2009 is kicking into high gear as bands hit the road and make their way to Seattle. That said, this weekend we've got a bunch of great ticket ways coming your way to help you join in the fun for free! (Perhaps allowing for more to be spent at the merch table or the bar?)

We have a pair of tickets to giveaway to the ultra hot Tapes 'n Tapes show on Tuesday 1/20 at Neumo's. Opening is Wild Light and Seattle's very own Fences.

As our very own Erik Gonzalez put it...

Tapes 'n Tapes wander from straight-out garage rock to sinister neo-folk of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and the Decemberists to sad bastard indie and back again. Within those genres, it is easy to sound clichéd, however Tapes 'n Tapes keep you guessing and seem to avoid that pitfall.

To enter to win a pair of tickets, email tig @ three imaginary girls . com (with subject line of TAPESnTAPEStix) by noon on Monday 1/19.
