This Sunday, December 2nd, KUCR and the Associated Students will sponsor the Sultans of Satire: Middle Eastern Comic Relief at UC Riverside’s University Theatre. The Sultans are Middle Eastern comedians on a mission—peace through laughter. This unique show consists of young American comedians of Arab, Iranian, Jewish, Armenian, Turkish and Greek heritage in uproarious sets of stand-up comedy.

The Sultans had an acclaimed eight-month run at the World Famous Laugh Factory on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip and just sold out 1,200 seats at USC. They now bring their cutting-edge comedy to UC Riverside — American comedians with all these different Middle Eastern backgrounds, each with their own sense of humor, breaking down barriers and getting the message across that everybody really can get along. The comedy is fresh, funny and raucous — and definitely for a college-age and up audience. For more information, tickets and comedian videos, visit sultansofsatire.com or levantinecenter.org.

ASPB presents the Fall 2007 Concert: Rilo Kiley!

Rilo Kiley is a Los Angeles-based alternative rock band fronted by Jenny Lewis (vocals) and Blake Sennett (guitar) – you might have seen some of the band playing with the Postal Service, Bright Eyes, the Elected, and The Watson Twins. Their music has also been played on Grey’s Anatomy, The O.C., and they rock!

This is the final stop on their US Tour before they head to Europe – so you don’t wanna miss out on this one!

ASPB presents – right off their Summer ’07 release Below The Heavens: Blu and Exile!

Below the Heavens is the debut album by hip hop duo Blu & Exile . Prior to the release, the duo’s DJ/producer Exile had released a solo album named Dirty Science, handled production for the likes of Mobb Deep, and produced two albums as a member of the duo Emanon. For Blu, however, the album is a true debut, as he’s only been recording music since 2004.

Special note from dex: I saw these dudes some time ago, and can personally cosign on this event. The album is nice, and their shows are good. Plus, it’s free! I’ll be there.
