Win It! Go to Tonight's Mission of Burma Show for Free!

Posted by on Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 1:06 PM

Mission of Burma and Explode Into Colors are playing the Croc tonight and we're giving away a pair of tickets to the show via our ticket info Twitter feed! Check out @SEAshows to find out how to win. (It's easy, I promise.)

Here's what Eric Grandy wrote about Explode Into Colors in last week's U&Cs:

Mission of Burma, Explode into Colors
(Crocodile) Mission of Burma are a well-known quantity at this point, but openers (and recent Kill Rock Stars signees) Explode into Colors might not be—at least not yet. The Portland trio of Claudia Meza (baritone guitar, ex-Japanther), Heather Treadway (percussion, melodica), and Lisa Shonberg (drums) make rickety, rumbling dub punk that sounds like a more scattered, spooked-up echo of the Slits. On the song "Heat," over fraying, high-frequency delay; a sparse, funky bass line; and some tumbling drum clatter, the band break into a spectral chorus of "bombs over Baghdad" that lands as credibly as Dungeon Family appreciation as it does as inscrutable war protest. Righteous XX-chromosome post-punk may not be uncharted territory—what is in 2009?—but Explode into Colors tread it artfully. This is their first Seattle appearance outside of playing house shows—don't miss it. ERIC GRANDY

Gina Young also advises you not to miss them.

(UPDATE: The tickets have been won. If you missed out, tickets will still be available at the door—doors open at 8 pm.)
