If Joy Division had a horn section and beards and grew up in Cincinnati instead of Manchester, they would have been called The National and Ian Curtis would still be dead. Speaking of which, we have a pair of tix to see The National perform tomorrow night at the Mann Center’s Skyline Stage with very special guest Cat Power! To qualify to win them, you must be signed up for our mailing list (see right, below the masthead), trust us you want to do this. You get first dibs on concert ticket giveaways, breaking news alerts and other assorted be-the-first-on-your-block type shit. After you sign up, send us an email at PHAWKER66@GMAIL.COM saying as much (or that you were already signed up) along with the correct answer to the following National trivia question: What is the name of the band that many of The National guys were in before The National? Hint: they released just ONE album called Ruther 3429. Please include your full name as it appears on your photo ID along with a mobile number for confirmation. Good luck and godspeed!
THE NATIONAL + CAT POWER @ THE SKYLINE STAGE @ THE MANN SEPT. 27TH
