The National

The National kick off their three-night run at Celebrate Brooklyn! at Prospect Park tonight (6/17). Tonight’s show with Phosphorescent is sold out, but you can still get tickets to Wednesday (6/18 w/ Lord Huron) and Thursday (6/19 w/ MS MR). If you’d like to go to the Thursday show for free, we’re giving away a pair of tickets to that show. Details below.

MS MR were just at Bonnaroo where they performed their cover of LCD Soundsystem’s “Dance Yrself Clean” as well as their Arctic Monkeys cover and “Bones” which was used memorably in the trailer for S3 of Game of Thrones. The duo are set to begin recording their new album this month. Watch a Billboard video where they talk about that, below.

Speaking of Game of Thrones, S4 just wrapped up on Sunday with an action-packed finale that also had some fans of the book wondering where a certain character was. The National recorded a version of “Rains of Castamere” from Game of Thrones way back in Season 2 of the show. They’ve only played it live once, according to Setlist.FM. Maybe they’ll pull it out at one of this week’s shows?
