Move over, Oscars: There’s a brand new awards show for bicoastal elitists.

“How Long Gone,” the cult-famous culture podcast hosted by Chris Black and Jason Stewart, has announced the inaugural edition of “The Goneies,” an intimate awards show taking place on Sept. 15 at Racket NYC in Manhattan. A limited number of tickets will go on sale at 9 a.m. ET here.

Grammy-winning producer Brad Cook (Waxahatchee, Bon Iver) will serve as bandleader and musical director of the show, which will feature celebrity guests and surprise music performances. While specific details about “The Goneies” are limited, one might envision the “Las Culturistas Culture Awards” but straight — or, rather, for people whose Mariah Carey is Hamilton Leithauser.
