I've got tickets to give away for a plethora of shows next week. A couple of weeks back, I gave away tickets to the Silver Jews. Next up...
Next Thursday (September 25, 2008) Mission of Burma will be performing their classic debut, Vs. in its entirety at the Echoplex. Opening the show will be Hank IV (no relation to Hank Sr., Jr. or III). Mission of Burma is one of the most important American bands of the early 1980s. They were clearly invested in punk rock, but helped define artier post-punk by brining in tape manipulation and classic British Invasion influences.
Earlier this year Matador Records reissued a definitive edition of Vs., complete with a DVD of live footage from 1983. They did the same thing with the other Ace of Hearts releases, Signals, Calls & Marches and The Horrible Truth About Burma. The vinyl versions include the bonus DVDs.
To win these tickets, email me [dukeufo at gmail] with the name of your favorite Mission of Burma track. Please add "Burma" to the subject line. The contest closes Wednesday at Noon.
