Beat Radio - CD Release Party - Sat Aug 11

It's official. The first "full" week of August 2007 is the next week of full throttle indie-rock insanity in NYC. There is already way, way too much going on that week and it just keeps piling up. Already I have had to make some hard choices (Beastie Boys vs. Daft Punk), but as of right now it looks like this:

Thurs Aug 9 - Daft Punk @ Keyspan
Fri Aug 10 - The Thermals @ Maxwells
Sun Aug 12 - TL&Rx, Thermals @ the pool

And now this has been thrown into the mix. On Sat Aug 11, Beat Radio are having a CD release party at Union Hall for their spectacular and highly praised debut album, The Great Big Sea, which was one of my favorite albums of 2006. Up until this point, the album has only been available in mp3 format as a free download at their website. So why would you now purchase a CD of the album? Well, because the CD comes with their brand new, 4-song Miracle Flag EP.

The Bloodsugars are also playing with Beat Radio on the 11th, so yeah, this show is going to be the bees knees.
