Win It! Win Tickets to Tiny Vipers' CD Release Show

Posted by Megan Seling on Thu, Jul 16, 2009 at 11:58 AM

eeb5/1247770296-tinyvipercover.jpg Tiny Vipers celebrates the release of her new album, Life on Earth, this Saturday with a show at the Fremont Abbey in, duh, Fremont. Damien Jurado and Lazarus are opening, and you can buy tickets here. But if you want to go for free, just send your first and last name to freetickets@thestranger.com with Tiny Vipers in the subject line—one winner will be randomly chosen for a spot on the guest list with a +1!

The show starts at 8:30 pm, and it's all ages, so all are welcome to enter. Good luck!

Here's what Eric Grandy recently said about Life on Earth:

The title of her sophomore album, Life on Earth (out this week on Sub Pop), suggests perhaps a more vital, material world than what was grappled with on debut Hands Across the Void, but like that album, Earth's defining feature is a feeling of absence, of space. Earth hangs alone in the blackness; life is surrounded by death's shadow.

On opening track "Eyes Like Ours," Fortino sings, in her slightly, oddly accented voice (Canadian? Midwestern? Werewolf?), about when "the world was still young... just a small town." On the title track—the album's centerpiece at over 10 minutes long—over an ominous, slightly western, slightly medieval melody, Fortino sings, "I call out to the night/Though I can see that there's nothing at all."

Tiny Vipers also plays a free in-store tonight at Wall of Sound at 6 pm.
