ELUSIVE KATE BUSH FILM to be SHOWN IN SHEPHERDSTOWN, WV Contact: MAURA BALLIETT INTERGALACTIC GARAGE World-Wide Compact Disks and Music Collectibles 110 W. German Street Shepherdstown, WV 25443 VOICE (304) 876-6818 FAX (304) 876-9414 KATE BUSH's *The Line, The Cross, and the Curve*, A Film Starring Kate Bush, Miranda Richardson, and Lindsay Kemp (35mm UK 1993 55 minutes written/directed by Kate Bush) Last year British singer-songwriter Kate Bush produced a theatrical film to amplify the themes contained in her 1993 SONY album The Red Shoes. Unfortunately, although this film has appreciated extended runs in the United Kingdom, it has essentially been shown only at film festivals in the US. Intergalactic Garage, long time supporter of Kate Bush's work and of her North American fans, has arranged for a showing of this film at The Opera House Movie Theater in Shepherdstown, WV. The Opera House Movie Theater, with its state-of-the-art projection system and 2000 Watt JBL/Dolby SurroundSound system, will allow Kate Bush fans to see and hear this work - which is full of song and dance - as never before possible in this country - and in the fashion Kate Bush intended when she chose 35mm rather than VHS video as a medium. The film stars Ms Bush, critically acclaimed British actress Miranda Richardson (The Crying Game), and legendary dancer/mime, Lindsay Kemp. WES JOHNSON, popular disk-jockey of WHFS, the Washington-Baltimore Megalopolis' major alternative radio station, will host the 5 pm showing. SONY MUSIC has provided several high-quality limited edition lithographs of the cover of Kate Bush's The Red Shoes and other collectible goodies for door prizes at the 5 pm show. Nearly 8 hours of Kate Bush's hard-to-find music videos and rare performance videos will be shown on Saturday at other locations in Shepherdstown. (TBA) There is no charge to see the videos. This event will be enjoyed by anyone who likes progressive British rock. It should be of interest to film buffs. The Upper Potomac Hammered Dulcimer Festival will be occuring in Shepherdstown this same weekend, making a real bonus for the music buff who comes to Shepherdstown. When: 5 PM September 10, 1994 Where Opera House Movie Theater 131 W. German Street Shepherdstown, WV (Just 8 Miles North of Charles Town, WV, site of the 1994 Wash.-Balt. Area Lollapalloza) Tickets Tickets available from Intergalactic Garage by phone at (304) 876-6818 or at the Opera House box office. All Seats $10 (additional showings may be available) Shepherdstown, the oldest town in West Virginia, is a historic district situated on a bluff above the Potomac. It is cosmopolitan in nature, offering many interesting opportunities in dining, lodging, recreation and entertainment. Shepherdstown is easily accessible from I-70 and I-81. Intergalactic Garage is a world famous collector's record store with a store front in the Shepherdsown Historic district. This company was created in 1982 to provide a mail order source for Kate Bush music for North American fans. Subsequently, Intergalactic expanded to support the fans of many other European singer/songwriters and is currently one of the best sources in North America for recordings that are not available in the mall stores.
