May 7th, 2010 @ "Googie's Lounge above the Living Room," 154 Ludlow Street & Stanton St., NY, NY

Astraea Records is pleased to present "Black Horse Riders" featuring Todd Carter of "The Looking" on May 7th, 2010 at Googie’s Lounge above the Living Room in New York. Black Horse Riders will be debuting new material from their upcoming debut album- due out later this year. The show starts at 9:30pm. Tickets are available at the door, and Googie's Lounge is located on the second floor of The Living Room on 154 Ludlow Street between Rivington and Stanton.

Curtis-Verderosa and Todd Carter of The Looking also have been a song-writing duo and have written tracks for the up-coming Mobile Wash Unit release “Tent.”
