Good news for the poor, those who forgot to buy tickets, and the diehards: The New Pornographers are providing a few extra chances to hang out with them during their upcoming North American tour. And when I say hang out, I actually mean you can physically hang out with that band, in addition to watching them perform live.
Basically, the Canadian outfit, its label Matador Records, and a whole bunch of blogs, radio stations, and record stores have partnered together for the “Together Soundcheck Sessions,” which is a huge gigantic promotion that will see said band, label, blogs, and record stores giving a way VIP packages that feature such items as tickets to shows, access to sound checks, and opportunities to meet the band — yep, even Neko Case.
For more info on the whole promotion and how to win, visit Matablog. Below, find a listing of “Together Soundcheck Sessions” stops as well as the rest of The New Pornographers’ upcoming touring schedule.
Also, don’t forget the band’s latest LP Together is available now. Read our review here.
