Friday, February 29, 2008  A brutal couple of work-weeks has me too burnt-out to blog in my free time lately, so I'm trying to make up for lack of content with some contests. Here's another for tickets to check out a band that I'm very happy to see return to Boston...I first caught Norway's Syme back in October at TT the Bear's on the strong recommendation of an Almanac reader, and was I ever glad I took his advice. They were on their way to play CMJ at the time, so I was rightly thrilled to learn that they're back so soon, this time en route to South By Southwest. Unfortunately, their last-minute addition to a three-band bill this coming Wednesday night at the Paradise Lounge has this return under-heralded, and an 8pm start time probably won't help the crowd size much (they're not even listed on the 'Dise schedule yet). They deserve more than a few pairs of ears in that room, but don't just take my word for it - hit up their MySpace page or check out the live mp3s I shared up last fall. I don't know much about the other three bands playing (Modern Skirts, Jukebox the Ghost, Annie Lynch & the Beekeepers), but I'll be changing that in the next few days. I've got a pair of guest list spots available for the Wednesday, March 5th show, so if you and a friend would like to join me front and center for Syme, drop an email to giveaways [@] bradleysalmanac [.] com with Syme! in the subject line, and include your name and the town you live in. I'll pick a random winner from all entries received before Noon on Tuesday, March 4th, and let the chosen one know that afternoon. And even if you're not that chosen one, remember: Arrive early, applaud often. After their Boston visit, Syme plays Toronto the next night, back down for four shows in the NYC area over the weekend, and a stop in Philly before hitting Austin's SxSW the following week. Catch 'em if you can. Labels: giveaways  |
