WIN TICKETS to see CHROMEO, CYRSTAL CASTLES & BOYS NOIZE in CHICAGO!

chromeo_exacteventsThis Friday, October 30, React Presents “Freaky Deaky” at Congress Theater.  Start your Halloween weekend with special performances from Chromeo, Crystal Castles and Boys Noize!

It’s been a busy year for Pee Thug and Dave 1, the best friends who make up Chromeo. They released their recent electrofunk single “Night By Night”, a cover of The Eagles “I Can’t Tell You Why” and a 2009 DJ-Kicks compilation for the !K7 Records series.  The DJ-Kicks mix (the first since Booka Shade’s 2007 compilation)    features a selection of tracks ranging from artists like Kano and The Alan Parsons Project to Lifelike.  The compilation stays true to the 80s disco pop sound that helped influence the sexy retro style of their first two albums She’s Lost Control and Fancy Footwork.  They’re currently on tour in support of the release and will be making their stop in Chicago this Friday night.

Joining Chromeo on the bill are fellow Canadians Crystal Castles (who got their name from the 1980s She-Ra cartoon).  Crystal Castles are producer Ethan Kath and vocalist Alice Glass (who topped NME’s “2008 Cool List”). After a few of their lo-fi electro punk singles hit the music blog scene to much hype, Crystal Castles went on to release their 2008 self titled debut to positive reviews.  The release was followed by heavy touring through the festival circuit as well as international headlining tours, and a high energy performance from Glass and crew at this summer’s Lollapalooza.

Kicking off the night will be Boys Noize who’s currently touring in support of his new full-length album Power featuring his signature electrotech sound.  If his recently aired BBC Essential Mix (packed with Classic House and Techno heavyhitters) is any indication of what to expect, he should have no problem getting the dance party started right.

We’re giving away 1 free pair of tickets to this show so to enter just leave a comment below and you’ll be automatically entered to win.  The winner will be selected this Friday, October 30th at 12:00pm.  Good luck!!!**

**This contest is now over.  Congratulations to ExactEvents.com member Amanda L. who won 1 free pair of tickets to tonight’s sold out Freaky Deaky show!  Keep checking back to the site for more giveaways to upcoming events and thanks for entering!

    Please let me win these priceless tickets grew up on house/indie/dance/electro etc. I’m not just some clubhead with no plans for Friday. I was about these tickets months ago but of course waited on a friend to let me know he wanted to go. If there’s any extra promoting or something I could do I will do it because I have been a fan of this music and these three bands for half a decade. I appreciate it greatly

    I just woke up after dreaming about this show! I am not joking!!! Pretty freakin crazy…I would love to be picked to go. These are some of my favorite bands. It is my destiny to go, please don’t funk with my destiny. exactevents, you would make my year for sure if you picked me. if not well the depression will kick in and ill prolly have to settle with popping in oi oi oi or power singing fancy footwork while playing nintendo NES. I do not have NES and I suck balls at singing. Don’t put me through that. I am begging. I will have so much fun prolly enough for a couple people. so, in a sense your actually picking 5 winners if you pick me. did I mention i had a dream I saw boys noize last night…crazy stuff. love the new site keep it up. and…please pick me!

    I’ve been through way too much stuff trying to get to Chicago to see this show, only to find out that my friend didn’t have the ticket he promised me anymore. I’m here now though and this contest is my last hope, as everywhere else I’ve looked is sold out. I’m assuming the drawing is random, but if it isn’t, i could really use those tickets. I can use both but even one would make it all worth it. Thanks for the chance.
