I have one pair of tickets to give away for tomorrow nights dance party at One Eyed Jacks so email me at info@statictelevision.com. Hit me up while supplies last...

Tomorrow night at ONE EYED JACKS, the British Dance Pop act, LOS CAMPESINOS, will be playing with TITUS ANDRONICUS. We as usual want you to go for free. Email me to info@statictelevision.com and name 3 other ARTS AND CRAFT bands and you are in. Email me while supplies last. Click HERE to learn more about the show.

Now we're talking! This is something that will make me miss New Orleans. Lots of free cd's, vinyl, and other PARK THE VAN goodies will apparently be given away. Here are some other upcoming listening parties at the SAINT BAR, 961 St. Ann, that you should know about.

Tuesday March 24th - The Peekers "Life in the Air" listening party
Tuesday April 21st - The High Strung "Ode to the Inverse of the Dude" listening party
Tuesday April 28th - Floating Action "Floating Action" listening party

I would not miss this if I were you...

For the astute fan who realized we didn't have a new episode last night we are officially on a winter break until I can get a new lap top so I can edit while up here in New York. Feel free to donate to this cause by emailing me ATTN: Lap Top to info@statictelevision.com and how much you would like to donate and I will let you know where you can send the money. Free CDs for anyone who donates $10 or greater and $50 or greater I will make a commercial about how awesome you are on the show.

Don't think we will stop working though. I am dedicated to bringing you new content to the BLOG and as soon as I can get some editing in I will bring some new content. Until then, every week on Cox 10 will be a new classic episode so if you are a new fan now is your opportunity to catch up on our inside jokes.

This Saturday, New Orleans fastest rising instrumental rock bands, SMILEY WITH A KNIFE, will be playing possibly their biggest show to date at ONE EYED JACKS with MAN PLUS BUILDING and THE BLACK BELT (who is apparently the headliner so I take back what I said about this being SWAK's biggest show and replace it with The Balck Belt). The show will be $7 and apparently they will be givingg away free Pizza! But, if you email me at info@statictelevision.com and tell me what other instrumental band you like you are in on us! Check out the review we did for their debut album, How A Reign Comes To An End, by clicking HERE.

It is funny how when you think about a band in New Orleans since 2001 you start to think of the word legend. Since Katrina, many bands have not made it past 2003 so it is amazing to see that New Orleans' legends SILENT CINEMA will be releasing their new album, Fins and Feathers, this month. Their CD release show will be this Friday, January 16th @ ONE EYED JACKS. They will be playing with FELIX (if anyone knows of a website for these guys I would love to know what it is) and HALF A MILLION STRANGERS. The show is only $10, but you can get a pair of tickets to the show simply by emailing me at info@statictelevision.com and telling me another New Orleans rock band that has been around since before 2003.

Just getting settled into my New York lifestyle and already setting up some interviews while up here, but for now enjoy our latest episode which is online now. This episode featured the bands that played at this years PARK THE VAN HOLIDAY SOIREE, FLOATING ACTION and the PEEKERS. Also, LIL DOOGIE is back and messing with PARTNERS AND CRIME.
