Austinist Giveaway: Tickets To See Stellastarr*!

Brooklyn's Stellastarr* played a brilliant show at the Parish Room a few months back, replete with dazzling light show, explosive instrumentation and lead singer Shawn Christensen's powerful, dead-on Robert Smith wail. It was a set imbued with the same frenetic energy as their sophomore effort, Harmonies for the Haunted, an album brazenly inspired by any of a number of New Wave acts and whose ceaseless momentum makes it one of our guiltiest pleasures of the year.

Lucky for us, they're coming back in two weeks to play their last gig of 2005. The show has some sort of restricted access that requires you to sign up on a 101x database to buy tickets, the details of which we don't understand. As they're playing with Spoon, Morningwood, and Alpha Rev, this is guaranteed to sell out well in advance.

And lucky for you, Austinist has a pair of spots on the guestlist to give away! From now until next Friday the 16th, send us an email with the names of all four members of the band and a subject line entitled "Stellastarr*", and we'll enter you into our special drawing. Best of luck, dear readers!
