Check out the above video for "Cherry Tulips," off the band's 2008 release, Some Racing, Some Stopping for convincing on that front.

So it stands to reason that the band's show tonight at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios should similarly be a poppy, enjoyable affair---just as other performances we've caught from the band in the past have been. Many thanks, then to DayBowBow.net, the local music blog sponsoring tonight's show, as it has passed along a pair of tickets to tonight's show for us to, in turn, pass along to one lucky DC9 reader. ~~Want the tickets? OK. Email me right now with the words "One Headlight" in the subject line. First person to do so, gets 'em. It's that easy. So, y'know, step to it. And good luck!~~

Update: Contest is over. Congrats to our winner.
