One Night Only — The Hedge, Live at the Charnel House

Hey, motherfuckers, Girth here. Just wanted to let you know that we finally got some resolution about our fourth anniversary party for The Hedge. We’ve booked a performance here in Chicago at the Charnel House, 1035 E. 67th Street. It starts at 9 p.m. sharp on February 12th, and tickets are available in advance through TicketWeb (search for “charnel house,” or browse Illinois / Hard Rock/Metal / Next 30 Days—you’ll find it!). I’d recommend buying advance tickets, because this show is going to sell out. Hope to see you all there!

Tomorrow

Okay, guys, we’re looking forward to see you all at the Charnel House tomorrow. We took a break from recording the last week to re-stage and rehearse The Hedge. Was I nervous? A little, but I got back in the swing of things.

See you tomorrow,
Girth

The Worst Night of My Life

Sunday, February 12, 2006, was the fourth anniversary of my Fletcher Award-winning rock opera, Girth McDürchstein’s ‘The Hedge.’ As mentioned on this blog, to celebrate, we put on a special staged performance at a venue called the Charnel House, on Chicago’s South Side.

In the 10 days preceding the show, the band got together to rehearse and stage with some of our “extended family”—the various musicians who helped us with the touring company of The Hedge back when we were touring the show heavily, from October 2002 to late 2004. These musicians included people like Sammy Shapiro, Wade Valencourt, Bob Prescott, and a few of the female singer/actors (Lita and Bebe, who brought a couple of their friends to help fill it out). Other than this, no original cast or pit member (not even the original production team!) could make it. Sad, but maybe foreshadowing what was to happen on Sunday night…
