The Bongos dates and ticket information announced

The Bongos’ frontman Richard Barone has announced the dates of the band’s two shows next month: Thursday, Oct. 22, at Maxwell’s in Hoboken, N.J., and Friday, Oct. 23, at Hiro Ballroom in Manhattan.

Although Barone piqued fans’ interest by announcing on Twitter and facebook that the two shows were coming up next month, he slyly announced the dates by replying to a comment in his facebook thread rather than make a separate announcement:

Tickets for the 8:30 pm show at Maxwell’s on Oct. 22 are $15 and available on TicketWeb. Tickets for the Hiro Ballroom show the following night are not on sale as of this posting, but should be available soon through TicketWeb as well.
