This Sunday Deakin of Animal Collective will be playing in LA. I know you were looking for those tickets when this show went on sale and to no one’s surprise they were hard to get if you didn’t jump on them. Well lucky for us, a second show has been added at 5 PM on Sunday and the Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock and we have a pair of tickets to give away for it! This show will be amazing. This is a chance to see Deakin for the first time in LA and he will also be performing with Drawlings who will be playing McWorld with Kria Brekkan that coming wednesday (fbook event) If you want them, send an email to info@thefmly.com with your favorite music of the moment (either an mp3 or myspace, last.fm or something).
FYF Fest is right around the corner and I can barely contain myself. The good people at FYF Fest have hooked us up with some tickets to give to you. All you have to do is email us at info@thefmly.com and tell us your most memorable live music experience.
Tickets are $20 which is a pretty great deal considering the line up and we get to help save state parks which, due to a six million dollar cut in state parks, 100 will be converted into malls and condos soon. You can pick up your tickets here.
Mice Parade was originally the solo project of New Yorker Adam Pierce, who has also played in Swirlies, The Dylan Group, HiM, múm, and Philistines Jr.
From its outset, Mice Parade showed a boldly inventive, highly individual take on post-rock / electronica. Featuring guest vocals from Letitia Sadier and Kristin Valtisdóttir, Mice Parade’s most recent eponymously titled offering, released in June 2007, could be seen as a refined take on the ground made over the previous two, merging folk-tinged electronica with the ‘Loveless’ era swoon of My Bloody Valentine, the rhythmic subtlety of Can, and the opaque melodic experiments of Brian Eno. Yet as ever, Mice Parade’s sound is essentially modern, informed by an esoteric palette, retaining a familiar acoustic presence via an uncliched take on folk/world influences. via FatCat]
Mice Parade are homeward bound for New York City and to welcome back Adam Pierce and the gang FMLY is handing out three pairs of tickets for their May 14 show with Hauschka at (le) Poisson Rouge. To win, send me an email at noah@thefmly.com and let me know your biggest summer plan. A winner will be chosen at random this Sunday, May 10.
fun fact: mice parade is an anagram for adam pierce.
Tune into to Public Education tonight on Indie1031.com for two hours of new music hosted by me and Danny Sway from 6-8. Old time FMLY friend Jack Littman will be performing on the show and we will be giving away some tickets for his show at the Knitting Factory this Wednesday where he will be accompied by Randy and I. Come if you can! We have a ton of tickets to give away so tune in!
This Monday The Echoplex is hosting a great show with The Bird and The Bee and Juliette Commarege who I had the pleasure of meeting at the last LA FMLY show with The Bird and The Bee; she just happened to be one of the back up singers that night. Both bands are a great mellow way to start your week and we want to help you do it! We have one pair of tickets to give away for this show so if you want to go, email me at cameron@thefmly.com and let me know what your favorite mellow Monday music is.
Hey New York, it looks like we’re back in action. I’ve got a pair of tickets to give to you for Cut Copy’s official after party at (le) Poisson Rouge on March 21. Cut Copy will headline the event with a DJ Set and accompaniment throughout the night by Daisy O’Dell, Alex English and Knightlife. The event is 21+, so either be of age or have “some sort” of identification that says you’re 21 or over – (le) Poisson Rouge is my favorite venue in the city, so you’re really in for a treat. For the pair send an email to noah@thefmly.com and let me know why you’re excited for summer.
Next Thursday HEALTH will be playing The Echo. If you have some how missed every show HEALTH has played so far, you are really missing out on an experience and emotions you have never felt before. We want to help get you there this time. We have two pairs of tickets for you. Just email me at cameron@thefmly.com. Tell me the first time you saw HEALTH or if you’ve never seen them, let me know!
Friday February 13th Spaceland will be graced with Don Caballero, sBach and FMLY friends DD/MM/YYYY for a night of face melting rock. If you haven’t heard these bands yet, don’t worry, I think they will be coming up plenty this year. I saw DD/MM/YYYY at the FMLY CMJ show and without hesitation bought all the vinyl they had to sell me. If you want to go to the Spaceland show this Friday just email me at cameron@thefmly.com.
As you probably know by now, this Saturday Subtle will be playing at the Knitting Factory. If you want to go, you can buy tickets here or text WASHERE to 467467. I am also giving away 3 more pairs of tickets. Are you feeling lucky?! Email me at cameron@thefmly.com
FMLY is very proud to present Subtle. If you are unfamiliar with the Oakland-based sextet, it’s time that you familiarize yourself. Using an array of interments including sampler, synth, guitar, cello, winds, electronic and acoustic drums, and Doseone’s rapping, singing, and talking, Subtle takes what you thought of songs and turn it on it’s head. Using a landscape of natural organic sounds and a diverse palate of electronic sounds, categorizing Subtle becomes impossible. Subtle is the future of music existing in every genre at once. Their latest album ExitingARM is a nasty, gritty, serene piece of pop heaven that’ll take you on the rollercoaster ride of a life time.
I have 5 pairs of tickets to give away to this show. If you want ‘em, email me at cameron@thefmly.com
Hey there FMLY, we have a TON of giveaways for today so act quick!
First, FMLY has one pair of tickets to see Brightblack Morning Light at Le Poisson Rouge on Monday, opening is Fursaxa and Zomes.
Second, we have multiple pairs of tickets to catch el Guincho at Le Poisson Rouge on December 2.
Third, we’ve got 5 CDs of el Guincho’s Alegranza. Two will go randomly to whoever wins these tickets leaving the other three up for grabs.
To win any of these send an email to noah@thefmly.com with what you want in the subject line and an album that you’ve been really into lately. Talk to you soon!
