That’s right: Karen O & Co. will play a show at an as-yet-undisclosed venue on the LES on Friday, to mark the launch of a fancy mobile phone. Tickets aren’t on sale to the general public. You can “win” tickets by buying a Droid phone on Friday, or follow Verizon’s street team at twitter.com/vcastmusic—so you can track them down, try out the phone and have a chance of winning a ticket. All sounds a bit complicated to us. From the press release:
You can be one of the first to experience the brand new Droid by Motorola – the world’s first smartphone with Android 2.0 – available exclusively on the Verizon Wireless network. Follow Verizon Wireless’ New York Street Teams at twitter.com/vcastmusic to find out where they will be so you can be one of the first to try the Droid out for yourself and win tickets to attend an exclusive celebration in Manhattan’s Lower East Side featuring a performance by Yeah Yeah Yeahs and mingle with celebrity guests including Adrian Grenier, Kim Delaney, Katrina Bowden and more.
Sock it to the man, Yeah Yeah Yeahs!
