When: October 15 through 23, 2011

How: All-access festival passes are $85, with individual show admission ranging from free to $30, but courtesy of Webster Media Consulting, I have one festival pass to give away.

CONTEST – Buke & Gass @ Sneaky Dee’s – December 4, 2010

Photo By Grant CornettGrant CornettWho: Buke & Gass
What: Brooklyn duo whose unique angle is the use of homemade, hybrid instruments – specifically a modded baritone ukulele and a guitar-bass mash-up. The buke and the gass – get it?
Why: Though they visited a couple times in the Summer, their debut Riposte only came out in September and so it’s time for a proper promotional visit
When: Saturday, December 4, 2010
Where: Sneaky Dee’s in Toronto (19+)
Who else: Support comes from Brooklyn’s Talk Normal and Toronto’s Doldrums
How: Tickets for the show are $10 in advance but courtesy of Union Events, I’ve got two pairs of passes to give away for the show. To enter, email me at contests AT chromewaves.net with “I want some Buke & Gass” in the subject line and your full name in the body. Contest closes at midnight, November 30.
