The Long Winters at Stinkweeds!!!

I will buy you a beer! The fabulous Long Winters from Seattle are in town next Wednesday (the 28th) to play a free show for us at the Tempe store. It's their only Phoenix show this time around! They record for indie label Barsuk, home of Death Cab For Cutie, John Vanderslice and Nada Surf, and Death Cab’s Chris Walla plays on their records, but that doesn’t quite nail down their sound. It might be power pop a la New Pornographers, but there’s some Flaming Lips in there, too. Suffice it to say that if you like tuneful songcraft with catchy melodies that aren’t too obvious or overly sugary, you’ll love The Long Winters. We’ll also have exclusive stock on their yet-to-be-released new EP Ultimatum, which isn’t out until October, so you can get one early and get it signed by the band!

Seriously, they played at Modified last year and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen there. And no, I am not exaggerating! I am serious about the beer, too...if you are old enough there will be a free beer for you. This show is really important to us, so come on down and help us enjoy it. It's at 7PM and it's free...
