Matt Pond PAI’m admittedly bad about giving shows on the Sunset Strip as much attention as I give the east side. To partially remedy this, I’m giving away three pairs of tickets to the Roxy. Obviously, the Roxy’s a historic venue in the heart of the Strip. By the way, read that Motley Crue bio for some great stories about the hair metal heyday.
Who: The Straylight Run / Matt Pond PA / Street to Nowhere / Kevin Devine
What: Ticket Giveaway
When: Friday November 17, 2006
Where: The Roxy Theatre
How: Email me at (dukeufo @ hotmail . com) and tell me which band you want to see. Hopefully (but this is not required) you’ll offer to write a mini-review of the show for the site.
The Straylight Run was formed by two of the guys in Taking Back Sunday. The new song on Myspace seems to be a departure from the emo sound. Check out this recent Spin Magazine feature. They fulfilled their Victory record contract and are shopping for a new label. They have 2.5 million plays on Myspace. No wonder Myspace’s servers are always so slow.
I know there are a lot of hardcore Matt Pond PA fans out there because I saw you at his recent show at Spaceland. If you missed him there, here’s another chance. A very talented songwriter, he writes catchy, melodic indie rock. Download “Grave’s Disease”
They’re from Oakland and recently put out an album on Capitol Records. Spin saw them at CMJ and wrote a nice review. They compared the singer to “a young Connor Oberst.”
I’m hearing some nice things about Kevin Devine. He also recently put out a record on Capitol and draws some comparisons to Connor Oberst (Amazon also throws in Chris Carrabba). I like his list of influences on Myspace: Elliott Smith, Pavement, Wilco, Bob Dylan, Hank Williams, Neutral Milk Hotel, Nirvana and Neil Young.
