Crush

The term “crush” meaning a mild romantic attachment is thought to date back to the late 19th century. It reflects the sensation of being emotionally overwhelmed or “crushed” by an intense yet fleeting infatuation. An Orange Crush is a refreshing cocktail typically made with freshly squeezed orange juice, vodka, triple sec, and a splash of soda water. A lot of ingredients in a small space. This week we are playing a lot of different songs about romantic crushes, mixed and shaken within the confines of a two hour show. Whether you’re gliding around the room or crushed against a wall of emotion, we’ll make sure that you’re stirred, if not shaken.
