Holiday Broadcasts Christmas Eve and Morning


If you made it to any of the holiday shoes we played, we want to thank you for that. An edited version of the show will be broadcast both Christmas Eve at 8:00 and then again Christmas Morn at 8:00 AM on The Current, which if you're in The Twin Cities Metro you can hear at 89.3 on your FM dial, and if you're not, you can stream the show from via their website.The broadcast will feature many of the guests: Craig Finn, Matt Wilson, Aby Wolf, as well as Janey Winterbauer doing a sexy turn on the new holiday favorite, I Want Candy.




We would like to start the holiday frenzy off with some antic holiday fun.  Please explore the magical world encased in the above photo. 

First, prime your fantasy by viewing of our fantabulous holiday animation "Santus Interruptus," a brief meditation on the gritty, yet sexy reality of Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer 30 years on.

Then, Standardize Yourself!  Be warned: elves of mighty intellect and a group of noted local websperts™ concocted this tool.  Use it wisely to become "The Fourth New Standard"... if only in your nog-fueled dreams... or use it to amaze friends and humiliate enemies. 

Holiday Shows. Yes. We look forward to them as much as you do.  First, on November 25th we take our show up to Lutsen and Papa Charlies where we will bomb down the slopes by day, and then thrum your holiday heartstrings by night.

This will be a different show than our Fitzgerald shows... We will be debuting songs from our new holiday record!
We are also heading up to Fargo with some holiday treats Thursday December 22nd at The Fargo Moorhead Community Theater. 

Let us say right here that we are humbled by and appreciate so very much the positive response our little trio has received over the years. Truly. Please come and join us for The Current Presents The New Standards 2011 Holiday Show December 2 and 3 only at The Fitzgerald Theater!  Tickets are pretty well gone... but if you call The Fitzgerald Box Office at 651-290-1200 you may find one or two yet.

And we're pleased to announce that we are going to continue with our grand tradition of preempting New Years Eve with our Preeners Eve shows at The Dakota December 29 and 30.  These shows are a great way to avoid the hassle of actually doing something on New Years Eve itself, when you know you don't actually want to be in a car or anywhere near a road or especially at a bar or party to watch 20 somethings puke on themselves.... problem solved: Preeners!

Many Thanks!!

Chan, John, and Steve
TNS

PS. If you're having trouble getting into the holiday spirit (and who isn't?) do yourself the favor of watching a couple of videos from holiday shows gone by on our Vimeo Page!  You'll be imbued with the emotional equivalent of tannenbaum and mulled cider.
