Contest: Transmission Festival Passes

Boompa is the label that keeps on giving... at least to me, to give to you.

They're already giving out a crapload of Leeroy Stagger stuff, but also have two passes to the Transmission Festival that they want some lucky person to have.

You may have heard of the Transmit Now Block Party, which is taking place at the VAG on December 2nd and features Hawksley Workman, K'naan, Champion, Hell on Wheels, Mr. Hudson and the Library, and My Latest Novel (it starts at noon and it's free). But you probably haven't heard much about the rest of Transmission fest, because it's mostly an industry only affair. In other words, you can't buy these passes, and they'll get you into the industry-only showcases at the Roundhouse Theatre on Nov 30th/Dec 1st.

In addition to seeing the artists that are playing the block party in a much more intimate setting, you'll also get a chance to catch: Small Sins, Wintersleep, Coral Egan, Amy Millan, Malajube, Menomena, Jets Overhead, Circlesquare, The Little Ones, Luke Doucet, Fleet Foxes, and Super 700.

If you want a pair of two-night passes just send me an e-mail at quinn.omori AT gmail with "Transmission Festival" in the subject line, and I'll pick a winner at random on November 24th at noon.

As far as I know, the only other way to get in is to get an invite or volunteer (you can do the latter by e-mailing: rachel@transmitnow.com).
