Don’t Crush Our Heart… Coming this fall!

July 18th, 2008 No Comments »

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

From the Electric Arc Radio people comes an all-new radio melodrama—Don’t Crush Our Heart: a Musical Legal Thriller About a Twee Band—based on the wildly popular blog, The Armitage Heights Clarion, by Andy Sturdevant.

Say it ain’t so, Sebastian! Break it to us gently, Belle! The Midwestern hipster enclave of Armitage Heights is about to lose its most beloved critically-acclaimed twee indie-pop outfit, Christmas Island, to New York City (Brooklyn!). The city fathers will do anything to keep them in town – including filing an injunction to legally prevent the move. The young (and old), the musically gifted (and not) all converge on the Pierce County Courthouse to collectively tell – and sing – a harrowing tale of ambition, money, skinny jeans, urban gentrification, 19th Century agricultural subsidies, Ukrainian electro DJs, converted lofts, tandem bicycles, the Staten Island ferry, trade tariffs, the American legal system and 9.5 Pitchfork ratings in this living-color theater of the mind. Featuring the Electric Arc players, band, and friends. It’s Witness for the Prosecution meets If You’re Feeling Sinister – and it’s only at the Ritz Theater!

Only twice: September 20 and October 18, 8p.m. at the Ritz Theater, 345 13th Ave. NE, Minneapolis.

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!

The Saturday after Thanksgiving, November 29th, Join Sam, Herbach, Brady, Steph, Clerky, Bushy, Sleany McFear, the ghost of Alan Greenspan, and the entire Electric Arc neighborhood for an other original episode of the Electric Arc Radio Show: “A Very Brady Christmas!”
