Rocks Off Concert Cruise w/ Alabama Shakes

We love being in NYC so to give some love back to our friends and fans here we have added a last minute Valentines Day Rocks Off Concert Cruise!! Yes, we are hitting the high seas and doing an intimate show on a boat. Since capacity for this show is limited (250 people) and we want everyone to have an equal opportunity to attend we are doing a lottery for tickets. Enter your name and info below and you will be entered to win the opportunity to purchase 2 tickets to this special show. You can enter the lottery from now until 5pm ET tonight, Wednesday February 13. Winners will be contacted between 6-7pm ET tonight with purchase details.

Additional show details: Show is Thursday February 14, 2013. Rain, Snow or Shine. Boarding starts at 7pm on 2/14 aboard the Destiny at Pier 81, West 41st Street and West Side Highway.

This is a show for people in the music industry who are:
1. Not in a couple
2. WAY behind the curve.

And it is not free. If you happen to win, you have to pay 60 dollars. What a treat. Idiots

I don't understand the appeal of this band but I see them live repeatedly. Y

You fucking idiot..

^ why would you go to see them 3 times if you don't get the appeal?

Posted by Anonymous | February 13, 2013 5:03 PM

they opened for jack white twice, who btw is a rockstar worth seeing perform live for everyone here that thinks that anyone popular is not worth seeing, and they played i believe unopposed last year at numerous music festivals

I really want to like this band. The only thing is - I can't get passed how fat and ugly she is to be leading the band. I really wish I never saw pictures of the band.
