Posted by Valerie / June 19, 2012

Brasstronaut, the great six piece indie band from Vancouver who got on the Polaris long-list in 2010 with their first album, are back in Montreal this Friday June 22 at Divan Orange. Last month, they released their second LP on Unfamiliar Records titled Mean Sun. The album is a perfect summer morning playlist and these guys are rumored to put on a great live performance. If this ain't reason enough to go to the show, openeing acts Útidúr, a ten piece band from Iceland, and Sweet Mother Logic who have their lil buzz going on and should be worth checking out as well.

Since we really want you to go see this show, here's how to enter our contest: tell us how you first found out about Brasstronaut, or, if you haven't had the chance to heart them before 5 minutes ago, tell us how much you want to go to Divan Orange this Friday?

Contest is closing on Thursday, June 21 at 8 PM.
Check back this page Thursday night to find out who won! Make sure to comment with your full name in order to be eligible.
***Update***

I first found out about Brasstronaut from this page, but I've been listening to them all morning and love it! This is the entire reason that I listen to the podcast and come to the site - to find great new music. In fact, that's also how I found out about Sweet Mother Logic a few months ago, all of whose albums I now own (which is very likely to happen shortly with Brasstronaut as well). I would love to go to this show!

Well, I didn't know about them so far... but as soon as I get a break from work, I'll go plunder the intarwebs to listen to a couple of their songs...

And since it's from you guys at midnight poutine, I'm pretty sure they're very good cause you never disapoint! I love discovering great new music with you guys, especially when it's live music...

Last time I won, it was for Class Actress and Penguin Prison and I ended up buying a t-shirt and a combo digital + vinyl from PP. Same thing is bound to happen this time around.

I first saw Brasstronaut's music video for Old World Lies and thought to myself, "that is a tasty horn."

So I pursued them in Vancouver and saw them play live in old churches and the such.

I haven't seen them in years and would very much like to see them at Divan. Like, planning to call into work sick. Perfect way to kick summer off its ass!

I heard about them from Dan Mangan, who shares a bass player with Brasstronaut. Apparently "there are only actually 5 bass players in Vancouver". Def want to check them out live! And of course, I always dig me some Sweet Mother Logic. As much as I'm loving 'funemployment', I'd appreciate some tickets so I could take my lady out!!
Cheers

CBC Radio 3 via CBC Music! Likely the Grant Laurence Live Show, and Brasstronaut immediately became thesis-writting music. Please take pity and help me get out of the house to hear the group that gives me hope of someday leaving my desk behind, live.
