Ticket Giveaway: David Bazan + Friends @ TTs
Posted on October 19, 2007 at 9:16 am | No Comments
There’s not a single weak link in the lineup for next Saturday night’s show at TT the Bears in Cambridge, what with ex-Pedro the Lion frontman David Bazan being supported by All Smiles (the musical vehicle of Grandaddy‘s Jim Fairchild), The Soft Drugs (their first area full-band show, and fronted by David’s former bandmate TW Walsh), and lead-off hitter Drew O’Doherty (ex-Ivory Coast-er and Pharmacist). A start-to-finish good time, and I’ve got a couple of guest list spots for one fortunate reader, courtesy of the kind crew at Undertow Music.
Let’s see, how to give ’em away? If you’re free that night and can make it to the show, send an email with a subject of “BAZAN!” to giveaways(-at-)bradleysalmanac.com with your full name and the town you live in. Enter by the end of the day on Wednesday, October 24th, and I’ll pick a random winner the next morning, on Thursday the 25th. That name will wind up on the guestlist at TTs door with a +1 on Saturday, and I’ll be there to make sure everything’s cool.
Again, the details:
Saturday, October 27th, 2007 @ 9pm sharp
David Bazan, All Smiles, The Soft Drugs, & Drew O’Doherty
at TT the Bears in Cambridge, MA
Given that lineup and the night of the week, a sell-out is likely, so regardless of my little contest, you might wanna grab yourself tickets of your own right here, and be there by 9 o’clock to not miss a single note.
