I don’t think I need to do much convincing for you to head over to our Twitter page and enter in this contest. Just watch the dreamy video for “You Saved My Life” to remind yourself how much you love Cass McCombs. And once you you do that, tweet this (it’s as easy as copy & paste):
I love @freedubya but I’d love them more if they gave me Cass McCombs & Lightspeed Champion tickets!
This is one of the few shows Lightspeed Champion will play with a full band this year, so it should be a real treat. Check out the video for “Marlene” after the jump.
The Kahbang Music and Arts Festival launched last summer in Bangor, Maine with Matt & Kim and Ra Ra Riot headlining — but it’s still relatively unheard-of. This year Kahbang will be running from August 6-14, and the list of performers includes Ok Go, Biz Markie, The Gay Blades, BoB, Free Energy and more. There will be plenty of art installations and a film festival portion as well.
Kahbang’s concept is to translate some of the live music energy from Brooklyn way up north. And in that spirit, we’re offering two pairs of VIP passes to FreeWilliamsburg readers. Just leave us a comment on our Facebook page, and we’ll randomly select two winners who will each get a pair of VIP passes to the festival. Summer road trip, anyone? And speaking of road trips, Kahbang’s planners are still looking to book more bands and artists, so if you are interested in participating, go ahead and contact them here.
VIP ULTIMATE FESTIVAL PASS
Pass Includes:
Entry to festival grounds (2-Day Music pass)
Entry to any film screening (Film Pass)
Access to all special events (Q/A sessions, Panels, etc.)
Tomorrow at Mercury Lounge, these two lovely ladies will be crooning to their heart’s content and one lucky reader will be there with a friend for FREE– just head over to our Facebook page and comment it up for your chance to win. CALLmeKAT played an awesome but sound issue-riddled show during Northside with Au Revoir Simone upon the trio’s personal request after playing with KAT overseas. We’re excited to give her a listen without the bass soaked sounds of the Warsaw. Check out the video for “My Sea” below:
