Win Tickets to House of Hands' Halloween Party!

Posted by Megan Seling on Wed, Oct 28, 2009 at 12:47 PM

House of Hands, the very same people who brought you that 500 Pine Block Party this summer, are planning one hell of a Halloween bash in the parking lot outside Havana.

There will be music by Truckasauras, Introcut, Tigerbeat, Sean Cee, Limpwrist (the DJ, not the hardcore band), and Nicki Danger, as well as performances by the Castaways, Dice, and Julavee. The part will have three bars, and the weirdest/best part of all:

It takes place in a giant, interactive human hive that incorporates art in all forms; lighting, sound, video, dance and our beloved Capitol Hill community. The space is multiple tents covered in a mesh of organic materials creating a virtual nest around you.

What!? Exactly.

Tickets are on sale now for $10, but we have a couple pairs to give away to some lucky Line Out readers!

To enter to win a pair of passes, send your first and last name via e-mail to freetickets@thestranger.com. Put House of Hands Halloween in the subject line.

The tickets are here at the Stranger office, so you'll have to be able to come by sometime Thursday or Friday afternoon to pick them up.

Good luck!

Win Tickets to Brand New at the Showbox SoDo!

Posted by Megan Seling on Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 12:19 PM

I know it's not "cool" or whatever, but I like the band Brand New. I think they're underrated. And in last week's Underage column, I reviewed their new album Daisy in preparation for tonight's show at the Showbox SoDo:

It opens with a woman singing an old-timey ballad that sounds like it's crackling out of a wooden radio from the 1930s. It goes on for over a minute, and just as you begin to wonder if that's it, if that's all the song really is, the band's drums, bass, and guitar all pound in to kick off "Vices," one of the most abrasive songs the band have ever written. Singer Jesse Lacy has never sounded so frenzied as he does screeching, "She said good-bye to the ground... and JUMPED!"

Also more prevalent than ever before is their admiration for early Modest Mouse. It's no secret the band members are fans—when they played Showbox Sodo a couple years ago, the band covered "Trailer Trash." On Daisy, both "At the Bottom" and "Be Gone" sound like the efforts of a less drunk but more goth Isaac Brock.

Want to see Brand New at the Showbox SoDo tonight for free?? Then send your first and last name to freetickets@thestranger.com with Brand New in the subject line. One winner will be chosen at 2 pm today and put on the guest list for the show.

Good luck!

Free Tickets to Two Great Shows!

Posted by Megan Seling on Fri, Oct 9, 2009 at 1:06 PM

juniorboyspromo.jpg
Junior Boys are playing Chop Suey tomorrow night, and Eric Grandy says that the last time they were in town, they were surprisingly and totally fantastic. From this week's U&Cs:

Junior Boys, Circlesquare
(Chop Suey) I wasn't that stoked to see Junior Boys last time they came through town. For one thing, I was more excited about catching their opening act, the inimitable Max Tundra, but for another, I remembered their live sets being kind of anemic, a problem given that their icy-cool elecro pop is already pretty understated on record. But either I remembered wrong or else the duo have stepped up their game, because that show killed. The Boys gradually dialed up the intensity, building from frosty soul jams to subtly persuasive percussive tracks, making for a surprisingly sweaty dance party for a Sunday night. So color me converted—I can't wait to see how they'll warm things up on a proper Saturday night. ERIC GRANDY

Want to see if they pull it off again? For free!? Send your first and last name to freetickets@thestranger.com with Junior Boys in the subject line and you'll be entered to win a pair of tix to tomorrow's show. All entries must be received by 5 pm tonight.

Good luck!

Oh, and speaking of free tickets... sometime in the next hour, we'll be giving away a pair of tickets to tonight's Mono show at Neumos via SEAshows, our ticket/show info Twitter feed. You have to follow to find out how to win.

Posted by Megan Seling on Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 12:11 PM

kisslarge.jpg
If you missed it the first time around, we have a pair of tickets to the upcoming KISS show to give away to one lucky reader!

KISS is playing KeyArena November 15th, and tickets went on sale Saturday morning (you can still buy them here). But if you're feeling lucky, send your first and last name to freetickets@thestranger.com (with KISS in the subject line) and you might get to go for free! The tickets are valued at $37.50, and after service charges the price for two is nearly $100. Imagine all the face-paint you could buy for $100!

Get Free Wristbands to the Garage Fest in Portland!

Posted by Megan Seling on Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 3:42 PM

Garagefestsmall.jpg
Feel like taking a road trip? On October 17th, dozens are artists are going to perform at the Garage Fest in Portland—Roky Erickson, the Dirtbombs, Black Lips, Pierced Arrows, Jay Reatard, King Khan & BBQ Show, Gris Gris, the Spits, Dutchess & the Duke, and many, many more. The whole thing is FREE so long as you register in advance here, but two lucky Line Out readers get to get to go for free! Wait... what?

Let me explain.

When you register online (by September 28th, hurry!), all that means is you will be on the list to get a wristband at the gate. So you'll have to go down there, and then wait in the will call lines to get your wristband before you can actually enter the festival. And even then, it's based on a first come first served basis, so you might not even get in if you get there late. Pain. In. The. Ass.

But winning a pair of wristbands will allow you to bypass that step! The wristbands will be sent to you in the mail, so all you have to do is show up whenever the fuck you want, flash your wristband, and head on in to the festival! (The music happens in four different venues and their capacity varies—the wristband doesn't guarantee you entry to a full venue.)

To enter to win a pair of wristbands, just send your first name and mailing address to freetickets@thestranger.com—put Garage Fest in the subject line. Two winners will be notified via e-mail, and your wristbands will be sent next week to allow plenty of time for them to get there before you head out of town. We will only use your mailing address to send you your wristbands—no mailing lists or anything else. Promise.

For the complete line-up, venue info, and to register for a wristband, visit www.scion.com/garagefest.

Good luck!

Win Tickets to KISS!

Posted by Megan Seling on Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 11:39 AM

Have you heard? KISS are playing the KeyArena Sunday, November 15th. Tickets don't even go on sale to the general public until this Saturday, but Line Out has a pair to give away to one lucky nerd KISS fan!

To enter, send your name to freetickets@thestranger.com with KISS in the subject line. You can buy tickets here, starting Saturday at 10 am (pre-sale started today, if you're a member of the KISS Army).

One winner will be randomly chosen and notified via e-mail. They're hard tickets, so you'll have to be able to come to the Stranger offices on Capitol Hill to pick them up before the show (you'll be given plenty of notice, though, should you have to make arrangements with work or something).

Good luck!

Fan of the Sea Navy? Need Some New Art?

Posted by Megan Seling on Mon, Sep 21, 2009 at 10:34 AM

Steve Keene, the same Brooklyn artist who did Pavement's Wowee Zowee and Apples in Stereo's Fun Trick Noisemaker, has done some paintings of the cover of the new Sea Navy record, Memory Matches, and the band wants to give them away to a couple lucky fans!

But that's not all. Along with the tickets comes two vouchers for two extra drink tokens. Sweet!

Here's just a sample of some of the bands who'll be playing over the weekend: Central Services, They Live!, Boat, the Redwood Plan, Champagne Champagne, Skeletons with Flesh on Them, the Kindness Kind... the list goes on. So if that sounds like a fun time to you, send an e-mail to freetickets@thestranger.com with BEER! in the subject line.

Then enter to win a pair of free tickets to the Pains of Being Pure At Heart!

The band has been praised here and here and in this week's Stranger Suggests where Eric Grandy says: "Their self-titled debut is full of giddy, crushed-out love songs, coy come-ons, blurry girl/boy vocals, and not a moment without some sweetly sticky chorus or softly seductive guitar melody."

They'll be at Neumo's Tuesday, September 15th, with the Depreciation Guild and Cymbals Eat Guitars. The show is $13 (and tickets are on sale now!), but one of you lucky readers gets to go for free (with a +1, even)! To enter, just e-mail your first and last name to freetickets@thestranger.com. Put Pains of Being Pure at Heart in the subject line.
