Last Chance to Party With Battles

Pretty much everybody loves Mirrored, the debut LP from electro-happy post-rock quartet Battles. Ok, maybe not your mom, but all the critics, indie rock snobs, and definitely dudes who work at record stores. As touted by an uncharacteristically exuberant Pitchfork, "this foursome's first full-length is a mix of over-the-top whimsy, extreme rhythms, vise-tight musicianship, and a 21st century man-machine interface between live and laptop."

This Thursday, Battles will be at the Croc to make brains melt and heads explode. But before the show proper (doors 9pm), they'll be playing a few songs (also broadcast on KEXP) at an invite-only pre-show soundcheck party from 6:30-7:30pm, care of the good people at Zune. This is the only show on Battles' American tour where they'll be hosting such an event. Added bonus: It's all-ages, unlike the 21+ show at 9pm.

Seattlest has spots on the guestlist for Thursday's party. Two winners get to bring a friend to check out the soundcheck (note: the winners unfortunately may not stay for the actual show...unless you've got tickets, of course). Just fill out the entry form below for your chance to win. No worries: Your info is safe with us and will not be shared with advertisers and/or the government. We'll be drawing two winners tomorrow morning at 9am.
