Lost Tricks are having a CD release party for their new 6-track EP, "Keep It Together", on January 2nd @ Mercury Lounge. All of the tracks are streaming on the band's MySpace page and sounds pretty cool. What's even cooler is that there are additional tracks, rough mixes and demos from the "Keep It Together" session posted to the band's website (under the 'Music' link).

The band plays piano-based rock in the style of Keane and Ben Folds. Having caught Keane's sold-out show at the Mercury a couple years ago, I'm thinking that Lost Tricks is also heading for bigger shows in bigger rooms in 2008. On the band's MySpace page (and on the new EP), check out "Something Out of Nothing" which features vocal contributions from Eliot Sloan from Blessed Union of Souls and "FreeMan" which is a great piano-pop song.

Lost Tricks are playing at 9:30PM on the 2nd, admission is $8.00 and you get a free copy of the EP with your ticket.
