Ticket Giveaway: The Arctic Monkeys @ The Riviera, 12/6
We gushed about this British garage rock group back in August when they were in town playing Lollapalooza. If you missed the chance to catch their frenzied and energetic live set this summer, you've got another chance as they roll into town and set up camp at The Riviera Theatre Sunday night.
The Arctic Monkeys may have started as an internet sensation, but have kept their career relevant with a large devoted group of fans, a infectious live show, and by keeping true to their garage rock punk sound, while still branching out into darker layers of work. Their latest release, Humbug, pays homage to the guitar noodling and organ sounds of late '60s pop music, which gives their live setting a darker tone, yet stays true to their bouncing-off-the-wall concert style. The music is universally pleasing to a rock fan, and would be a perfect way to spend a Sunday evening in Chicago.
And Gapers Block and the fine folks over at Domino Records would like to treat you to that enjoyable Sunday evening with the Arctic Monkeys. We're giving away a pair of tickets to the show Sunday night, thanks to the bands lovely label. Just be the first to email us at contests@gapersblock.com with the subject line "Monkey!" and you'll be a winner. Update: We have a winner! Congrats to Nicolas!
The Arctic Monkeys play The Riviera Theatre, Sunday December 6th at 7:00pm. Tickets are $27.50, and the show is all ages. Tickets are still available.
