If you'll allow me to slip off my well worn critic hat for a second to don a jaunty concert promotion fedora, there's something in it for you. At the risk of taking the unheard of step of being self-indulgent in a blog post, the Prefix powers that be have allowed me to call attention to the latest in a series of New York shows my cohorts and I like to call Neon Lights. This particular edition will feature Broken Social Scene approved Canadian indie-pop machine, the Most Serene Republic, as well as on the cusp locals High Places and She Keeps Bees.
Audio samples:
the Most Serene Republic - Sherry and Her Butterfly Net

High Places - "Head Spins"

She Keeps Bees - "Pile Up"

In exchange for your blog skimming time, we're are offering two tickets (for over twenty-oner's that is) for this Friday night's show at the Union Hall in Brooklyn. To enter, just send an e-mail to neonlightsnyc at g-mail.com with your name and the subject line "Entering contest now." Winners will be notified on Friday afternoon. Good luck. That is all.
