Ticket Giveaway for The Big Pink, Crystal Antlers and IO Echo at the El Rey Theatre

Crystal Antlers

IO Echo

It is time to reward my loyal readers with a special ticket giveaway for the upcoming The Big Pink, Crystal Antlers and IO Echo show at the El Rey on Wednesday November 18th.

One of my favorite albums from this year is The Big Pink's A Brief History of Love. Frosty synthesizers with chilled guitars perfectly melt with Robbie Furze's vocals. While most folks are praising the ultra catchy "Dominoes" and the moody "Velvet", I would like to direct your attention to "At War With The Sun" and "Golden Pendulum".

The Big Pink are currently finishing up a batch of dates over in the UK, opening for Muse. To make things even more enticing, the bill also has beloved Long Beach heroes Crystal Antlers and fresh from opening the final Nine Inch Nails show, IO Echo.

The contest is closed. Thanks to all who entered.

Ticket Giveaway: Darker My Love at the Echoplex

Darker My Love is dropping by the Echoplex with the band formerly known as the Muslims now renamed as The Soft Pack. Darker My Love's new album 2 should end on many best of lists as their album is all killer with no filler.

Email me at amateurchemist(at)yahoo.com to be entered in a raffle for a pair of tickets to see Darker My Love this Friday December 19th. Contest Closed. Thanks to all who entered.
