Kitson, Oliver, Schaal, Clement (CRED)

Daniel Kitson added a FOURTH show at Union Hall. The Sunday and Monday shows are completely sold out, but there's a handful for tickets left for the remaining shows. I'm telling you, if ever there was a comedy show that absolutely cannot be missed it's this one. As a matter of fact, I'm giving away one pair of tickets to the Wednesday 12/5, 10pm show (details at the end of this post). Maybe they'll release a ticket or two the nights of the peformances, maybe they won't. It's totally worthy a shot though.

And don't forget about the NY Mag Not Your Office Holiday Party featuring We Are Scientists and the UCB Theater happening on 12/18/07 at the Canal Room. The show will be hosted by Daily Show correspondent Rob Riggle who will also serve as The Boss. Partygoers will be provided with fakey name tags as well as a checklist of inappropriate office things that you should be partaking in such as admitting your best excuses for taking a sick day, kissing a co-worker under the mistle toe, brown nosing your boss, and photo-copying your buns. It sounds like lots of fun. I've got two pairs of tickets to give away (also at the end of this post).

Taking a page out of Sub Pop's book, indie label Matador Records has signed their first comedy act! Earles and Jensen Present: Just Farr A Laugh Vol. 1 and 2 will be released February 19th on Matador Records. Their myspace page has an ever changing sample of their work, so check it out. Scads more info at Chunklet.

BOH @ Hiro Ballroom, NYC - July 10, 2007 (CRED)

Last night Band of Horses played Hiro Ballroom. On July 22nd they're playing McCarren Pool with Annuals. Get some free Annuals MP3s at Daytrotter.

Congrats to those who won tickets to see Band of Horses @ Hiro Ballroom tonight (July 10, 2007), and I can finally confirm that, yes, Band of Horses are playing the free show at McCarren Pool on July 22nd. M.I.A. is not playing it - she was for a second or something - until she chose Siren (and Studio B) instead.

Note: Band of Horses are not playing McCarren Pool with Modest Mouse. Check BOH' Myspace page for more tour dates.

man, that sure was good pepperoni piz..

As you know, Band of Horses are playing with comedian Zach Galifianakis who will also be auctioning off bad art @ Hiro Ballroom in NYC on July 10th. Want to go for FREE? E-mail BVCONTESTS@HOTMAIL.COM (subject: zach), and let me know the last show you went to see. Two winners will be picked at random on Friday @ 5pm, awarded a pair of tickets, contacted, and placed on the list. More Band of Horses dates @ their MySpace.

Band of Horses @ Primavera 2007 (CRED)

A whole month before Band of Horses play with Modest Mouse at Keyspan Park, they'll be doing a show at Hiro Ballroom that is also a "Bad Art Auction" with comedian Zach Galifianakis for NY Magazine's next hip event...

Buy art for a good cause. Zach Galifianakis helps us to curate a lineup of artwork that will make you wince, writhe, and wonder why its not already in your living room. Zach will take us through an evening of art that he's created, bought, found, stolen and maybe even inspired. He'll be joined by Band of Horses, at HIRO ballroom. All proceeds of the auction will go to New York Cares.
