Tonight, we will be heading to Music Hall of Willamsburg to catch the Rural Alberta Advantage and The Dig as they play for FREE! We are such suckers for anything that's free, be it ice cream (the orange creamsicle, we can all agree, was subpar) flashy red and extremely fast Kangaroo shoes, and or the occasional concert. RAA's recent release, Hometowns, spurred and indie-brush fire, spreading through the blogosphere after its release in early July. These Canadian, now Saddle Creek labelites, have earned their fair share of praise from eMusic, the AP and of course P4K --needless to say, get there early, unless you want to wait in a Brooklyn Bowl-size line while drinking 32 oz. to-go beers. Actually, we may show up late.
The Dig -- on the back of their FREE three song demo, which is available for download above, these buzz-worthy New Yorkers use their live performances as a vehical to morph-minds; their lo-fi, hardstrumming tendencies make believers out of skeptics. We were certainly impressed after their Mercury Lounge show. Needless to say, see you tonight. FREE drinks on Stark...No fucking way.
