Wye Oak Giveaway / Photo Contest! (Updated 4-6)

It's simple and free. Just send an email to auralstates at gmail dot com with your name and location to enter for the following swag:

1. 2 tickets to the G-Spot show this Thursday
2. A copy of the Merge-released If Children, signed by Andy and Jenn with little hearts around their names.

A random winner will be drawn on Wednesday and contacted via email (We'll even tell you where the G-Spot is, if you need to find out!). A runner-up will also be drawn to receive a signed CD. Only locals will be eligible to win the tickets though.

Feeling a little more ambitious? Then try this on for size:

1. Pick your favorite (or any) Wye Oak song.
   
2. Send your name, email, the name of the song from 1), and a picture that you think represents the song to auralstates at gmail dot com.

One winner will be chosen for originality and possibly hilarity or maybe even artistic merit. For this mammoth effort, the winner will receive the tickets/CD prize package and ... *drum roll* a date with Andy! Yeah, that's right. We're putting him out to stud.

Stay tuned for part 2 of our interview with Andy and Jenn. In the meantime, check out part 1 and their live set from the Creative Alliance, courtesy of Jeff the B-more Taper.

My favorite tracks:


Wye Oak - Family Glue (live)


Wye Oak - Mary is Mary (live)


Wye Oak - "Magic Johnson" (live)
