Broken Bells, the musical love child of Gnarls Barkley’s Danger Mouse (aka Brian Burton) and The Shins’ James Mercer, will be going on a short US tour to promote the release of their self-titled debut album. They will be stopping by New York’s Music Hall of Williamsburg on March 10th. We will be giving away a pair of tickets to a lucky reader, and a copy of the duo’s debut record on vinyl and the nifty Shins concert poster you see on your left to another reader. This 13″ x 26″ poster is from the Shins’ May 22, 2004 show in Portland with The Fiery Furnaces and Elf Power. It is signed and numbered and designed by Mike King.
To Enter leave a comment with your name and email address (in the appropriate fields) and your favorite Shins song. Also, make sure you let us know what you’re entering for (tickets, poster/LP, both).
This contest ends Wednesday, March 10th at NOON EST.
