Just a friendly reminder! Plus some more Business.

Serious Business Record's Holiday Party is TOMORROW, 20 December at, Piano's in NYC.

Starring:
Rocketship Park
Benji Cossa's Christmas Spectacular (or something like that)
The Unsacred Hearts (with a guest appearance by a certain Mr. aross)

$8, 21+

I'll be there, getting my indie shakes on.


While I'm at it, I should mention that Ser Biz just released the cheekily-titled The Year In Business, another FREE record. This one is a compilation to celebrate all the crazy goodness to come out of the label this year, including previously unreleased tracks from Higgins, the Unsacred Hearts, Rocketship Park, and Secret Dakota Ring. (Cue the fangirls.)

That's two free releases in the span of a month, kids. Get 'em while they're hot!

SerBiz Holiday Party

Mark your 2007 calendars, kids (the year ain't over yet)- Serious Business Record's Holiday Party is going down on 20 December at Piano's in NYC.

A certain inside source has told me that he wants it to be "a total fire hazard" (or words to that effect), so come out to the LES next Thursday to see Rocketship Park, Benji Cossa, Higgins, and The 'Hearts. Guaranteed good times. I'll be there, if that's any incentive.

It'll set you back $8 and as always, it's 21+.

And while you're at it, don't forget to download Benji Cossa's Christmas record, Merry Christmas to Friends and Family. Love, Benji Cossa, for FREE. Yes, free.
