Want a one-night stand with Windows Phone and a good band?

Then stop reading this post and hop on over to the Windows Phone Facebook fan page. Tickets are going fast.

As part of a smart marketing campaign to promote Windows Phone, Microsoft will hold events in five cities -- New York, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and San Francisco in order of occurrence, starting November 7. Performers: Matt & Kim, The Drums, Young The Giant, MutheMouth and Best Coast. Wow, it's a great lineup. I've got music from most of these groups in my digital collection. Ah, if only there was one of these in San Diego. Hey, Microsoft, why not Boston, with its quarter-million population of students this time of year? Surely you won't be run out by iPhone idolaters, if the right group plays there.

"See where the night takes you when you challenge your friends to a Fruit Ninja battle, or chill out in one of our device lounges as you sip cocktails and sample good eats from top local chefs", Brian Seitz blogs for Microsoft. "These events are free," but "tickets are very limited".

Attendees can play with Windows Phones HTC Titan, HTC Radar, Samsung Focus S and Samsung Focus Flash.

The promotion joins another I briefly mentioned three days ago -- Microsoft Store buyers spending $500 or more can get a free Windows Phone.
