Ticket Giveaway

Win 2 Tickets to See St. Vincent at the Neptune

The great ticket bonanza begins!

Annie-clark-st-vincent-2011

Starting today—and every Tuesday for the next five weeks—we’ll be giving away a pair of tickets to an upcoming show at the newly renovated Neptune Theatre in the U District. Best part of the renovations? The new 21+ bar zone with great sight lines to the stage, located behind the seats. Showbox at the Market gets the importance of this feature—Showbox SoDo does not. You have to be 6’6" to see a show properly at SoDo. But we digress.

Today we’re giving away two tickets to see St. Vincent play this Thursday, October 13, at 8pm. (Just got these at the last minute!) The singer-songwriter’s been rolling solo after years with Sufjan Stevens and the Polyphonic Spree, and her new music is gloriously contradictory—a “Black Rainbow” of cheery melodies and unnerving refrains.

To enter to win, email SeattleMetTix@gmail.com with “St. Vincent” as the subject, and a reason why you want to see the show, by Wednesday, October 12, at 11am. The winner will be notified by email shortly after the deadline.

St. Vincent is at the Neptune Theatre on October 13 at 8pm.

Concert

TONIGHT: Chromeo at Showbox SoDo

Break out the shoulder pads—the ’80s are back.

Email

Montreal synth-pop duo Chromeo is unapologetically ‘80s. It’s Hall and Oates with neatly trimmed facial hair. Paula Abdul should be dancing backup in a Jazzercise leotard. But the good thing about this brash flashback is that the band’s latest LP, Business Casual, manages to make old school funk sound fresh. Ironic ’80s remixing only goes so far—these guys mean business, layering actual string arrangements over synthesizer braggadocio.

Be ready to dance.

Mayer Hawthorne and the County and Sammy Bananas open. Doors open at 7; tickets ($30) are still available.

Time Waster

Watch: Arctic Monkeys’ “Don’t Sit Down ‘Cause I’ve Moved Your Chair”

This is for everyone still stuck at work.

British rockers the Arctic Monkeys are in town tonight to play Showbox SoDo, but the concert is very sold out (blerg). Next best thing is to blow this video up full screen at your desk and crack a beer. Enjoy.
