After all the buzz around Kate Nash, I am kind of curious what she sounds like live and may have to check out this free in-store. I would expect this to be mega-crowded as Kate has sold out a number of dates on her current tour, including a January 9th show at Bowery Ballroom.

The performance and signing are 7PM on January 8th at Virgin Mega in Union Square. To attend, you have to buy the CD (from Virgin) in advance and I assume you will be given a wristband (or equivalent).

Not that this will get you into the free performance but Kate's debut CD is being released in the US this week and the Best Buy version ($7.99 in this week's ad) comes with a bonus DVD that includes an interview, behind-the-scenes footage and a live performances.

It doesn't look like tickets for the Bowery Ballroom show are moving on eBay so there will likely be "scalped" tickets available for face or below the night of the show.
