BV Presents: a free AC Newman release show in Brooklyn (buy the CD/LP or win tix to get in)

AC Newman

As mentioned, New Pornographer AC Newman will release his new solo album, Shut Down the Streets, on October 9 via Matador and will kick off a tour with The Mynabirds later that month which hits the NYC area on October 22 at Bowery Ballroom (tickets) and October 24 at Maxwell’s (tickets). All dates are listed below.

But you won’t have to wait that long to catch AC Newman in NYC because we’re happy to announce that he’ll be playing a BrooklynVegan-presented show at The Rock Shop on October 8, the day before the album’s release. Entry can be obtained by purchasing the album early from one of the following NYC record stores:

Other Music (in-store only, not online)
Generation/Bleecker
Academy
Sound Fix
Ear Wax
Halcyon
Permanent
In Living Stereo
Rebel Rebel
Co Op 87

The stores will have the album on sale starting October 6 (three days ahead of its official release) and tickets at each store will be limited. You can also get in by winning a pair from us. We have a few, and contest details are below.

UPDATE: You can also get a ticket if you order from the Matador store and then email [email protected] with the subject “AC Newman ticket” and your order number (while supplies last).  

We’ve also got a new short film inspired by AC Newman’s new album called “Want You To Know.” The film was made by James Blose. You can watch it, along with a list of updated dates and those contest details, below.
