It's August already, and if you haven't sweated it out to some great rock outside at Emo's yet, you can't claim to be an actual citizen of this 'burg, let alone a real human in the world. It can be a trying, vaguely sensual experience testing your physical, mental, and spiritual stamina amongst so many different flavors of scenester/hipster/regular Joe, all with their own fragrance and fashion aesthetic - or lack thereof. Also, due to the aggregated body heat of so many amped up fans, temperatures in the belly of the beast can reach upwards of 169 degrees, so shove a snow cone down your trousers (or up your skirt) and head out this evening to the indie-rock gauntlet you might have been avoiding all Summer.

Tonight, New York rock outfit White Rabbits, headline with their Ceasers-esque sneers and fevered Art Nouveau dreams cast in Pop and tropical percussion. Kinda like The Walkmen on vacation in Costa Rica, dig? Three-piece The Clutters take the stage beforehand to show off their distinct twist on the trio-from-hell equal parts McClusky and MC5. Gore Gore Girls precede with their flanged '60s cemetery freak-outs, all dirty go-go boots and pastel headbands. Architects open.

We love you like sisters and brothers so we're giving away a free Clutters CD and T-Shirt in addition to guest list spots! Fill out the form!

This contest is now closed - thanks for reading and congratulations to our winners!
