Giveaway: Tix to See Built to Spill/Dinosaur Jr. at Granada Theater

On more than one occasion I've been shooting the breeze with someone about music and cool live shows we've seen and the other person will say something to the effect of "...by far the loudest concert I've ever been to was Dinosaur Jr." And from how they always go on to describe it to me, it doesn't usually sound like it's even all that close.

And while co-headliners Built to Spill and their brand new CD are getting just as much attention as the Dino Jr. boys, the thing that is being overlooked here is the opening band. Dino Jr. bassist, Mr. Lou "Natural One" Barlow, will actually be doing a solo set of songs from his new album as well. On a side note Lou did an interview with Ear Farm I read last week where he discusses his "plaintive and intimate, fractured and rousing; really condensed, and a little bit fucked up" new album. It's definitely worth your time.

Long story short some of the most important musicians from a seminal period in alternative rock's inception are merging together at the Granada for what should be an epic night --one definitely worth shooting the breeze about later. And the best part is you can attend the show for free as the Granada has given us a pair of tickets to pass along. Just email me with the phrase "I Feel The Pain of Everyone...In My Eardrums" to win.

Congrats to Amy!
