Contest: The Henry Clay People @ Empty Bottle
The Henry Clay People have been kicking around for a few years now and have finally ventured out for a true headlining tour. They've put in some serious time on the road with the Drive-By Truckers, Silversun Pickups and the Airborne Toxic Event honing their craft and receiving raves. Their new album Somewhere on the Golden Coast pools their influences of the Replacements and Neil Young and soaks it in southern California rock'n'roll. Although, it's easy to hear the Hold Steady in them with anthems about youthful exuberance, half-singing/half-yelling, throwaway asides, etc.
The Henry Clay People headline the Empty Bottle on Tuesday, October 19. New York's The Dig open at 10PM. The show's 21+ and admission's $12. The Bottle's at 1035 N Western. Transmission is giving away a pair of tickets to this show. Write in to contests@gapersblock.com with "Working Part Time" in the subject line for a chance to win. [Update: A winner has been chosen. Congrats to Timothy! Thanks for reading, everyone.]
