CONTEST: Win Tickets for the Old School Jams Live Concert in LA Sunday
Another ticket giveaway, this time for my West Coast, LA-based readers. If you're out in that part of the world, this is a CAN'T-MISS show regardless of whether you win the free pair of tickets being given away by the crew here at The Kitchen or not!
Here's the show details: it all goes down on September 13th at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles - the Old School Jams Live bill features Lisa Lisa, Ready for the World, Klymaxx, Kurtis Blow, Soul Sonic Force, Grandmaster Melle Mel & The Furious Five, Egyptian Lover doing a DJ set and Peanut Butter Wolf (who's not technically Old School, I know) doing a VJ set. That sh-t is FIYA! How can you even consider passing on that??
Here's the (admittedly cheesy but still great anyway) trailer for the concert:
Tickets are on sale for $35 via Ticketmaster here but Nederlander Concerts has kindly given us a pair of tix to give away to a lucky winner who can answer the following question:
What was the name of the electro producer who was part of the original line-up of N.W.A?
Email correct answers to me (Subject line: 'Old School Jams Live Contest') by 3:00PM EST (12noon PST) tomorrow (Friday Sept. 11) and I will select a winner at random from all correct entries received by deadline. NOTE: you must be able to provide your own transportation to the show. Tickets will be left at Will Call under the winner's name.
Finally, Nederlander OD'd on the promo for this show and produced a bunch of other really cool promo flyers for Sunday's concert that I'd hate to see go to waste so check 'em out here: Old School Flyer 1 | Old School Flyer 2 | Cassette Poster
