Good day, guys and dolls! Have we got a treat for you. This Thursday, the Grog Shop is hosting a show featuring three great bands: Cursive, Cymbals Eat Guitars, and Conduits! We want to see YOU there so we’re giving away a pair of tickets to the show and a copy of Conduits’ new self-titled album.
I know, I know, you can barely contain yourself right now. It’s completely understandable. What could be better than free tickets to this great show at the Grog Shop AND a free album? Not much.
I mean, look at that lineup. Cursive is touring in promotion of their new album, I Am Gemini, a tale of twins separated at birth who are reunited. Of course, the catch is that one twin is evil and one is good. In this concept album, Cursive dabbles in painting the tale of the two brothers through the nuanced lyricism of Tim Kasher and the hard-hitting guitars and breakneck rhythm changes for which the band is known.
Supporting Cursive is another great band that’s boasting soaring guitars and curious vocals. I’m talking about Cymbals Eat Guitars, an indie-rock gem out of New York that has two albums under its belt and hopefully many more to come. Their most recent album, Lenses Alien, came out last August.
Rounding out the night is Omaha-based band Conduits, which paints a dreamscape through haunting female vocals and guitars laden with pedal-heavy kinetic energy waiting to burst into flames. Their new self-titled album is so good we’ve got our hands on a copy of that to go with your tickets to this show.
