Hello campers! It's been a pretty crazy week over here at the Ticket Alternative offices - and summer is supposed to be our downtime! Guess all those ticket orders didn't get the memo. Not that we're complaining...
Anyway, onwards and upwards to my three picks of the week, most of which have to do with some pretty awesome concert announcements.
The Selmanaires - Always nice to start with some local boys, this Atlanta band manages to stride multitudes of genres, from post punk to world beats to esoteric jazz, while still keeping their sound hip and sharp. They're touring with Broadcast and Atlas Sound, who will be stopping in D.C. and Atlanta (tickets at Ticket Alternative now).
Heavy Trash - We all need some good, solid, raw rock 'n' rawl every once in a while, and Heavy Trash - made up of Jon Spencer (of Blues Explosion fame) and Matt Verta-Ray (Madder Rose and Speedball Baby) - deliver in spades. They'll be at The EARL in Atlanta on November 19 (tickets at Ticket Alternative).
ChipMunk - And lastly, a little taste of what's been on the buds of folks overseas in the Mother Country. ChipMunk is that perfect summer blend that Lily Allen also serves up - cheeky, charming and cheerful. There's a lil' bit of ska here, a good dash of hip-hop there, and a fab stock of solid pop cool to hold it all together. The kid's only just got his A Level results (yesterday in fact) and he's got a record deal and a hit record. And he was still fretting over his grades! Good lad we say - study hard, kids! Check out his video for the new single, "Diamond Rings," above.
Hey California customers! We have a pair of tickets to give away for a spectacular night of dancing. Rhythm and Passion, the October 3 show at the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse, features amazing performances of salsa, tango and gaucho dancing, sure to excite and amaze. For your chance to win tickets, simply email win@ticketalternative.com with the words "Rhythm and Passion" in the subject. Alternatively, you can buy your tickets at Ticket Alternative.

Paleface and Mad Tea Party Smiths Olde Bar- in the Atlanta Room Friday December 12th - 8:00 PM Buy Advance Tickets HERE
Oh and did we mention we have a pair of tickets to give away! Email us here with your contact info and we will draw a winner on Friday!
If you're a fan of the Avett Bros, chances are - you know Paleface. Touring regularly with the Avetts and recently inking a deal to release a record on Ramseur in 2009, Paleface has been on the anti-folk/neo-folk scene for a bit longer than you might know. From learning how to write songs from Daniel Johnston, living with and influencing a good deal of Beck's early work, toured with Billy Bragg, befriending musicians such as Langhorne Slim, Regina Spektor and The Moldy Peaches - there isn't much Paleface hasn't done. If that isnt enough and you're just wondering what his music sounds like - take a young Tom Waits, give him a pair of Wranglers and open up your parents liqour cabinet. Sounds like a great show to me!
Then there is Mad Tea Party, the retro-pop/honky tonk duo from Asheville.(yes, you can be both retro pop and honky tonk.) They will make you want to dance, so don't try to fight it. Just give in. Think B-52s meets Buddy Holly. Makes us want to shake our booty just thinking about it.
This Friday (12/5), The Sounds will be taking over The Loft, and we want you to be there. For Free.
We have a couple of tickets to give away, just shoot us an email with your name and contact information. If you aren't feeling so lucky, tickets are still available, but going fast. Click here for more info on purchasing tickets.
