Giveaway: LA’s Hands @ Brick & Mortar
June 18, 2013
No less an arbiter of good musical taste than Time says LA quartet Hands is one of the 11 bands that you don’t know (but should). Better get on it!
But seriously, if you’re into the danceable indie rock craze that is sweeping the nation, Hands is well worth your time. Luckily, your chance is coming up soon. Hands is touring in support of their debut LP Synesthesia (out now on Kill Rock Stars), and they’re stopping through Brick & Mortar on June 21.
For your chance to win a pair of tickets, email me at mike.g@thebaybridged.com with “Hands” in the subject line and your full name in the body of the email. The contest closes at Thursday, June 20 at 12pm PDT, and a winner will be chosen at random and notified by email.

Ticket Giveaway: The Dandy Warhols at The Fillmore, 6/15/13
June 13, 2013
We’re giving away a pair of tickets to see The Dandy Warhols play at the Fillmore on Saturday night. But wait. Before you disregard this as another giveaway for an outdated, worn-out rock band from the early 2000s, consider this: the band will play their 2000 critically acclaimed album 13 Tales from Urban Bohemia in its entirety on Saturday. Released 13 years ago and now reissued, 13 Tales is a sprawling, epic kind of rock record, with horn-driven acoustic space jams rubbing shoulders with indie rock songs.
Best known for “Bohemian Like You,” which made its way into at least one TV commercial for its urgent, distorted guitar riff and lead singer Courtney Taylor-Taylor’s baritone and ironic delivery. Played like a Blur song with a sense of humour, “Bohemian Like You” is a mocking tribute to the urban bohemian — a category we’re never really sure if The Dandy Warhols fit into themselves. On a side note, I’m convinced that the track “Solid” is the first song written to make fun of the white hipster with an asian girlfriend trend that seemed to dominate the 2000s.
That said, go see this show for free on us. Bring your asian girlfriend, or your asian boyfriend, or whatever you’re into these days (some pills and a slacker attitude will work fine as well) and watch The Dandy Warhols bring back the 2000s with style.
To enter this contest, submit an email to contest[at]thebaybridged.com with your full name in the body and “The Dandy Warhols at The Fillmore” in the subject line. The winner will be chosen at random and will be awarded one pair of tickets unless otherwise noted.
