Metronomy and The Heavy are set to take part in two free shows at the end of this month.
Free stuff is great. Sure, saving up for something special has its charms but when it comes to a good blag there’s little else that can compare.
The good people at Sailor Jerry must surely agree, with the purveyors of fine rum stepping in to host two shows – absolutely free. Taking part are two completely different bands, yet both are thrilling live acts.
In the blue corner stand The Heavy. Snapped up by the Ninja Tune family, the band’s blues rock bluster has made them cult heroes. Releasing a new album earlier this year, the group showed that they could develop without losing their sleazy charm.
An infectious live act, the Counter act have spent the summer storming festivals across the UK. Set to London’s Old Blue Last on September 29th, tickets will be available for free from Monday (September 6th).
In the red corner are Metronomy. Beginning life as an experimental electronic collective the band’s pop touch soon shone through. 2008’s ‘Lights Out’ was acclaimed as a major step forward, with the collective now writing new material.
The band are set to play Concorde 2 in Brighton on September 30th, with tickets available for free courtesy of Sailor Jerry. The latest in a series of shows taking place across the country, mixing music with some special bonus activities.
Tickets for the upcoming events will be completely free, with fans able to apply for passes at the Sailor Jerry homepage from September 6th. Be warned though – tickets are set to sell out extremely quickly.
