EELS Listening Parties:

To celebrate the release of BLINKING LIGHTS AND OTHER REVELATIONS--an epic 33-track double-album, with a guest list that includes Tom Waits and The Lovin' Spoonful's John Sebastian, as well as returning friend Peter Buck from R.E.M.-- we've lined up a bunch of listening parties for EELS fans. Come on down to one of the locations below on Monday, it'll be great. Relax after a long day of work and get a first listen to a great new album. There will be lots of fun and giveaways from The Onion and Vagrant Records.

Admission is free, but reserve your spot with an RSVP by sending an e-mail to one of the email addresses for your city below. RSVP with "Current" in the subject line and your name in the body.
