Ever since they landed an IPod commercial earlier this year, Chairlift have been one of the hottest bands to come out of Brooklyn. But we like to think we were ahead of the game on these guys, and that the tune from that commercial is nice, but if that is all you know, you should have a listen to the rest of the album. Or maybe just catch the trio live, as they are just finishing up a big run of dates with Peter Bjorn and John and have a headlining date back home in Brooklyn at the Bell House on Sunday May 10th.
And we have a pair of tickets to give away to the show! All you have to do is first….be sure you can attend the show, and second, send an email to woxycontests at gmail dot com with the subject line reading “Chairlift.”
