As you may remember last summer the Electric Fetus was struck by a tornado and half of the store was destroyed. Apparently they did not have a great insurance plan because a lot of the costs incurred are not being covered by insurance. Not to mention all of the money lost due to 40% of their retail space being out of commission for so long while the repairs were being done.
I had no idea that the Electric Fetus was in so much trouble! I buy all of my cds from Electric Fetus. I am going to pledge to buy one cd from there a week for the next while to try to help them out. I would be heartbroken if they had to close because of this :(
First Avenue tickets go on sale for the Electric Fetus Benefit Show on Friday and they have one of the most popular and greatest Minnesota acts currently headlining the show: Cloud Cult, which could no doubt sell First Avenue out by themselves. besides nabbing Cloud Cult for the headlining spot other bands confirmed for the show are: Roma di Luna, Jeremy Messersmith, Caroline Smith & the Goodnight Sleeps, Trailer Trash, Unknown Prophets, Peter Wolf Crier, Total Babe, Ruby Isle, and Bill Mike Band.
The Current's 5th Birthday Party bash sold out in just minutes, I would expect the same kind of clientele to buy First Avenue tickets for this show as well. The Electric Fetus Benefit show is 18+.
See you at the show! Remember how it is important to support local and independent businesses!!
