This not a test. I repeat: this is not a test. This is an actual ticket giveaway. (It’s so good, I almost thought that we were kidding.)

The Swell Season will be stopping by the Paramount this Sunday, touring in support of Strict Joy which hit the shelves a few weeks ago at record stores across the States. The lucky winner will not only receive a pair of 14th row floor seats (!!!), but they’ll also get a print of this limited edition tour poster made just for the Seattle date of the tour. Email tig@threeimaginarygirls.com with the subject line “StrictJoyInSeattle” to get in the running!

For anyone out-of-town that can’t catch a Swell Season date on their relentless upcoming tour schedule, here’s the link to Glen and Marketa’s recent visit to NPR. (Click “Listen Now” at the top of the page for the full twelve minute interview on “All Things Considered”.) I often will quip that performances like these are pull-the-car-over-and-stop kind of amazing, and that’s exactly what this performance caused me to do. If you have the time, it’s well worth the watch for both the sings and the interview. Enjoy!
