King Pignacious and His Merry Swine: One Awesomely High-Concept CHIRP Fundraiser

Get ready for a three night “Modern-Day Multimedia Rock Opera” at the Viaduct Theater!

CHIRP is thrilled to have the energetic 10-piece King Pignacious performing “A Swine’s Rise to Power”—a music and multimedia concept show about the hog army’s hard fight against employer based healthcare. Or, in their words, the fight to “Cut the Tubes and Free the Youth.”

If you’re a fan of great music and daring performances (being a CHIRP listener suggests you are), you won’t want to miss any of these three great shows.

Sat 8/28: w/ Red Hot Annie’s Burlesque Show and Stephanie Rearick
Sat 9/4: w/ Four Star Brass Band
Sat 9/11: w/ Fluid Minds

Tickets for each night are only $10 and one-third of that will help CHIRP in the fight for excellence in independent radio. We can’t wait to see you there!

THE VIADUCT THEATER
3111 N Western Ave.
Doors at 9pm. Show at 10pm. 21+
