Friday, October 23, 2009 
Thank you so much to everyone that came out to party with us at HONK! 2009.  the band had an amazing weekend and, thanks in large part to the enthusiasm of our audiences, played some of the best performances we’ve ever had. If you’ve got any pictures, video or blog write ups, please don’t hesitate to share them with us.
 
Not ones to rest on our laurels, we’ve got another spectacular event coming up next week! We are proud to be a part of The Big Broadcast of 1938 at the Somerville Theater this Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and these shows promise to be unlike anything we’ve ever done before.  The Post-Meridan Radio Players are bringing their annual Halloween staged radio show to the Somerville Theatre for four performances, and this year they've brought in ENSMB to join in the fun.
 
PMRP is well known for their excellent live old-time radio-style dramas, and this show will be their biggest yet. It features a recreation of the 1938 Halloween episode of the long-lost Boston radio classic, The Frank Cyrano Byfar Hour, a Boston-based comedy/variety series from the 30s, and the science fiction thriller The War of the Worlds: The Fall of Boston, the story of what happened in Boston during the infamous Martian Invasion of 1938.  With their talented cast, a battery of foley sound effects personnel and ENSMB, we’re going to recreate this epic and historic radio broadcast right before your eyes (and ears) in the Somerville theater.
 
If that’s not enough to get you excited about this, we’ve got some more surprises for you.  After many requests from our fans, we’ve now got women’s baby doll t-shirts and tank tops available for the first time.  Even more exciting than that, we’re going to have a special limited edition preview version of our upcoming studio album!  We’re only going to have a very small number of these, and they will only be available at these shows. Not only will you get a glimpse of the album along with some special treats, but you’ll also get to take the cost of this CD off your purchase of the full album once it’s released.  
 
This all adds up to some serious Halloween goodies for you! so get your tickets NOW!  Come out and let us and the PMRP transport you to another time a place. We’ll take you on a rollercoaster ride of vintage entertainment both hilarious and terrifying. This is going to be a truly unique spectacle you are not going to want to miss!
 
"The Big Broadcast of October 30th, 1938" will run Thursday, October 29th through Saturday, October 31st, at 8:00 PM, with a matinee at 2:00pm Halloween day at the Somerville Theatre next to the Davis Square T Station.  Tickets are $15 in advance at the box office and online, and $20 at the door DOS, with special group rates available.
