Austinist Giveaway: Tickets to The Ebb & Flow, The Hourly Radio, Protokoll, and A Featherweight Burden, Tonight at Emo's

Adam Vanderkolk and Tim Jansen provide firm foundations (on drums and bass, respectively) for Ryan Short and Aaron Closson's guitar textures, playing Joy Division precision off 4AD watercolor wash. Over all of this, however, are Closson's vocals, which are as distinctive and present as those of New Order's Bernard Sumner or stellastarr*'s Shawn Christensen...
