Win a Meet & Greet with the Posies & Brendan Benson

Taylor

On Twitter? Help promote the Posies’ upcoming US tour with Brendan Benson & Aqueduct, and you could win a pair of meet & greet passes to the show in your city.

More info, from the team at Brendan Benson’s website:

How do you enter? It’s simple. Tweet about the tour. Don’t spam your friends and make it natural, not some robotic advertisement. Add your own personality to it. You MUST include the link to Brendan’s tour page (http://bit.ly/bbposaq) and the hashtag #bbposaq. Tweets that don’t have BOTH of them will be disqualified. If you can fit them in, Brendan’s Twitter is @_BrendanBenson and The Posies are @ThePosies.

Two days before every show, we will contact the winner and give them all of the details (ex: for Milwaukee on 11/5, we will contact the winner on 11/3).

We will also have random merch giveaways along the way to keep you going! There will be some goodies from The Posies tossed in there for good measure.

  • New shows added this week:

    7/16 – Ken Stringfellow DJs Arola Nights @ Arola Restaurant @ Hotel Arts. Barcelona, SPAIN
    10/28 – Ken Stringfellow @ Club Castro, Skopje, MACEDONIA

  • Ken has joined Twitter – follow his updates @KenStringfellow.
  • Magnet asks artists to name their favorite American power pop songs, and Chris Walla (of Death Cab for Cutie) chose “Solar Sister.” Here’s what he had to say:

    It’s their finest moment, the perfect balance of bombastic, tricky cheapness and vocal creme fraische. I can’t understand half the words, but it doesn’t seem to matter that much. I learned more about singing harmonies with this record in my car than I did in three years of choir.

  • Also in Magnet: ‘Frosting On The Beater’ makes their list of Top 15 American Power-Pop Albums, and they’ve republished a 2002 article on the subject of power pop, with comments from Ken.
  • Press for next weekend’s shows in NY: The New Yorker & Ken is interviewed by the Brooklyn blog 24/Seven.
  • Not Lame and American Songwriter review ‘Smoking Kills’.
  • Lastly – Ken is playing with The Sad Knights in Lauzerte, France tonight, and the show will be streamed online at La Grosse Tambouille, 23h France time.
