After almost a year away from us (last time they played that sold out 930 club show with Feist, right?) Grizzly Bear is back to play DC their new album and we personally could not be more excited. I mean, just check them out live on Letterman:
It all goes down this upcoming Monday, the 11th @ The Sixth & I Synagogue
and
while the tickets are 16.5 (in advance) or 18.5 (at the door)
we have 3 pairs to give away
cause we love you like that.
Tell us what your favorite Grizzly Bear song is or why you love Grizzly Bear or why you need free tickets more than the next person and well….they just may be yours.
We will let the winners know by Friday at noon.
GOOOOO.
Knife, especially the various remixes.
I’m afraid they will be rambling in concert like Animal Collective or Silver Mt Zion. I’m happy to have your free tickets to prove me wrong.

these guys sound great live…the venue is perfect for their sound…i highly recommend this show.
Girlfriend’s birthday is this Monday!!@! Gimme!!!!!!
August 6, 2008 at 3:53 pmMing. They are not rambling. In fact they’re quite captivating. I saw them open for TV on the Radio a couple of years ago after first hearing Yellow House and being then unimpressed. After seeing the show, though, I gained a whole new appreciation for the album. I saw them again at the Black Cat on their own tour and again they were mesmerizing. They don’t seem to just play their music so much as summon it out of the atmosphere.
August 6, 2008 at 3:55 pmlittle brother is my favorite (and probably who i’ll take)

August 6, 2008 at 4:34 pmI have no money, because little timmy has to get his operation soon, and he would really like to see this show!
August 6, 2008 at 4:48 pm“Deep Blue Sea” is always gorgeous.
I like to play it whenever I feel that I’ve seen too much concrete for the day.
August 6, 2008 at 6:21 pmI don’t have any money, and with 2 more tickets i could 2 of my best friends who are going to college! PLEASE!
August 7, 2008 at 12:15 amGrizzly Bear played my neighbor’s basement in college, but I was stuck upstairs listening to my friend cry about her damn boyfriend so I missed all but one song. Then I bought tickets for the 9:30 show, but I got held up and only caught one song again. I need to see a whole show–if you give me tickets I promise to make it there on time.
August 7, 2008 at 8:33 amI feel what Michael’s feeling. Some of my friends are leaving for college, some are not, but whatever our position we won’t be able to see each other for a long time after these days in August. I love them and I am going to miss them. Love is worth something, isn’t it?
Thanks.
Poor Robin -above - who missed the show in her basement went on to set up my band with her same neighbors college band- starting Junior League off to a great Grizzly-esque associated beginning in Seattle. Now a po’ musician in the studio all month and tired, I could use a killer show for some inspiration and relaxation- and I’ll take Robin!
August 7, 2008 at 2:20 pmAnd I’ll write a review too!!
August 7, 2008 at 2:21 pmgrrr.
August 7, 2008 at 3:59 pmI’ve never asked for a giveaway before because I felt that there were others who needed them more than I. But I realize that I really need your help this time.
It all started with this one kid. This kid with dreads. I met this kid in jazz band. He played bass. He had amazing chops. He had an open mind. And he loved me. It was everything I could ever want…
Then I met his sister.
She was everything I never wanted. Cute, happy… I could never understand what was going through her head. Thus began a yearlong cycle of love, hate, and just about everything else I couldn’t understand.
But this is it. This is perfect! It’s Grizzly Bear! She can’t refuse to go if I told her I had an extra! I mean, unless her brother wanted to go…
…Crap.
Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea… Sigh.
Will I ever get to be with kid with dreads’ sister?
August 8, 2008 at 2:49 amI want you to know,
when I look in your eyes,
nothing I can say when I’m in your thighs.
Makes you want to feel, makes you want to try,
Makes you want you to give the tix to this guy.
Piece of dirt, that is all I’m standing on today
I have an intense crush on the singer who is gay.
I am a patient boy, I wait I wait I I wait.
Hoping that BYT will deliver me a Monday night date.
“lullabye,” because it makes me wish I were a child or something… seriously though… I want those tickets because my friends just submitted to this contest and I know his greedy ass won’t be taking me if he wins, so I need to cover my bases. and just so you know, if he wins and I don’t, I’m liable to do something rash… like grovel at his feet so that he ends up taking me.. and I really don’t want to do that. I have too much pride.
August 8, 2008 at 11:01 amLet Ming have those tickets.
That is all.

the best grizzly bear song is definitely plans. plans reminds me of what i used to have to buy a ticket to see grizzly bear. but plans change. my new plan is to be given a ticket for being awesome. grizzly bear will put a sticker on their vespa just like thurston did.
