Grant MacEwan University presents Xanadu
October 21 - 29 in the John L. Haar Theatre
A hilarious, roller skating musical adventure. It’s the eighties. Nine muses from the heavens of Mount Olympus spring to life from a Venice Beach art mural depicting 'Ancient Greek arty chicks.' The painter is Sonny, a frustrated artist whose dream is to open a roller disco nightclub called Xanadu.
Xanadu is a goofy, wry riff on art and creativity, bad movies and vacuous stage musicals. It lampoons the wretchedness of '80s pop culture, while simultaneously celebrating the musical pop rock 'cheese' of that era with an insidiously catchy hit score composed by Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra.
- Bardic Form on the Shell Theatre's Fort Radio U22 Productions Intermission Stage for Rik Emmett's show on October 28.
Hunger Hush is a band that reaches. The four friends that make up the Calgary, AB based outfit draw from their varied musical backgrounds to grasp at the energy found in their own favourite artists. A careful listener can hear the earthy rock of Attack in Black and the blues-tinged echoes of Warren Zevon – all filtered through ringing keys and driving guitars; trumpet blasts and daring bass lines.
On April 7, 2011, Hunger Hush released their self-titled debut album to a sold-out crowd at Calgary’s Broken City. The album was recorded and produced by Alberta notable Lorrie Matheson in his Arch Audio studios, and the six original songs provide a compelling snapshot of a growing artist with an already distinct voice.
Hunger Hush has enjoyed praise for their live performances, and the band has a dedicated following that is constantly growing. They’ve shared the stage with Daniel Wesley, Hot Panda, The Autumn Portrait and The Magnetic North, among others. Hunger Hush has received local radio attention on CJSW, performed in venues across Alberta, and plans to tour in the fall of 2011.
