Contest: The Middle East
Since showing up on my radar last September, Australia’sThe Middle East have had a great run. Being one of the more talked about bands at SXSW this past March, as well as a successful performance at Coachella, the band have been capitalizing on their talent, songs and sound. Did I mentioned that all this has happened with only an EP?
The band will be embarking on on their North American tour the first of next month, sharing the stages withLaura Marling andMumford & Sons. *For my local readers, you’ll notice a date at the Shoe next week. Check out the songLonely.
Here’s the contest:
Reply in the comments with the word Lonely, with your name and e-mail and I’ll draw two lucky winners to receive a copy of their EP “The Recordings Of The Middle East”. Deadline, this Sunday, May 2nd at midnight, EST.
