Glassworks in downtown Louisville has been hosting a solid roster of shows this summer, and have made some pretty rowdy screenprint posters to promote said events. Tomorrow night, the art studio cum music venue welcomes the best new band in town, Invaders, with Chicago’s incredible and bizarre D. Rider (”D Rider” was one of many fanciful and mature monikers I ascribed to my roommate in college when clowinin’ on him, in which “d” was an abbreviation for somethin’ – can you guess what it was?), Buffalo Bill, and Ben Purdom. Wanna go fo’ free? This mediocre music blog’s got you covered.
The first person to answer the following trivia question will grip the pair. Email your answer by Friday afternoon @ 3 p.m. to kb [at] thedecibeltolls.com, or you can “tweet” or “twit” or whatever at me @thedecibeltolls. The question: Do you remember the game Space Invaders? If so, how badass was it. The bro or broette with the most correct answer will be notified by email. For you losers who failed to win the contest, tickets are $7 and worth every (no longer on the gold standard) penny. Good luck!

Invaders – The Flu
Hometown weird beard Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy is swinging through the area Saturday, June 13th in support of Beware and Among the Gold, and I’ve got a pair of tickets to give away. Even more exciting is New Zealand native and Drag City representative Bachelorette opening up the show. I’m downright in love with Isolation Loops. Her latest, My Electric Family, just dropped last week, and something tells me you’re going to hear a lot more about this album in the near future.
Anyway, to enter the contest, send an e-mail to kb [at] thedecibeltolls (dot) com with your answer to this question: seeing as Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy and Cheyenne Mize dug deep in the crates for some of their favorite duets, what song or songs from the early 20th century would you cover? The lady or gent with the most awesome answer will claim the pair of tickets. I plan to pick the winner over the weekend, so if you want to participate, get your answer in by Friday at 5 p.m. EST. Good luck!
