RADIO 4 NO LONGER PLAYING BOSTON SHOW TONIGHT!
On the way home from the Head Automatica show in Philadelphia the band's van flipped over , destroying all of their equipment. After the van flipped everyone was thankfully able to scramble out through broken windows, before a car hit the van destroying all the gear. No one was seriously hurt but Radio 4 are in tremendous pain today, as well as being seriously shaken up - so they have to cancel Boston tonight. Thank you for understanding.

THE RADIO 4 JUBILEE
The Radio 4 Jubilee (think the Knitters to X,) was created when filmmaker Antonino D’ambrosio asked Roman to do something for his new short film "No Free Lunch, starring Lewis Black. Roman collected the members of Radio 4, and along with noted journeyman guitarist Rizzo and Brooklyn based production team the Brothers, they cranked out this rootsy, protest song, "This Is a Movement" (soon to be available on RCRDLBL) in a day. Expect more to come as Radio 4 is scoring Dambrosio's full length feature film , Let Fury Have the Hour, due out next year.
the Radio 4 Jubilee:
Roman
Rizzo
Collins
Little Danny
O'connor (in spirit)
produced by the Brothers
"No Free Lunch" is the first in a series of short films tackling the issue of income inequality in America. Starring groundbreaking comedian Lewis Black, "No Free Lunch" is written, directed and produced by Antonino D'ambrosio of La Lutta FIlms (www.lalutta.org). Noise-Pop Industries (www.noisepop.com) produced the film, which is presented by the union SEIU, which represents 1.5 million public service workers, nurses, hospital staff, nursing home care providers, building services and security guards.
"No Free Lunch" will launch on June 4th. Please go to www.july17action.org to view the film.
