Can’t make it home for the holiday? First Avenue has got you covered as we team up with Radio K to present the 2nd Annual Too Much Turkey free Thanksgiving dinner at First Avenue & 7th Street Entry on Thursday, November 27, 2008.

Please join us in the mainroom for a full Thanksgiving dinner catered by The Meadows Café and our friends at Rock Bottom Brewery. We will be spinning the music of our Too Much Love DJ, Sovietpanda, while you eat to your hearts content.

Jon Lajoie plays the Entry on December 4th.

From the band:

North American Tour Cancelled

"Some of the most dedicated, blog-aware North American friends of Noah and
the Whale have correctly identified North American tour dates circulating on
the internet.
It is with no little remorse and disappointment that we are compelled to
cancel these dates. These words are being typed in the studio as we make
progress on the next Noah and the Whale album. Between commitments in
hereto-neglected Europe, we have made the sad but important decision to take
time to develop these recordings over the winter months.

This is going to be an amazing show.
Tickets go on sale this weekend.
