<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif">Spurred into creative action by our apathetic, and often unjust, political climate,
<b>The Citizens Band</b> burst onto New York City’s nightlife scene with their debut production,
<i>Je T’Aime, Scumbag</i>, a ribald and dazzling tale of love, loss, and political corruption which was staged in a Brooklyn warehouse. With the likes of
<b>Karen Elson, Ian Buchanan, Rain Phoenix</b>, <b>Angela McCluskey</b> and <b>Zoe Kravtiz,</b> along with guest starts: actress
<b>Maggie Gyllenhaal</b>, singer and actress <b>Zooey Deschanel</b>, pop icon <b>
Cyndi Lauper</b>, rock luminary <b>Melissa Auf Der Maur</b>, <b>Alia Shawkat </b>
and<b> Julia Stiles</b>, <b>The Citizens Band</b> have shown that political anxiety can be channeled into glamorous and entertaining art.
