Favoriting contest (speed round): Mayfest 2008
Posted By Mike Orren in Square Pegs on April 28, 2008
This weekend (if'n you count Thursday through Sunday as the weekend, like we do), Mayfest will be making its annual appearance in celebration of the Trinity River.
This is a fest that manages to mix local acts like Doug Burr, the Drams, the Killdares and Ken Turetzky with regional and national draws like the Gin Blossoms (yup, back around), The Gourds, The Derailers, Ian Moore and Kelly Willis. There's also lots o' stuff for the kids.
As a sponsor, we've got 14 tickets to give away, in pairs of two, to the first seven people who post a comment below indicating which band they're most interested in seeing. The first four who post and win will also get parking passes.
Note: Please make sure that the email address on your user account (required to post comment -- free and easy!) works if you want to win.

I, for one, would like to see the Killdares. I can not get enough bagpipe in my rock these days.

Also, I am 100% not being facetious. After discovering In Extremo and Korpiklaani, I've decided that bag pipes aren't a thing to fear, but totally awesome.

SteveM - if not for the homeless/jobless, who else is indie rock for?

Am I too late? Ian Moore!! His new stuff is incredible. It's not that wanking blues guitar stuff of the 90's. Check out the last album luminaria, just beautiful stuff. The new one To be loved is just as fantastic!

TC, by my count, you're the 7th different person to comment who didn't state he/she doesn't want tix.
I have a very important question. Will there be beer &/or booze available?
