Win Two Tickets to See Soulive Play DMB Caravan on 8/26

August 5th, 2011


Soulive—Alan Evans (drums), Neal Evans (Hammond B3) and Eric Krasno (guitar)—formed in the late ’90s and has been bringing its own bluesy, jammy brand of jazz, funk, classic rock and R&B to the dancing masses ever since. Krasno joined the brothers Evans for a recording session in Woodstock in 1999, which eventually became their first EP, Get Down! A host of discs followed, including last year’s Rubber Soulive, which, as you can imagine, reinterpreted the Beatles. But despite the trio’s recorded virtuosity, the best way to experience these guys is live. And guess what? On the first night (Friday, 8/26) of the DMB Caravan at South Island Field at Governors Island, the trio (above, performing at State Theatre Portland) will be playing alongside Dave Matthews Band, O.A.R., Citizen Cope, Vieux Farka Touré and the Wood Brothers. And The House List is giving away two tickets. Fill out the form below, including your full name, e-mail address, which show you’re trying to win tickets to (DMB Caravan 8/26) and a brief message explaining why you’ve got a thing for music festivals. The winner will be notified next week. Good luck.

Win Tickets to See Kaki King Tomorrow Night

April 14th, 2010


Katherine Elizabeth King, who performs under the name Kaki King, learned to play the guitar at a young age, but she basically abandoned it after discovering the drums, which she played in high school bands. But while at NYU, King rediscovered the guitar, occasionally playing shows and sometimes even busking on subway platforms. She cut a demo in 2002, which gained her some attention, and released her debut, Everybody Loves You, the following year. But things really took off in 2007: King appeared on albums by Foo Fighters and Tegan and Sara, plus she contributed music to Sean Penn’s Into the Wild and appeared in the flick August Rush. Her most recent album, Junior, came out yesterday, and to celebrate Kaki King (above, performing “Playing with Pink Noise” on Late Show with David Letterman) is playing Music Hall of Williamsburg tomorrow and The Bowery Ballroom on Friday. And The House List is giving away tickets to tomorrow’s Music Hall show. Want to go? Just fill out the form below, including your name, e-mail address, which show you’re trying to win tickets to (Kaki King, 4/15) and a brief message explaining why you deserve to go.

Win Tickets to See Mayer Hawthorne & the County at Webster Hall

March 2nd, 2010


Some people use the method to figure out their porn name, but Andrew Mayer Cohen, who grew up on Hawthorne Road, added his middle name to that of the street he grew up on to become the soul singer Mayer Hawthorne. He’s most influenced by Curtis Mayfield, Smokey Robinson and the legendary Holland-Dozier-Holland writing team, but Hawthorne is much more than a singer and writer. In fact, he’s also a producer, arranger, audio engineer and a DJ, plus he plays a variety of instruments and has even been known to rap. His soul music began sort of as a goof, but the tunes were no joke and they eventually led him to Stones Throw Records. And now Mayer Hawthorne—above, playing “Maybe So, Maybe No” for Suite903.com—starts a new tour at Webster Hall on Thursday. Want to go? Fill out the form below, listing your name, e-mail address, which show you’re trying to win tickets to (Mayer Hawthorne, 3/4) and the name of your favorite soul song. The winner will be notified on Thursday.

Win Tickets to Tomorrow Night’s Editors Show

February 18th, 2010


The post-punk UK band Editors—singer-guitarist Tom Smith, guitarist Chris Urbanowicz, bassist Russell Leetch and drummer Ed Lay—released their first album, The Back Room, in 2005. The buzz from that earned them appearances at Coachella and Lollapalooza the following year. The band’s second disc, An End Has a Start, released in 2007, went platinum in the UK the very day it was released. Not wanting to rest on their laurels, the guys in Editors (above, playing “Papillon” on Later…with Jools Holland) opted to take their sound in a different direction in choosing to use synthesizers on 2009’s In This Light and on This Evening rather than sticking with the dark guitar rock they’d employed on their previous two albums. But you can judge which style you like best when Editors (with the Antlers and the Dig) play Terminal 5 tomorrow night.

Want to go but don’t have tickets? Then try to win two from The House List. Just fill out the form below, listing your name, e-mail address, which show you’re to win tickets to (Editors, 2/19) and a brief message explaining which Winter Olympic sport is your favorite and why. Eddie Bruiser, who does not care for figure skating, will notify the winner tomorrow. Good luck.
