Aimee Mann & Ted Leo release Christmas song, add Bangles' Susanna Hoffs, Jonathan Coulton, more guests to Xmas shows

As discussed, Aimee Mann and Ted Leo (aka The Both) are playing Christmas shows this December, including three in the NYC area — 12/10 at Tarrytown Music Hall (tickets), 12/12 at The Space at Westbury (tickets) and 12/13 at NYC’s Town Hall (tickets).

Since we last spoke, guests have been added to those shows. Susanna Hoffs of The Bangles, who Aimee recently performed with at a Big Star tribute (videos below) and who starred in The Both’s “Volunteers of America” video, is on almost all dates. The NYC-area shows will also include geek rocker Jonathan Coulton. Other dates on the tour include comedians Paul F. Tompkins (Mr. Show, Real Time with Bill Maher, Best Week Ever), Tim & Eric‘s Tim Heidecker and Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman. Updated dates are listed below.

Aimee and Ted also released a new Christmas song called “Nothing Left to Do (Let’s Make This Christmas Blue).” You can download that on iTunes and stream it via Spotify below.
