Contest: Jamie Lidell at Fortune Sound Club
Jamie Lidell has been making music since I was in Junior High, and he continues to create culturally relevant material ten years and one University degree later. He blends old-school R&B with contemporary electronic beats to create a sound that is all his own. His latest self titled release consists of hard-driving dance tracks that are just funky enough to take you back in time.
In support of his new album, Lidell is embarking on a North American tour that stops in Vancouver at Fortune Sound Club on April 2. (Special guests include Empress Of and Ludwig Persik.) Advanced tickets are $16 and they can be purchased online or at Red Cat, Zulu and Highlife Records.
For a chance to win two free tickets, email winnieguestlist(@)gmail.com with your name by March 31st at 11:59pm. Please use “Lidell Contest” in the subject line.

TIGER & WOODS (LIVE) at CIRQUE
Tiger & Woods, consisting of Larry Tiger and David Woods, are a secretive musical duo that often hides behind a fierce looking leopard logo. They’ve recently garnered much attention for their funk infused disco, which has probably gotten them more ass than the real Tiger Woods circa 2010.
Their latest release “Through the Green” got them an 8.2 on Pitchfork media, with the track “Gin Nation” even making it on the sites top 100 tracks of 2011 list, coming in at a solid 83. For the past few months, Tiger & Woods have been touring the world, selling out clubs in New York, London, and Miami.
While the lack of information regarding their personal histories is frustrating, especially if you fantasies involving a hotel room and bubble baths, the epicness of this dream team cannot be denied. The only scary part is that these dudes are just getting started.
So if you want to experience the magic that is Tiger & Woods, come by FIVESIXTY (560 Seymour Street) on May 25. Tickets are only $15.00 in advance and are available online and at the following locations: Red Cat, Puff, Zulu, Highlife and Beatstreet.
Also taking the stage is Winnie Cooper co-founder @Tristanorchard, as well as Luke Mckeehan, Joel Armstrong, DJ Woodhead, SKLA and Right Hand Barber. Doors at 10 pm. More information on the event page.
