Kylesa / Fight Amp tickets giveaway

If you’re a Kylesa fan, you’ll want to follow Santos’ blog. Santos did the artwork for Kylesa’s latest album, Spiral Shadow (reviewed here), and has been tour managing/selling merch for Kylesa. His blog sheds light on the thought processes behind his art, as well as the visual and conceptual concerns that go into Kylesa’s presentation now. This post, for example, discusses the artwork for Spiral Shadow. This one discusses “Swans of Black Ash”, a new t-shirt design (see above) made for Kylesa’s upcoming tour, which starts a week from today, on January 13.

If you’re a Fight Amp fan, you’ll want to attend this tour, because the band is supporting Kylesa on it. (The first week also features Zoroaster; the second features Rosetta.) Fight Amp comes Invisible Oranges-approved (see album review and live review). Recently Brutal Panda Records put out a three-way split 12″ featuring Fight Amp, Kowloon Walled City, and Ladder Devils. Nasty! Buy the split here and stream/download it for free here.

TICKETS GIVEAWAY

We’re teaming up with Brutal Panda to give away a pair of tickets good for any stop on this tour. (See dates below). For a chance to win, simply leave in the comments below your idea for your dream three-way split. The coolest idea (by an entrant who can physically attend one of the shows) wins.

For example, a Pig Destroyer/Agoraphobic Nosebleed/Salome three-way split would rule, because of all the inter-personnel connections. I’m thinking two songs from Pig Destroyer, 10 micro-songs from Agoraphobic Nosebleed, and one long song from Salome. (Relapse, make it happen!) My idea is so cool. But (a) being on the West Coast, I can’t attend any of these shows, and (b) I’m disqualified from winning my own contest.

So have at it, and may the best three-way split win! This contest closes at midnight PST, January 9.
