Sell Outs

Time to start the new year off right, by seeing live music and not being left out on the cold cold sidewalk listening to your favorite songs echoing down the snow-filled street. This month there are a lot of hyped up bands coming our way. We are mainly talking about the Arcade Fire, if you don't have tickets we don't know what to tell you. If you're good at haikus you could try this contest. We'll also be having some ticket give-a-ways for some shows this month, and maybe MAYBE there will be an Arcade Fire one. But in the meantime, here are some tickets on sale that you can still buy:

- Mission of Burma @ Bowery Ballroom January 14th and January 15th
- The Dears/Benzos/Saints & Lovers/Headset @ Mercury Lounge January 15th
- The Hold Steady @ Mercury Lounge January 19th
- THE LAST SEA RAY SHOW EVER @ Mercury Lounge January 21st
- The Fever @ Bowery Ballroom January 22nd
- Colin Meloy (new date added!) @ the Fez January 24th. If you're asking yourself who Colin Meloy is he's in the Decemberists. He's only like the other Ben Gibbard people!
