HOT TIP: Cold War Kids Play Free Show at Prospect Park

The Cold War Kids are an amazing live band. Even moreso when it's free, eh?   While I'm ashamed to admit that I don't have a single one of their tunes -- not even the intensely catchy, "Hang Me Up To Dry" -- I've gone out of my way to see Cold War Kids twice. And both times I was wowed out of my socks. So I can personally vouch for the power of their playing. Catch them tonight at Prospect Park Bandshell and see for yourself... free!


Cold War Kids @ Bowery Ballroom, NY 4/7/07

Per the peeps at FreeNYC:
Unleashing “cave-stomp drums, barroom piano and chiming post-punk  guitars,” (Rolling Stone) Cold War Kids eschew preciousness for grit. Live,  they’re all smoldering energy and raw power. Joining them are local favorites  Elvis Perkins in Dearland with their dream-like folk rock “drenched in equal  parts sunshine and cloudy grey skies,” (Drowned in Sound) and the tuneful but  hard hitting Sam Champion, “an absolute force of nature.” (Sterogum) All  Ages.
