Also as we previously reported, tomorrow night (Oct 14) Ben and Nick will appear on NBC’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, along with the road band (drummer Sam Smith, new bassist Ryan Leeman, and tambo guy Chad Chapin).

The long-awaited Folds/Hornby collaboration Lonely Avenue hits store shelves, both physical and virtual, today, and with it a flurry of events and upcoming tour.  Ben and Nick were on NPR’s Morning Edition, discussing the art of penning lyrics and wrapping music around them.  (More press items on the Check your Papers and the TV page.)
