There's a nice pairing atop the bill on tomorrow night's somewhat avant-metal-leaning show at the Granada Theater as the Boston-founded, L.A.-based Isis rolls through town with the Chicago-based (and instrumental) Pelican in tow.
Never seen Isis live, but I can say from experience that Pelican's is a show that shouldn't be missed. Melodic and heavy (and never boring despite a lack of vocals), Pelican's performances are entrancing, to say the least. With this band opening for Isis' equally melodic, but far more in-your-face approach (vocals help there, for sure), it should make for quite the one-two knockout combo for your Thursday night activity. Which is why we're pleased to announce that, thanks to the folks at the Granada Theater, we've got three pairs of tickets to give away to the show. Want a pair? Shoot me an email with the title of Isis' just-released fifth studio album, "Wavering Radiant," in the subject line, and a pair is yours. Best of luck.
Update: Contest is over. Congrats to our winners!
