A record release party is much like the ceremony associated with a Bar Mitzvah. A mature product is released into the public, people you hardly know are dancing their socks off, some drunken family member is coddled around a bathroom toilet releasing his or her own matured product, you get the point… Now, I’ve never been to an actual Bar Mitzvah, but if I had that’s sure how I would like to envision it. Overall though, I believe the main similarity between a record release party and a Bar Mitzvah is the value and importance of having the folks you love, both friends and family, celebrating the introduction of a new stage in one’s life.

That being said, Emanuel and the Fear, cordially invite you to attend our record release party for the debut full-length album, Listen, on Wednesday, March 10th at The Gramercy Theater! Doors are at 8:00pm and best of all the event is ALL AGES.

Over the past several months, Emanuel & the Fear and Co. have diligently worked and organized a special evening that we honestly felt would leave a lasting effect on our audience. We wanted to give something to our fans that would leave them with a sense of excitement over what they had just witnessed. So without building up further anticipation, we’d like to announce that we have secured 25 members of the NYU Symphony Orchestra to perform with the Fear. The set will be comprised of new, unheard songs and arrangements that will be showcased for the first time with a full orchestra. Oh and did we mention, Emanuel is going to be conducting a symphonic piece of his own to start the show!

This show is very much like our matured child and we’d greatly appreciate if everyone could attend. With that, below is the information to purchase tickets. We STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU purchase tickets in advance as we do expect this show to SELL OUT!

The two ticket options are as follows:

1) VIP Tickets (includes Ticket, Poster, CD, No wait, VIP Seating, VIP Entrance To Afterparty) – $33.20 (includes service fee): SOLD OUT!

2) General Admission – $19.95
