CONTEST: Memory Tapes @ Wrongbar – August 13, 2011

August 11th, 2011 | By: Aviva Cohen

Courtesy of our pals at EMBRACE, we are giving away two passes to Memory Tapes @ Wrongbar – August 13, 2011.

Player Piano, the excellent second album from Memory Tapes is released this summer on Something In Construction in Europe and Carpark in the US. It was, like its predecessor, recorded at Dayve Hawke’s home studio in rural New Jersey, where he juggles looking after his young daughter and being a musician.

Seek Magic was released properly in March 2010 and has since sold over 30,000 copies worldwide. It received almost exclusively excellent reviews. Memory Tapes debuted his live show in January 2010 in Manchester, England and has since criss-crossed North America and played shows all across Europe and as far away as Australia. His remixes of the likes of Crystal Castles, Gucci Mane and Britney Spears have had consistent acclaim.

CONTEST: Fergus & Geronimo / Surf City @ Garrison – April 16, 2011

April 9th, 2011 | By: Aviva Cohen


Courtesy of EMBRACE we have two passes to give-a-way for Fergus & Geronimo w/ Surf City @ The Garrison on April 16, 2011.

Things that come from Texas are often odd and grand, and this is no exception for Denton’s Fergus & Geronimo. Named after the rival child gang leaders from the 1994 movie War Of The Buttons, their music is at times both focused and loose, and comes from a wide range of unexpected influences. At the core of the group is Jason Kelly and Andrew Savage, who met while Kelly was recording and mixing a record for Teenage Cool Kids, a band started by Savage. During that four month process of recording, Kelly and Savage bonded over music, the creative process of recording, and the possibility of having a band that draws from a variety of sources. Black and Chicano doo-wop, the energy and atmosphere of classic soul, the precise control of Frank Zappa, psychedelia, and a thought to nearly everything in between. “Sparks is a pretty big influence – not just musically, but the way that band operates,” Savage adds. “It is two guys making weird music with no other agenda than being creative and surprising, and that’s what I want this band to be. That band is a great example of a group that makes no compromises for creativity.”

1. Follow @thesinginglamb on Twitter and tweet the following: WIN TICKETS to see Fergus & Geronimo on April 16/11. For your chance follow @thesinginglamb and retweet! http://bit.ly/fJ2yVw

CONTEST: Deer Tick @ Opera House – March 11/11

March 1st, 2011 | By: Aviva Cohen

Deer Tick

Courtesy of EMBRACE we have a pair of tickets to give-a-way for Middle Brother/Dawes/Deer Tick @ Opera House on March 11th, 2011.

The Rhode Island four-piece known as Deer Tick are bringing their alternative country twang to Canadian Music Week. The signature grittiness of lead vocalist and guitarist John McCauley’s unique voice and the intricacy of his songwriting have carried through the band’s three full-length albums, making War Elephant, Born on Flag Day, and The Black Dirt Sessions some of the realest and rawest material to circulate the indie world over the past few years. And to see Deer Tick live is an even greater experience.

To Enter //

1. Follow @thesinginglamb on Twitter and tweet the following: WIN TICKETS to see @deertickmusic on March 11/11. For your chance follow @thesinginglamb and retweet! http://bit.ly/g1K0eH

2. Email aviva@singinglamb.ca with “I want tickets to Deer Tick” in the subject line and your full name in the body.

Austra

Courtesy of EMBRACE we have a pair of tickets to give-a-way for Austra w/ Metz, Little Girls & More @ Wrongbar (part of CMW) on March 10, 2011.

With their debut album Feel It Break only being released on Paper Bag this coming May, it’s clear that the possibilities for this electronic Toronto trio are endless.
