Bowery Ballroom – 10/20/09
When I first moved to the city, I would play shows at 3:00am in the middle of China Town to about 4 people at a time. During this time I said to Stacy, “Stacy, some day I’m going to play at that fancy Bowery Ballroom place and I’ll give you my word that more than 4 people will show up”. Fast forward almost 4 years later and here we are!!!!!
Never in my wildest dreams would I believe my first Bowery Show would be during the CMJ Music Marathon!
It’s time. We have been secretly shuffling around this city, playing in nice little clubs, walking to our nice jobs, watching the leaves spring, fall, die, and spring again for 3 years now. Let’s show a real New York City Music Hall what we got. If you have ever graced us with your presence before, we would love to have you out to celebrate what YOU have helped US do… MAKE MUSIC THAT MATTERS AND PLAY THAT MUSIC IN A CITY THAT MATTERS, IN VENUES THAT MATTER, AND DURING THE BEST TIME TO BE ALIVE.
Come take a deep breathe with us.
Bowery Ballroom was built just before the great depression. From the balcony, you can almost see the ghosts walking around. It’s going to be a magical night.

Congratulations!
Hope the place is packed!
As one of the four people present in China town I have to say that if you miss this show and you live in NYC- shame on you!!! There are people living thousands of miles away that would kill (figuratively) for that opportunity.
For your own sake… don’t miss it!
Awww… sad to be missing the show tonight. I was just at Bowery on Sunday night for David Bazan. And indeed, it was magical. Have a blast. I think I saw you play a fundraiser a few months back at Don Hill’s. We really enjoyed your music and vowed to look you up and here you are! Congrats on playing one of the best venues in town!
