To celebrate the release of his new album, Secret, Profane & Sugarcane, Elvis Costello will perform twice in one day in one state for free. Monday, June 22nd, you can catch him at both the San Francisco and Hollywood Amoeba Music locations. He performs at the SF location at noon, nice and early, giving everyone enough time to hop on a plane or drive at a nearly legal speed down the coast to catch him at the Hollywood location at 8pm. For those not on the West Coast, the entire LA leg of the one day tour will be streamed live on the Amoeba website.
