Craig Wedren playing 2 NYC shows - Reno 911, Bright Eyes

Bright Eyes plays his first of two shows at Bowery Ballroom tonight (March 2). Craig Wedren is opening, and playing a show at Pianos on Sunday.

Since Friday night’s Bowery Ballroom show (w/Bright Eyes) is sold out, we’ve added a secret-special one (sans Bright Eyes, alas) to end your weekend right.Come hear me and my swashbuckiling band play THIS SUNDAY March 4th, at Pianos. Doors are at 6.45 and we’re starting the set at 7pm SHARP. We will be revealing lots of new, awesome songs (old ones, too), and would love to bounce them off you before hitting the studio on Monday. -Craig

Craig also just did the soundtrack for Reno 911:Miami – which, as Klaus pointed out, features members of The State. And Craig reports…

In other news, I’m working on a new record, tentaively titled WAND. I’ll start putting demos for that up in a few weeks. Also finishing music for the movie ‘The Ten’, directed by David Wain (Wet Hot American Summer, Stella, The State), and written by David Wain and Ken Marino (also a Statesman). It’ll be out in August. Stay tuned for samples.

Craig also wrote the theme song for the short-lived Stella show on Comedy Central. Four tracks Craig wrote for Reno 911 are streaming at his MySpace.
