But what should be of immediate interest to you, dear reader, is the fact that they’re celebrating the milestone with a party. A big party at the El Mocambo on September 16 – next Wednesday – featuring a terrific lineup of acts headlined by The Coast and also featuring The Meligrove Band, Girl + The Machine, Brent Randall & His Pinecones and Emma-Lee.

Tickets for the to-do are $12 in advance or $15 at the door, but courtesy of Bearsuit I’ve got a pair of passes to give away to the show for free – all you have to do is send me an email at contests AT chromewaves.net with “I want to wear a Bearsuit” in the subject line and your full name in the body. Contest closes at midnight, September 14, and don’t worry if you don’t know anyone from the guest of honour – you can have as much cake and ice cream as you want*.

* This is no way implies or guarantees the presence of free, all-you-can-eat cake or ice cream.
