/whips-bear-leaders/) - Back to synopsis. I think the craziness of the guys in the Kaiser-Wilhelm-era guys on hobby-horses below nice touch, and there are also traditional figures who just dress in more normal alpine/bavarian costumes who crack whips. There are also "bear-drivers" who use whips (as mentioned in the text) but both could be good to depict.
