Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
A great show stops off at The Cavern tonight as Sea Wolf, Port O'Brien and Sara Lov pop through town on tour. All in all, a fine touring bill, but the real highlight here is Sea Wolf, as Roy Kasten explains in this week's paper:
Were it not for his big canvas collaborations, [Sea Wolf frontman Alex Brown Church would] drown in Bright Eyes comparisons (and his voice does suggest a kinder, gentler Conor). On the recently released White Water, White Bloom, his Los Angeles-based act doesn't just indulge in hyper-tracked strings, pedal steel and pump organs--it surrenders and receives the mercy of melody in return. Church may write like an English major--"You're the whispering kind/Dark sapphire blood/A vision of veils all shimmery white" is typical of his pastoralist métier--but he shapes songs like an orchestral pop savant.

So there you go. And thanks to the folks at Spune Productions who are putting on this show, we've got a couple free pairs of tickets to give away--two pairs, in fact. Want one of them? OK: be one of the first two people to email me right now with the phrase "You're A Wolf" in the subject line and you and a friend are in for free. Good luck!
Update: Contest is over. Congrats to our winners.
