FIRST SHOWS OF 2010! GAAP BENEFIT + TAHOE Greetings friends! The New Up is busy at work on Gold, our new EP and the final in a series of three EPs (the follow-up to Better Off and Broken Machine). Gold will be released this spring. We're very excited about the new tracks and we'll continue to keep you in the loop on the new CD. In an unexpected twist, our first show of the new year is at the same venue as our final San Francisco show of 2009. This Friday, January 15, The New Up will again rock the Red Devil Lounge, this time in a fundraiser for the General Assistance Advocacy Project (GAAP). GAAP is a wonderful non-profit that provides free legal advocacy for homeless and low-income San Franciscans with a staff of volunteer law students from Bay Area law schools. Tickets are $5 for students and $10 for everyone else, or pay what you can afford. No one will be turned away for lack of funds, and all door proceeds go directly to GAAP. Sonic Love Tonic and Kap'n Kirk of Space Cowboys will also perform. (Though the venue website says "private party," this event is open to the public.) It's a great party for a great organization, so please come out and support! On Saturday, January 30, The New Up returns to Tahoe to play Bar of America in Truckee. We'll be hanging out at the same venue on Friday night to catch our friends Crackerjack Highway, then throwing down at BofA on Saturday where it will be The New Up all night. Our man Jack Frost (from The Blue Up Ball) will DJ between sets. Come kick it with us in the mountains, it'll be a good time! Plus you can pick up Better Off download cards for only $5 and handmade The New Up shirts in festive colors and styles, including our hot new glitter tees. Details on both shows below and on thenewup.com. Stay tuned, stay in touch, and we'll see you at the shows! Friday, January 15 Red Devil Lounge 1695 Polk at Clay in San Francisco 8pm-12am . 21+ .
