San Francisco – October 16th, 2008 – Live Nation is pleased to announce two special performances with Russell Brand at Cobbs Comedy Club on Wednesday, November 5th and Thursday, November 6th. Showtime for both events is 8pm and doors open at 6:45pm. Tickets for both shows are onsale this Friday at 10am at www.Livenation.com.
Russell Brand has built a huge following in the United Kingdom since his break-out year in 2006 when he was named "Best Newcomer" at the British Comedy Awards and was crowned Time Out London's "Stand-up Comedian of the Year" (he also took home GQ's "Most Stylish Man" award). His introduction to American audiences came this year with his unforgettable portrayal of rocker Aldous Snow in Judd Apatow's "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and Brand's new-found fame in the U.S. was cemented during his recent no-holds-barred performance as host of the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. He will appear opposite Adam Sandler in "Bedtime Stories," scheduled for release on Christmas Day and is also slated to reprise his role as Aldous Snow in "Get Him to the Greek," a new Apatow-produced comedy in which the once-sober rock star falls off the wagon before a major gig.
Brand has written a column in The Guardian since May 2006 and released his critically-acclaimed and award-winning autobiography, My Booky Wook, published by Hodder & Stoughton in the U.K., last November. My Booky Wook was #1 on The London Sunday Times bestseller list for seven consecutive weeks and remained in the top ten for weeks afterwards. The Observer commented that "Russell Brand's gleeful tale of drugs and debauchery in My Booky Wook puts most other celebrity memoirs to shame." My Booky Wook is set to hit shelves in the U.S. in February 2009 through publisher HarperCollins.
Tickets for Russell Brand at Cobbs Comedy Club are on sale this Friday, October 17th at 10am at www.Livenation.com. Tickets are $30.50 plus applicable charges.

San Francisco, CA (October 14, 2008) – Fresh off their stellar performance at Austin City Limits, Band of Horses has just been added to the Saturday, October 25th lineup for the 22nd annual Bridge School Benefit concerts at Shoreline Amphitheatre. Tickets for both Bridge School Benefit performances are currently on sale now at Livenation.com.
As documented by the Austin Chronicle:
“If Band of Horses can be seen as a reincarnation of The Band, that makes Ben Bridwell Rick Danko and Robbie Robertson rolled into one. Meanwhile, it appears that Bridwell has found his Richard Manuel in the band's new keyboardist, Ryan Monroe, who contributed plenty of energy to this stellar sunset performance. Relying heavily on tracks from the recent Cease to Begin, the brothers in arms managed to wrap up tight harmonies and kick out a few piano jams, adding color and musical strength to BOH's standard three-guitar onslaught. The crowd roared along to early hits such as "The Great Salt Lake" and an astounding version of "The Funeral." Smelling the barn, apparently, the Horses rode a Pentecostal vibe through Bridwell's soulful cover of Them Two's "Am I a Good Man?"
Taking place at Shoreline Amphitheatre on Saturday, October 25th and Sunday, October 26th, this year’s lineup features acoustic performances by Neil Young, Jack Johnson, Sarah McLachlan (performing on Saturday only), Band of Horses (performing on Saturday only), Josh Groban (performing on Sunday only), Smashing Pumpkins (performing on Sunday only), Norah Jones, Death Cab For Cutie, Wilco and Cat Power.
