Nada Surf @ The Bowery Ballroom: LIVE STREAM on YouTube - 10pm TONIGHT

Check out the Nada Surf YouTube channel tonight at 10pm for a live stream of their show at the Bowery Ballroom.

CLICK HERE AT 10PM: http://www.youtube.com/nadasurf

They will be on Jimmy Fallon on 1/30 also.

I still have yet to listen to the new album. Pitchfork panned it but that means absolutely nothing to me (see an old post here for a reference). Missed out on tonight's show but will be seeing them @ Webster Hall on 4/7. I'll let you know how that goes. Cheers.
