(It's Alive) Los Angeles based-band The 88 will appear on the hit CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother as themselves in an episode entitled �Best Prom Ever� airing Monday, May 8, 2006 at 8:30 p.m. PST/EST. Series executive producers/creators, Craig Thomas and Carter Bays sought out The 88 for this episode because they are fans of the unsigned band.

In �Best Prom Ever,� Marshall (JASON SEGEL) wants The 88 to perform at his wedding reception but his fianc�, Lily (ALYSON HANNIGAN), insists on seeing the band perform live before considering them. As a result, Marshall and Lily�s only option is to crash a high school prom where The 88 is performing. The 88 ultimately secure the wedding booking after playing a cover of couple�s favorite song, �Good Feeling� by the Violent Femmes. This episode also showcases the tracks �Hide Another Mistake� and �Jesus is Good� from The 88�s sophomore album OVER AND OVER

As they continue adding TV and film credits to their resume, The 88 are celebrating their newfound success by hitting the road with singer/songwriter Matt Costa for a three-week national tour beginning April 30 in Phoenix, AZ at The Rhythm Room.
