The Beantown Bloggery

For most of us mere mortals, somehow acquiring tickets to the U2 show on Friday is going to take some sort of act of God. However, I've got two pairs of tickets to the Tindersticks show at the Somerville Theater on Saturday for the two Blogger readers that are quickest on the draw.

That's right, I'm changing it up this time per one Reader's suggestion during the last contest so that instead of doing a drawing, the two readers who email me first will be the winners.

Known for their brooding, romantic sound and lush instrumentation, seminal British band Tindersticks return after a five year hiatus. Touring in support of a new album, The Hungry Saw, the band includes core members Stuart Staples, David Boulter and Neil Fraser, joined by a new rhythm section of Tim Belhom (drums) and Dan Mckinna (bass). Their sound is inimitably beautiful, tempered with melancholy and delicate irony that has marked the band’s past work – now bristling with renewed energy, focus, experimentation and yes, even playfulness.

Email me with "Tindersticks" in the subject heading and your name in the body of the email. Two winners will be chosen and each winner wins a pair of tickets to the show. Good Luck!
