Usually we have a pair of tickets to give away as a promotion, but today, we've got something a little better. The fine folks at Grog Shop have extended us a little latitude for Thursday's Kurt Vile/Woods show. Not only is this one of the best summer shows to ramble through Cleveland so far, but we'll spice up the deal a bit more. The first ten people that mention Citizen Dick at the door Thursday night will gain FREE access to the show. I won't spell that out for you again, so just go back and re-read the previous sentence. Vile's Smoke Ring for My Halo and Woods' Sun and Shade are on my list of best albums of the year, and both emit a sound perfect for some summer boozing. Beer is cheaper when the show is free.
For those a little unfamiliar with either act, we saw Vile slay Grog Shop earlier this year when he opened up for J Mascis and ripped through much of the album. Similarly, Woods has garnered plenty of critical praise for their LP, a jamming, folky, psych-driven journey of sound. Seriously, go and listen to the 7 minutes of "Out of the Eye" and you will sprint to the Grog Shop doors to hear it live. We will see you at the show, unless you forgot to read this post. Word. Even if you don't get one of the free slots, find me in the audience and I'll buy you a beer for the attempt. Listen/download a couple cuts from each album below, as well.
Thanks for the free passes last night. I was fully intending to pay if all the freebies were gone, but was pleasantly surprised to get a pass! Great show, I was impressed with woods and KV slayed
Hey no problem, D…It was a great show. Arc in Round also was killer I thought. They’re Philly-based also, and I was excited to catch them. Glad you were able to snag one of the open slots. When we got there, none were left!
