The Submarines - Canada Ticket Contest



So, I finally organized a contest just for the Canadian readers. Well, I take that back. I mean anyone can enter, but I am only giving away tickets to one of the Canadian shows for The Submarines. It seems like I hear that song of theirs You, Me, and the Bourgeoisie every five seconds on iPhone commercials, and lucky for us they actually have some Canada dates on their tour and have graciously allowed me to give away two tickets to one of their Canadian shows. The entire tour is below. But, if you are interested in seeing them in either Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver, send an e-mail to me by Friday at midnight to ent.lawyer@yahoo.com and tell me in which Canadian city you want to see them.

Now, speaking of Canada, I found this great Montreal band that I think is amazing. Plus they have a great name. Bad Flirt. As an added bonus they are readers of the site so you really know they must be great. I am posting the video from the first release off their latest CD, but seriously, their second single is called Mad, Mad, Madeleine World and it is amazing. You can click here to listen for free. I swear to you that you will be humming this thing all damn week.

    Light, poppy and fun. They have a tap dancer as their percussionist. I think that's effing awesome.
