COSMOS

Considered the best young Latvian group of the moment, Cosmos' first album received the award for best pop album of 2003. Hell, it went platinum. They've done more since, and they've made love to the audience (no, not in that way) in countries all over the world.

LIGHTING THE CHRISTMAS TREE IN THE CATHEDRAL SQUARE
Nov. 26 's 7 p.m
The great thing about Christmas festivals is that they're all exactly the same (Bah-humbug): lots of lights, sweet-smelling food, hot cider, festive carols, kids running around in joy and a whole square full of holiday crafts and handmade gifts. Plus, there's sure to be a Christmas tree aglow, a jovial (tipsy?) Santa and a partridge in a pear tree.
Come to the Christmas lighting ceremony in Vilnius and you'll see all this and more.
