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 [email protected] 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.
