Explode into Colors is about to embark on a national tour with Quasi, and on Sunday March 7 there's a mighty sendoff party for 'em at Holocene. XIC (as the cool kids are abbreviatin' it) will play a set, preceded by a dance performance from Janet Pants and the premiere of the brand-new episode of Into the Woods, in which Explode into Colors co-star alongside the snowy peak of Mt. Hood. The show is a mere five bucks to get in, BUT there's an even cooler way to get in for free, as the good folks at Holocene tell us:
Yeah you can play it cool and pay $5 to get in (every touring band needs gas money), or you can make them a tour mixtape and get in for FREE. Yes FREE. Put your favorite songs on a good old-fashioned cassette, pour your heart out, the real deal. But whether you save the girls from van boredom with a tape, or provide gas money, you are helping the tour happen. This night is about having fun and saying thank you to the fans.
Want to show your love via TDK90? Here are some suggestions for your Explode into Colors tour send-off mixtape (you can totally steal our ideas). The songs are all about colors, or explosions, or... you get the idea.
