disappears Grip Some Tix to Tortoise and Disappears at Louisvilles Headliners Tomorrow Night

The folks at ProdSimp were rad enough to give us a pair of tickets to give away for the Tortoise and Disappears show tomorrow night, February 11, at Headliners Music Hall. Both bands rule hard, it’s going to be great, and you’re probably going either way, so why not save some coin and participate in our contest? To enter, send me some lyrics that Sir Wesley Willis could’ve penned about either Tortoise or Disappears (or both in the same song). I’ll start:

You are a rocking maniac
You were in The Sea and Cake and Gatr Del Sol
Millions Now Living Will Never Die is a rock and roll joyride
You really whip a polar bear’s ass with a belt

John McEntire

See? That was fun. You may either enter a comment below or shoot a message to kb [at] thedecibeltolls(dot)com. Need to see that shit by tomorrow at noon EST, and you’ll be notified by email that yours was the most awesome. You must either live in Louisville or be able to reasonably make it here to be eligible. If you don’t win, there will still be some tickets available at the door tomorrow night at 8 p.m., so don’t sleep on it.

brmc Win Black Rebel Motorcycle Clubs New Live CD/DVD

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is known for two things: 1) being called “hippies” by Brian Jonestown’s Joel Gion in Dig, and 2) very strong live shows. So considering the latter, it’s fitting the group is set to drop a 2 DVD and CD live package, poignantly titled Live. The package spans a number of European shows on their Baby 81 tour. The jam hive hits shelves next Tuesday, November 10th. Wanna win a copy? Cool… well I have two to give away.

Just shoot an email over to kb@thedecibeltolls.com and tell me what you’d like to see more of on the blog. We’ve had a lot of discussions on how to better serve you, the smarmy blog reader. This way, we get something, and you get something awesome. Contest closes on Friday at 5 p.m.

You can peep the track listing and pre-order info here. Good luck.

the-books-525x322 [Contest] Win a Pair of Tickets to See The Books

Intricate splatter folk prophets The Books, whom rarely tour these days and assemble a mindblowing A/V show that’s essentially a live art installation, are coming to Lexington on Monday, September 21st. First… holy shit, right? Better yet, a portion of the proceeds from the show will go toward renovating the architecturally significant Miller House. And The Books will be playing at The Miller House as well, so expect a very intimate vibe.

I have two tickets to giveaway. You probably want these said tickets. Here’s how to enter:

You may either leave a comment below or shoot a message to kb [at] thedecibeltolls (dot) com telling me about your favorite book (see what I did there?!). The first person to name a title I have on my bookshelf claims the tickets. You must live in the area (i.e. reasonably be able to drive to Lexington the day of the show) to be eligible.

I will name the winner by Monday, September 7 via email, so if you comment, leave a valid address. Finally, if you’re going (and you should), please click the “map that shizz” link below to find out where it is if you haven’t been there. It took some digging because Google Maps and Mapquest have the Miller House’s address incorrectly listed.

The Books with TBA
Monday, September 21
Doors @ 7 p.m. / $15 (available at the door or by reservation – griffin@bullhornwill.com)
The Miller House
832 Lockmere Place, Lexington (map that shizz)
Sponsored by WRFL and Bullhorn Will
