Win A Pair of Tickets to See Tech N9ne at Jannus Live on July 30!

If you’re a fan of hip-hop, then you’ll have heard about this awesome piece of news. The Boombox reports:

Tech N9ne‘s 12th studio record, ‘All 6′s and 7′s’ debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 chart and No. 1 on the Rap Albums chart, after moving 55,806 units. His last effort, 2010′s ‘The Gates Mixed Plate,’ released roughly a year ago, sold only around 50,000 copies total…

Assists on the album were a departure from Tech’s usual underground roots, with more mainstream artists — Yelawolf, Busta Rhymes, T-Pain, B.o.B., E-40, Snoop Dogg, the Deftones and Lil Wayne — contributing to the new effort. But Tech’s lyrics on the album cut ‘Love Me Tomorrow’ suggest otherwise: “Tech will never go mainstream/ Mainstream will go Tech.”

Which makes for a pretty celebratory tour. The rapper is trekking around the country, and will be stopping at St. Petersburg’s Jannus Live on July 30. We have five pairs of tickets to give away. All you have to do is enter using the form below.

Win a Pair of Tickets to Jessica Lea Mayfield at Black Cat on March 29!

People have been getting pretty excited about Jessica Lea Mayfield in the past year. And with her sophomore album, Tell Me,  just released in the past couple of months, the attention has only increased. But don’t take our word for it – here’s what hard-to-please Pitchfork had to say:

Ohio neo-country singer Jessica Lea Mayfield writes eloquently analytical love songs. With her languid drawl suggesting an interior monologue rather than an actual conversation– as if she’s thinking things out in her head– she comes across as a woman torn between her heart and her brain. On her 2008 debut, With Blasphemy So Heartfelt, she picked apart her relationships like a scholar deconstructs a text, parsing out the finer regrets and conflicts right up to the point of severing the emotional connection between herself and the “you” she’s addressing. Mayfield sets her songs at that precipice of a break-up– a tactic that lends her music the emotional force of the best country music and distinguishes her from other songwriters.

Jessica Lea Mayfield plays The EARL in Atlanta on March 26, and Black Cat in Washington, D.C. on March 29. We have a pair of tickets to give away for the Black Cat show. All you have to do is email us at win@ticketalternative.com. Or, if you’re not feeling too lucky, buy tickets for either show at the button below.
