Giveaway: Thievery Corporation & Federico Aubele @ Stubb's [Friday]

Thievery Corporation’s unique musical formula blends beats and grooves from all over the world, resulting in diverse, invigorating concoctions that transport the listener to exotic spots across the globe, be it a comfortable South American cafe, a mysterious Middle Eastern lounge, or a crowded Indian bazaar. Lucky for us, we get to enjoy it all in the cozy confines of Austin’s city limits this weekend.

The duo of Rob Garza and Eric Hilton is the driving force behind TC’s “outernational” palette but the recordings and live performances feature a revolving supporting cast. Garza and Hilton formed the band in 1995 in Washington D.C. and over the course of five studio records (along with plenty of remixes and compilation contributions), TC has established itself as an inimitable force in today’s electronic music landscape. TC utilizes a wide array of instruments to prepare its seductive potions and their live show is truly exhilarating. We want you to experience it for yourself -- enter your information in the form below for a chance to win two tickets to their show at Stubb’s on Saturday night. Get there early for Federico Aubele’s set -- the Argentine brews a soothing mix of equally far-flung genres and is a regular TC collaborator. We’re keeping our fingers crossed for an appearance by Aubele during TC’s set, or vice versa.

ACL Fest 2009: Thievery Corporation performs at 6:30 p.m. on Friday at the LIVESTRONG Stage; Federico Aubele performs at 4:45 p.m. on Saturday at the Austin Ventures Stage.
