Giveaway: A Pair of Tickets to Tonight's Deastro Show at The Cavern

By Pete Freedman, Thursday, Nov. 19 2009 @ 3:07PM
Categories: Giveaway!


Detroit-based Deastro, born Randolph Chabot, like everyone else these days, revels in an electronic realm. But let's not write off his electro-pop tunes completely. Rather, they're rather catchy--lush, too, in a dream-pop sorta way. Kinda like Owl City, maybe, if Owl City were a more original, more dance-inspired, less emo-oriented and less a total rip-off artist. OK, so maybe he's not like Owl City at all. Bad example.

But it's certainly dream-pop as the above clip shows. And in quite the enjoyable way, too. Which is why we're pleased as punch that the folks at Spune Productions have offered us up a pair of tickets to hand out to tonight's show from Deastro at The Cavern, where the act will be joined by the fellow synth-reveling, London-based Max Tundra, and Philly's heavily classic rock-inspired Free Energy. Should make for quite the fun show, actually. Want in for free? OK: Email me right now with the words "Free Max Deastro" in the subject line and you're in. Good luck!

Update: Contest is over. Congrats to our winner.
