You can’t even beat that at a used bin! Doug will be taking to the stage at 11pm with a full band comprised of members of Mascott, Portastatic, Up The Empire and Clair. Hellz yeahz.

The record ain’t even out yet and it’s been gettin’ some nice little reviews, check this one out at Songs:Illinois and this one over at Purge where it’s made a pre-release date ‘best of 08′ list somehow!

Up The Empire’s new EP Loose Ends is out now! Get your copy here.  See the band LIVE (for the first time in 10 month’s) and get your hands on a physical copy of the new disc TOMORROW NIGHT at Mercury Lounge in NYC with Bon Savants and Ford & Fitzroy!

The holiday season is upon us…  and we think it’s only right that we offer you up a free download of Doug Keith’s new, and so very naughty, Christmas track “Hey, Mrs. Claus”.  Santa’s got somethin’ big under the tree for Mrs. Claus this year… and he can’t wait to get those cookies!

Download “Hey, Mrs Claus” here. 

Doug’s new album Here’s to Outliving Me is in stores January 13, 2009.  Until then, catch up with him at the Up The Empire record release show tomorrow night at Mercury Lounge in NYC.

Details for the Up The Empire release party for their new EP Loose Ends are in!  UTE will be taking the stage with numerous guests, and is bringing Boston’s Bon Savants and our own Ford & Fitzroy along for the ride.  It’ll be one hell of a fantastic night… and, just so you know… probably your only chance to get your hands on a physical copy of the new CD.  We haven’t pressed very many of these puppies… so, first come, first serve.  Get there early and don’t miss a minute!
