For the fifth time in the last seven years Yo La Tengo will celebrate Hanukkah with a series of shows at Hoboken, NJ’s Maxwell’s. The group will play the intimate venue each night of the Jewish holiday, beginning December 4 and concluding December 11. As in the past, each show will begin with an opening band, followed by some comedy and then a Yo La Tengo performance. Past openings acts have included buzz bands like Tortoise and comedians such as Sarah Silverman, but this year the group says, “That's all we're going to tell you, so don't ask who's playing. We can guarantee that it'll be great, and that no matter what night you're there, you'll wish you had come another night instead. That's just the way you are; there's nothing we can do about that.”  Yo La Tengo has also traditionally invited out surprise guests like Ray Davies and arranged an eclectic mix of covers for its Hanukkah shows.
 
Doors will open at 8 pm each night, with the show starting promptly at 8:30, except for Friday and Saturday December 7-8, which will be 8:30 doors, 9:00 show. The trio will perform in Port Washington, NY tonight.
