Contest Win Tickets to See Chad VanGaalen and Women!

Posted by Ned Lannamann on Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 4:49 PM

d551/1238456160-chadvangaalen.jpgThursday at Holocene is going to be one heck of a show: Calgary musician Chad VanGaalen is headlining a bill that also includes fellow Calgarians (that is a word, I hope?) Women. And VanGaalen assisted with Women's self-titled debut record, and a member of Women also performs in VanGaalen's band. And incidentally, the photo of VanGaalen above was taken by Marc Rimmer, who also performs in another Calgary band, Azeda Booth, whose ranks once included some members of Women, and....

Uh, where was I? Oh yeah. Anyway, Thursday is going to be a phenomenal show. I honestly don't think there is a better singer/songwriter—if that's what you can call him—working today than VanGaalen, who's also crazy talented as a visual artist and just a damn funny guy. And there's no band as creative as Women. But why am I preaching to the choir? You're dying to go to this show anyway! And here's your chance to win two free tickets!

Just leave a comment here as to why you should be the one to win the pair of free tickets. We'll choose either the most deserving, or the most entertaining, or we may just throw a dart at the computer monitor. Contest closes at 12 midnight tomorrow (Tuesday) and the winner will be chosen Wednesday morning.

LISTEN:

Chad VanGaalen - "Willow Tree"

I'm the first to post, so obviously I'm the best choice. I read End Hits, attended the recent Azeda Booth show and I <3 Chad VanGaalen.

Because if you don't give me the tickets I'll kill myself. Really, I'll do it. I'll put on some Chad VanGaalen songs and take a buttload of pills.

Sean Connery told me I need to go to this show.

I'm a 19 year-old college student who's worked herself hard enough to be at junior standing in less than two years of school and I deserve a night off (I also work 28 hours a week).

My brother told me about Women, and I've always wanted to hear them, but their name is un-fucking-googleable.

Because at night sometimes I dream....dream about world peace, utopia, meeting God, having a beautiful lovely caring spouse, streets paved with gold, birds and insects living in harmony, gingerbread houses, candy trees, free flowers for everyone.....
And then when I wake up and realize that mostly none of this will happen.
But tickets to see Chad VanGaalen could kind of make up for it.

Because the bleeding heart, hard working 19 year olds aren't old enough to get in to Holocene. And I'm looking for further evidence that my luck is recession proof.

Because I'm going to go to this show regardless, but I'd rather spend the extra $10 on beer.
