The Greenhornes * 11/30 @ The Bowery Ballroom
The Greenhornes just released their fourth full-length album, ★★★★ on November 9th via Third Man Records and are headed to the west coast to play a show at The Bowery Ballroom on November 30th! This native Cincinnati trio, have been making sweet rock n’ roll together for well over a decade. The Greenhornes - made up of Craig Fox, Jack Lawrence (The Dead Weather, The Raconteurs) and Patrick Keeler (The Raconteurs) - consistently produce the highest quality of rock’n’roll. This time around, John Curly lent his producing chops to help create what has come to be their signature sound, solid if not seeping with nostalgia, garage-tastic songs.
Check out an exclusive interview/performance video on AOL/Spinner HERE <http://www.spinner.com/2010/11/09/the-greenhornes-four-stars-album/> and be sure to catch them live in NYC!
Praise for ‘★★★★’:
“…an exceedingly agreeable collection of ultra-catchy garage-pop complete with slash-and-burn guitars, wheedling psychedelic organs, gauzy ballads, dollops of Motown stomp, and loads of love laments…” - Boston Globe
“rollicking punk tunes….psychedelic mudslides ….evokes a chill-out room from 1966” - Rolling Stone
“★★★★ (aka "Four Stars") finds the Cincy trio leaner and meaner, almost to the point of reinvention, as they refine their garage-psych vision. Just four stars? Shit, we'll give it at least eight!” - Blurt

Brandon Flowers * 12/2 @ Hammerstein Ballroom
The Killers’ Brandon Flowers is wrapping up his first full American tour in support of his debut solo album, Flamingo (out now on Island Records), with a show in NYC at Hammerstein Ballroom on Thursday, December 2.
Flamingo, produced by Stuart Price, Daniel Lanois, and Brendan O’Brien, is a stunning 10-song collection from an artist whose brilliant showmanship and powerful vocals have made him such a recognizable and iconic artist. The record is a classic American rock album, full of extraordinary choruses, vast instrumentation and Flowers’ incredible voice, sounding richer and fiercer than ever before. Exuding all that dazzles and shines about his hometown of Las Vegas, Flamingo is packed full of sparkling, stadium-ready songs that you cannot help but sing along with.
Praise for ‘Flamingo’:
“’Flamingo’, the Killers front man’s solo debut, perfects the haunted shimmering quality of the Vegas quartet’s 2008 international hit Day & Age.” - Vanity Fair
“...the hooks on Flamingo [are] irresistible…” - Rolling Stone
“…propulsively kinetic…” - Elle
“…a kaleidoscopic pop rocker with dramatic keys and a heart as big as Flowers' outsized, cannonball of a voice.” - Las Vegas Review Journal
