Cold War Kids Concert at House of Blues

After self-releasing three EPs and playing numerous live shows across the U.S. (including a buzz-generating performance at the South by Southwest music festival), Cold War Kids became one of the most talked-about new bands of 2005-06. Now signed to Downtown Records (Gnarls Barkley, Art Brut), the California-based group is set to win scores of new fans with the release of their full-length debut Robbers & Cowards - a stunning mix of stripped-down rock, rootsy blues and soulful energy.
