Win tickets to see Delta Spirit and Dr. Dog at Middle East Downstairs

October 7, 2008 · Filed Under Contest 

This Friday night at the Middle East Downstairs, Dr. Dog and Delta Spirit grace us with their presence.  For those Dr. fans, Delta Spirit has a similar 60’s, Beatlesque filled with Americana that Dr. Dog is superior at.  In fact, P-fork found their Beatle similarities to be their downfall.  But one thing I know for sure, this kind of music is happy happy smiles the whole night through.

The Dog played a free show back in the beginning of the summer in Harvard Square and while the John Harvards that gracefully accommodated the last minute switch to an indoors show was packed in like sardines, the experience was still something to be grateful for.  In fact, I was more impressed with Dr. Dog live then on their most recent studio work, “Fate”, but both are equally worthy of your time.

Delta Spirit bring their west coast spirit to the tour, hailing from southern California.  They were recently included in Filter’s Ragged Volume #5 which you can download for free here: http://www.raggedmag.com/

So, to win a pair of tickets to Friday’s show, a copy of Delta Spirits “Ode to Sunshine” CD and a copy of Ragged Magazine (physical copy), answer the following question either in the comments or by emailing Kip[AT]hip2besquare[DOT]net.

Question: Besides Dr. Dog, what other two top indie bands have Delta Spirit opened up for?  Hint: the answer can be found in the Ragged article.
